Is this your sentiment about our planet Earth?

We are too materialistic to appreciate what we have....until we have it no more, then we want it back after we have destroyed it. The world is heading for the drainpipe, three quarters of the world is corrupt, we don't deserve our planet and we are not so slowly destroying animals' habitats, so yes it is sentimental twaddle about our planet Earth as that is all we know....!!!

I have enjoyed camping trips in the past, even went on one 7-day 50-miler backpack trip to the middle of nowhere outside Yosemite Valley. But here's the thing about camping under the stars.

Beautiful sky, fresh air, fresh caught trout from a stream roasting on a stick, while the women hikers sit around the campfire and glow with a woodsy sensuous aura (slaps myself), and it feels great to get back to nature, until…

You suddenly have to take a poop at 3:00 a.m. in the morning in the freezing cold outside with the bears over a rotting tree log covered in ants, and within 4 days of the trip, everybody starts to smell pretty ripe, because sponge baths in the freezing cold streams leave much to be desired.

And then the bears ate half our food, and we had to hike the last 10 miles hungry as hell.

What an adventure, huh? It was great, but…ya' gotta love modern technology and indoor plumbing.

I have no use for nature. Sort of like building a log cabin and then spending all day outside of it.

Man has created a comfortable inside environment to get away from wilderness. Why go backwards?

For you maybe, but there's a hundred thousand acres around me of wildlife. I live in Timber country, where trees are cut down and regrown, where Cougars, bear, wolves and all wildlife is, including Sasquatch. I've either seen one twice or 2 different ones in the Great Northwest where there's more wildlife than people and vehicles. Alot of us see your meaning though. Mike

The number of civilizations that have collapsed because they6 did not love our planet, but just wanted to use her, is legion. This time, the whole species of humans, along with thousands of other species, and whole ecosystems are heading toward a cliff of greed, anger, and stupidity.

England? Wilderness? All our wilderness is full of people and carparks.

Be warned!!!!

I was born and raised in the back woods, or you might call it the wilderness. I've talked to the deer and played whistle with the bull frogs. Some people stay inside and watch old re-runs of Star T and I love Lucy, and by pass the beauty on the outside :P
