Boycott “No Campfires”

What puzzles me is that people will take part in an activity that clearly includes an aspect that they don't like, and knowing full well that that particular aspect is an integral part of the activity, set out to change things to remove that part which they don't like, ruining it for everyone.

"Gee I love surfing, but the sharks!!! We should kill all the seals so the sharks will go away."

For Barney...
"I love ice cream, but the sugar!!! Let's get the gummint to set limits on the amount of sugar they are forcing me to eat."

Make a trip to Prince Edward Island to find out how much french fries made with heart healthy oils suck.

We're not happy until you're not happy.

It is a lot like moving in beside a racetrack, or airport, and whining about the noise from the racetrack, or airport.
Don't want to hear race cars, or plane. Don't move in beside of them. Don't want to smell campfires. Don't go where they will be. Really is that simple.

A important part of camping is in fact the fire at night. where you can wind down, and discuss the days events, and plan what you want to do tomarrow. where you can meet with friends, and make new ones. A good fire just about ALWAYS draws a crowd.

Many of us do not destination camp. We don't just use our campers for a hotel room, we go camping, just have a bed to sleep in. We go camping to relax, lay around the fire, go fishing, or just plain do nothing. A camp fire is a big part of that relaxing. Watching a fire will put you to sleep faster than drugs. Every part of your body relaxes when sitting by the fire. That is why we only go to places that allow fires
