backpack camping trips image
Brandon S
I am looking for remote areas in NC that I can camp on, I am not looking for campgrounds, I am looking for vast and remote areas for a survival/backpack/camping trip. Also I need to be able to make ground fires and cut trees (if need be, definitely not cutting green trees just to cut/perferably dead trees) and i need to be able to do it legally, I have heard most State parks do not allow you to make fires or cut trees. Example : where does Les Stroud and Bear Grylls find all this amazing land?
Answer
Les and Bear use private property. State and national forests do not allow the cutting of trees or the harm or alteration of natural features and wildlife or campfires without specific permit. You could have a fire with a permit and you could use dead fall wood you find laying on the ground. There are ways to experience the wild lands with out cutting trees or making fire you just bring your own shelter and use a backpackers stove. Fishing and hunting can be done you just need to obey the laws of the land and have the permits required to do so. Wilderness area's are located in national forests and most require a permit to access them, Wild lands are all throughout a national forest and you can camp anywhere with in them it is called "dispersed camping" and again the only permits you will need are a campfire permit and possibly a parking permit.

How to prepare for a long distance camping trip?
I have camped all my life but they have always been in driving distance so I pack up the car and off I go. I am flying from Boston to CA for a 4 day camping trip and am unsure about packing for a plane ride. The backpack I plan on bringing is peobably too big for carry on, but I don't trust it checked. What do you suggest? Carry on my sleeping bag and pillow and check the pack? Maybe?
Thanks!
Answer
I would pack my backpack as I would for the camping trip. And then but a big cheap duffel bag. (I got a huge hockey gear sized one at a local chain store for cheap.) Put your whole ready to go pack in it and zip it up. The duffel protects the pack and all the straps, and can be folded down small and stowed away while your camping. Until the flight home.
Some packs have a small removable pouch or pocket that can be used as a carry on.
