  • Cook on a stove. Way easier and quicker. Without a fire you’ll see/hear more wildlife. You won’t wake up with smokeface, puffy eyes, everything smelling like smoke. In my experience most camping injuries involve fire/firewood gathering. If backpacking, without a fire you’ll save a lot of energy. No holes in expensive nylon gear. I know going without a fire is sacrilege to a lot of people, give it a try sometime

    That’s with 7% being an average, they were in the high teens in the 80’s. Funny how that works. Rates go up, house prices go down and vice versa. Supply and demand of course but it’s as if cost of living is based on what you can afford to pay not what the product is worth. Throw in property taxes and there’s another pesky variable affecting the price. I once considered buying a vacation cabin in NY state because the price was remarkably cheap until I saw the property taxes. A mortgage gets paid off but property taxes are forever. I guess my long, rambling point I’ve piggyback onto yours is it’s more complicated than “capitalism sucks”
