In The Forest, each piece of information pertaining to everything you need and everything you need to be doing is not always, and rarely is, what could be considered 'common sense' or logical -- each piece of information is more than knowledge, it is a key unlocking the forest - but for most of those keys, death is required to obtain them - an ancient learning process - where they were given to the living by the dead and kept alight in time by word and tradition

Know that, although the genocide of the Native Americans by the Europeans was widespread, you can be confident that not a single European who lived in the mountains or the woods for any length of time before the 19th century had ever harmed a native - as their survival, the keys to the forest, had been given to them by the native americans; and even if a European had thought himself to be a master of the forest knowing all there is to know about it, any native would be able to tell that European something entirely new about the forest he would have never figured out in his lifetime, for the knowledge held by the natives was ancient and had been learned over many generations

It is a theory that when Sherman lead his march to the sea during the civil war where he set villages ablaze, he made such an aggressive march to the sea not as any offensive military tactic, but because he was terrified and was fleeing the woods and mountains of northwestern georgia, which along with Tennessee were a barrier between the north and south, and for all practical consideration could not truly be considered confederate territory OR union territory, as only those living for themselves resided there, belonging to no government as no government could govern a place which already entirely governs itself, and no one there to govern besides those who abided by no laws other than those of the forest itself
