Don't let them bust your chops! If you enjoy it and it's your version of primitive then go for it.
Half of these guys "camp" with generators and gas grills...
Looks like y"all had fun to me.
Looks like a fun trip! What river did y'all go down? Was the area you camped on public land? Love doing that sort of thing just getting harder and harder to find places that let you get truly wild. Most public lands down here make you use designated camping spots, can't cut any wood, no open fires, etc.
Soverign land and I cut my trees for my tent off of my own property and took it with me. The fire wood we gathered from what was dead on the ground. It is very hard to find property to do that kind of camping on in todays world. Why public land makes you bring your own fire wood instead of gathering it I don't know sounds preety dumb to me. We have parks here that are the same way and it sucks. Do some research and see if you can find some soverign land in your area there is alot of it its just not publisized you have to find it your self.
Thats pretty cool. I haven't done any of that in years. When I see most people camping its more like living outta the car and not camping. I was always taught that if you can't carry it in you don't need it.
