I mostly go into the woods to get my sun exposure. My pet theory is that sunlight exposure isn't a problem, it's the persistent exposing of the same tissue that's causing problems. So instead of baking my body for hours on a sandy beach somewhere, I prefer to expose my body intermittently to the sun through the foliage.

IMHO, the sun does not cause skin cancer. Oxidative stress causes skin cancer. If you have a functioning oxidative stress pathway you will not get skin cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3613501/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3613501/
