Bro you fly the bush, I can never even compare to that, and gods speed and safety to you, and always blue skies!
But trust me, I do all I can to keep 1.my aircraft 2.my jumpers 3. my fellow local pilots safe, and going up and down ever 20 minutes I meet many a bonehead, but I work with everyone. I just want to be safe, have fun, and be safe! I feel you bro and blue skies to you!

I am noone to talk about standard traffic pattern entries by any means as I've done many flights where standard 1000 agl TPA was quite a bit higher than my enroute altitude (yes it was legal).
Also I have flown a whole heck of a lot of nonstandard entries over remote lakes.
I am paranoid about midairs though, just like everybody else. I have had close calls on crummy days far away from any airport, even in southeast AK. Crummy weather forcing VFR opposite direction traffic at each other, and even with widespread position reporting it's amazing how close you can come to hitting somebody else on a day when everything seems right with the world.
I guess all I'm saying is don't be in too big of a hurry.
Stay safe my friend.
