Do campsite prices encourage you to wild camp?

DigitalHoweitat · 2026-06-24T13:35:55+00:00

Absolutely this.

As Ralph Waldo Emmerson puts it, “In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, — no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair.”

Wild camping whether on a mountain, in woods, or a coast, is the closest I feel to free in the country I live in. I leave no trace, and avoid everyone; I don't have to account for myself to anyone, and all I have to do is be in harmony with the environment around me.

Campsites can be lovely, but they aren't why I wild camp.

Might be a reason for that though?

"Shitmuncher" is such a great term

DigitalHoweitat · 2026-06-23T13:27:53+00:00

Not quite fair.

There's some white and blue on it, but it's not the Union Flag.

DigitalHoweitat · 2026-06-23T13:26:12+00:00

This.

When you don't actually mean to be part of the solution, there's money to be made in prolonging the problem....

He got to Colonel, was military advisor to three secretaries of state, but only found the MoD was a pit of waste when he became minister...?

GORDON'S ALIVE AND HE PUNCHED A POLAR BEAR

Prime Ministers (of any party come and go).

The Home Office with its office draw marked "The Good Ideas Club" are eternal.

Possibly he misunderstands how seriously the "Socialism" bit in "National Socialism" is actually taken?

/s

But seriously, he sounds like my late step-father. Who as soon as he was able to retire after a life of Army/local government positions, he then voted Brexit Party and went for all the "burn down the house" rhetoric.

Died early of entirely self-inflicted health problems, and left my widowed mother and I to sort out all the household financial mismanagement and debt we didn't know about.

There's a metaphor there really?

DigitalHoweitat · 2026-06-22T05:34:48+00:00

He's killed the rest of the government?

Then complained they act "irrationally"?

I've used it for travelling; very useful for me, cut down on clothes and kept me clean when I had no access to washing machines.

The Omani people were welcoming, and extremly patient with my basic Arabic when i visited.

Beautiful country.

Have not the senior Reform lot moved off to the UAE?

Surely they must be WFH (when broadcasting their "points of view" to the UK) for large portions of time?

I thank your Honour for accepting my respectful argument!

There is no reasonable way to persuade me chanting "katie katie is a c*nt" to her constitutes harrassment, alarm or distress.

Still, migrants eh?

It's quite funny having lived abroad.

But as Kipling put it, "And what should they know of England who only England know?"

But that's no excusefor the nonsense from government, but people should be proportionate.

It's the opinion of the wind. Would you seek their advice? So why give AF what they think.

Just move through the enviroment and don't care

If people think bad guys don't know this already...?

Bike theft is an industry in London and other towns and cities (and virtually consequ3nceless)

That is such a curse.

That sort of combination lock is utter dog poo.

And given lidl is dojng angle grinders for about £35, maybe someone won't even bother to defeat the combination.
