>>2118038its not an american thing, well maybe the designated camp site thing here you just camp where you want.
reason to so so is simple, you have limited time and a desire to just fuck off into nature without any real goal or purpose just chill around a fire and drink a few beers. having to hike cuts down the time you get to chill and limit the comforts you can bring along.
pic related, solitude, roaring river and lots of firewood close by, why would i hike away from my car then?
