    Also, personal hygiene is important. So if you want to make friends washing your body with soap and water and putting on some clean clothes before you go up to them is highly recommended.

      thank you, thank you, thank you! when i hiked the AT so many years ago, i just couldn't "embrace the stank". even as an 'ultralight' i kept clean. i volunteer with many unhoused communities and trying to explain that putting stinky clothes on after washing yourself: 'still smells bad', is an uphill battle. many people can't "smell themselves". in a camping situation, many people also seem to use "stank" as some kind of "badge" or "proof" that they are REAL. Ancient peoples cleaned themselves, Neanderthal's cleaned themselves, MONKEYS groom themselves! come on people, ditch the stank......

    Really appreciated you guys putting out this video. I don't know how many camp sites I've been to where people have just gone to the bathroom on the ground and left it with toilet paper. It's really disgusting. I hope everybody who is a nomad or just camping. Watches this video because it's really needed. And that's not all.They also instead of taking their trash out with them.They throw it in the firepit. This needs to stop. We're going to lose our count sites.

  • @harleyn3089
    @harleyn3089 5 днів тому +58

    These are all good points. One I would add is "no unattended fires" or "put your fires out properly". Once I was camping next to someone, and they built a huge fire in their fire ring, and then just left for dinner for a couple of hours. Then he followed it up by running his generator all night like mentioned in this video. The next morning I wasn't particularly friendly to that person.

    • @tocinoamericano
      @tocinoamericano 5 днів тому +15

      That's a great point. One night a neighboring camper just drove off at 2am and left a raging bonfire going. So at 2am I have to crawl out of bed and go into the cold to put it out. I didn't have enough water to put the fire completely out. So after pouring 12 of my 16 ounce bottles of water on it I ran back to my vehicle and got my shovel and then started transporting dirt from an area soft enough to dig and just dumping dirt on it until it was extinguished.

    Hey wait, I've camped beside this guy - he and his buddy came in late to the campground at Teton NP, spent an hour getting parked with this rig that was too big for the site; and then ran the generator until 11PM, I called the ranger and the ranger gave them a visit.

    One very important thing you should never do in life is, don't take on the hate of someone else. It gives you a mental tumor. This has been a problem in this community. The real problem is the butt hurt malignant narcissist spreading lies only for revenge. Talk to the person the rumor is being spread about and learn a thing or two.

    Bubba is ACTUALLY RELATED TO ME!! Or I to HIM; because I’ve my share of camping etiquette mistakes when: arriving to set up camp after dark, running out of something, not knowing my gear, on and on. But my generation learned all these basics camping with the YMCA, or backpacking classes taught after school; you know “Take only pictures, leave only footprints”. How do we teach love and respect for the land to our children?

    Thank you for this video. One thing I definitely would have added is know the regulations in the area you are camping. Especially what the fire, shooting, and fireworks regulations are...and follow them. BLM land has a lot of regulations that are not followed and it makes it unpleasant and often unsafe for others when people are not aware and/or refuse to follow these.
    Educate yourself, educate others and be respectful 🫡
