BTW, I can testify that bushwhacking is more risky than walking a trail. I was hiking on Sunday night (yes, in the dark) and I decided go "off trail" and take a short cut back to my truck (you should not attempt this without a GPS) I didn't see a branch protruding up from a downed tree and tripped over it and slammed hard into the ground. When I got up I had a mouth full of blood and a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder.
That sucks. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
