    While we do have access to places where we can camp in the wild, in reality 99% of camping here is done in the same kind of campgrounds you describe.

      Interesting! It always seemed like more. I have a friend who lives in Vancouver, and he did say that camping in the wild was kinda scary with all the predators there. But he’s born and raised in Europe, so I figured that was why it was too daunting for him.

        In my home state of Pennsylvania (think Southern Germany) we have a lot of hiking trails in the mountains where some people like to camp. All through my 20’s I would solo hike forest trails with all of my supplies. Sometimes I would stay out for 4 or 5 nights and I would average 15-20 miles per day. Honestly the best times of my life were spent deep in the woods by myself.
