  1. I found your blog via the NYT article. I grew up camping and love to meet other people who enjoy it as much as I do. You have some good material here, but I did notice your YouTube video on how to start a fire has some problems. The video says it's 9:43 long, but the second half appears to be a repeat of the first half without sound. It would also be nice to see you discuss fire safety. Specifically how to pick/clear a spot to make a fire if there isn't a fire pit, how to put out a fire properly, and how to put an unburned stick in the fire after it's been put out (if a forest fire starts in the area, this will show that your fire was out). It would also be useful to show people how to make a fire after a rain. If you plan to cook on a fire but you can't get one started (and don't have a backup plan), it can be a pretty bad trip.

  2. I enjoyed your article. I prefer to spend the night in a campground so that I can have a fire and just relax, but I also stealth camp when necessary. Since I do a lot of biking on rural bike trails, I found the easiest stealth camping is to look for a secluded level spot just off the trail. When the railroads first put in the rail lines, they usually included a generous right of way on either side of the tracks. When the rail lines get converted to bike trails, these right of ways usually remain so you can usually find a comfortable place to camp that’s not on private property. I’ve also camped in rural cemeteries, which tend to be secluded and beautiful; they also frequently have water.
