Backpacking is a spiritual experience, and is a religion. It entails the experience of wilderness in its pristine state, away from the maddening crowd.
While private campsite owners have been lobbying and turning legislation away from dispersed camping, turning camping into a 'resort' experience, back packers want the true nature experience, the call of the wild, the conservation of natural genome and the bio-diversity.
I am calling for the restoration of dispersed camping, restoration of the oak Savannah and encouragement of home-stays using sites like airbnb, instead of paid DNR or private camping and RVs.
In my experience, I have had to walk more than 30 miles to the next dispersed site, often having to walk day and night, water is scarce and often electricity and wifi are needed. We need more wifi hotspots on wilderness trails, with a water tap and a plug point, simple facilities that cost less than $100 each, Every life saved is important and many die of dehydration!
