wife and I have very little experience /out/ing. Done some light mountain hiking once in new mexico and modest traveling in thailand but thats about it. We're gonna try some primitive camping at a nearby state park. Any tips? Our plan is to hike around the park during the day and find a good spot to build a camp, set up a lien-to and build a fire pit. Any other fun beginner primitive camping accomplishments we can try? I suck at fishing but I'm gonna try and catch-and-cook at the parks lake.
>>2878188start with day hikes and car camping in places that have bathrooms, ease into it.
>>2878188My advice is to not do those things. They are all destruction of the park. Also - make sure your wife knows how to piss and shit out of doors. Make sure your wife knows she won't get a hot bath for a few days. This last is the main reason my wife will never go backpacking.
>>2878204fallen timber is allowed to be used per the parks rules and fires are allowed to be lit. What else is the point of a park entirely dedicated to camping if you're not doing camping things?
>>2878210I feel sorry for the forest jannies who have deal with your type.
>>2878212I don't understand, I don't want to cause any harm to the ecosystem but I don't understand why you're saying fashioning some sticks to hold up a tarp and throwing some logs in a fire ring is problematic. We dump oil in the ocean after indiscriminately trawling up all the marine life and replace swaths of land with polluting data centers but I cant sleep on some sticks next to a camp fire??

>>2878213Lol ignore the autists Just dont burn the forest down
>>2878213>fashioning some sticks to hold up a tarpBecause you're going to be be destroying shrubs etc to clear a space to put up your tarp.>and throwing some logs in a fire ring is problematic.Fire destroys organic matter that should be left in the ecosystem. This isn't rocket appliances
>>2878213Ignore him>>2878286What a faggot.Enjoying a camp fire is a core /out/ and something one should do whenever you have the opportunity
>>2878286Burning dead wood is good for the undergrowth
