fern shuffle

This is the way to walk amongst ferns in the forest as to not make any sound or rustling to alert anyone or anything that you are there. It is done by using the outside of your leg and ankle to push or “swish” the fern to the side while taking a step forward, alternating legs to keep yourself walking forward. This allows you to see and avoid twigs or other things under the fern which may cause a sound to be made.

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend at the cabin so I did the fern shuffle all the way there.
