    Do you camp in the wilderness? Because most people insist on bringing their car or their SUV with them.

    I make it a point to cycle to provincial parks and use rustic camp grounds, but most of these still have parking spaces. In fact, the provincial parks here literally have a disclaimer on their website to warn people that some camp sites are not accessible by car. You have to tick a box that says “I understand this camp ground is not accessible by car”.

    And if people want to go on crown/public lands where wild camping is permitted, then they’re probably gonna use a fucking car.

      I camp in the wilderness. I can still hear the cars. There is no escape. You’d have to go way out into the wild to be free from noise pollution. Or other pollution. And there’s still going to be both.

        That’s the point. You have to traverse serious wilderness to get away from it. It used to be the normal state of the world. Now it’s all fucking smog and 24/7 engine noise. You’d have to go seriously off grid to get away from it.
