On the positive side, we have a network of State and National Parks stunningly well kept and accessible to the average joe. As much as we've altered the environment in the name of progress and profiting, our state, federal, and county governments are doing a decent job of protecting these natural areas for recreation and posterity. I plan to visit as many as I can this year.
So many fantastic parks to visit! One doesn't need to be a diehard survivalist to enjoy the natural world. I know very little about survivalism. I want to camp in comfort. Not wasting or abusing the environment but not going without a shower. Propane is great for cooking. I'm careful to recycle and use water and electric sparingly. I re-use plastic bags. I'm very conscientious when it comes to the dogs. I pick up after them and keep them leashed. I'm finding that most campers have leashed pets and this comes as a big relief.
