>>899835yep. I used to go to Shenandoah NP until I got sick of this shit. Every cockhole with a new internet axe just comes in a fucks shit up. When you're keyed into it, and know what a sparsely traveled un-fucked with forest looks like, it's obvious how fucked a place like SNP is.
It's an attitude thing, and a lack of perspective. They don't see setting up new campsites when there's an established one as a bad thing. When they're hiking they don't see that when everyone makes their own site, that it's hideous when there's old fires and trampled undergrowth. To them they're practicing essential skills, and nature is bountiful and will provide. To them, they're alone and that trash they're throwing out/burying/burning is a drop in an ocean. All I can say is, I hope they stay contained in shitty parks and leave the majority of wildernesses alone.
Bushcrafting isn't inherently bad, same with heavily traveled parks. There's just this breed of idiots that fuck shit up.
