You might be a regular camper who escapes to the wild weekly. Maybe you just can’t afford a vacation so a tent and a campfire make for the cheapest getaway. Maybe your friends dared you to spend just one night away from your comfortable, pampered lifestyle. Whatever your reason for camping, you don’t owe any less to the nature you’re going to come in close contact with than the next guy. And it’s true—camping is about as eco-friendly as it gets when it comes to traveling. You and your gear are pretty much the only signs of civilization around. Here are some tips to keep it that way:

+ add your ownCamping is a delight and if someone does not wish to camp, follow your own advice and leave the rest of us out of it. Soon we won't be allowed to exit our homes because we might do something wrong. There are some people who camp or do other things without caring but not everyone is a sociopath.
Finding gelatin free marshmallows...difficult ...or tasty tofu hot dogs--just is not going to happen.
Not all of us have costco cards so I just stop off at my local bulk food store and root around in there for various supplies.
Colleen P, if I get killed by animals, well too bad so sad, could be worse and get hit by a train or truck, we all die sometime! Not everyone wants to confine themselves to the indoors and watch life go by on video or in glossy photographs.
simple don't go camping, camping is like busting into your neighboors house and pretending to own it. best you leave nature and animals alone and make tents in your house, look at photos on a computer or watch shows on tv.
don't come crying if your family gets killed by animals.
it's worth the trouble
Thanks.
"Going off the beaten path can cause soil erosion and the stomping of native plants."..Seriously? The extent of restrictions that are imposed on us and we're to impose on ourselves...just wow. It's astounding.
Great article! Thanks!
.. and camp somewhere close to home - to reduce the climate changing emissions from driving.
I suggest packing a teakettle (or other pot) just for boiling water. It can be wonderful to realize that you do have a perfectly clean pot.
Love my enamel plates and bowls and mugs.
