As you can see from my posts I’m all for the easy life and simple approach - but that is just me. We all have something that makes us “us”.
For you it might be building a natural shelter or making fire from what you can find.
One of my personal prides is that the only thing that I leave behind my camp, to the average observer, is a slight compression in the ground where I was pitched. There are places where I camp that I make the effort to minimise even that. I’d sometimes prefer that it not be known that I’d been there at all. You won’t find my fire site. You won’t find anything at all that I brought with me, biodegradable or not. For me It’s no different from preferring a straight sided glass for beer, or maybe for you your choice of camo pattern. This is just me.
I’m not kidding myself. An outdoor professional might well recognise that I’d been there if they happened to came close. A dog could tell quarter of a mile away.
Leave nothing but footprints? - not if I can help it!
