"Yeah, sure I can sit on the edge of that cliff and then push out that rock down there by my feet"

"That's not wet moss on that mid-creek rock, it's just a little different color"

"I can leap that fence"

"I can wade this rose thicket, it's not that thick"

"That cliff is an easy climb"

Sadly, all of these had been said/thought by yours truly in the field within the last couple years.
