Sadly, I don't remember my first night out camping. I'm sure it was a big deal at the time, but didn't leave any lasting memory.
But, several hundred camp-outs later and I still don't recall a bad one!

I hope I don't get sick from the water, all you have to do is wait for the roiling boil?
My luck I'll be very sick.
Just take some water with you. Boiling will kill bateria and viruses but can't get rid of chemical polutants. There's a lovely river where we occasionally go for a walk but just up stream from the woods is a sewerage treatment works which overflows into the river when there is a lot of rain. All but the largest solids get washed in and you'd never know.Originally Posted by bushcraftboy
Where I live is a big mining area and the amount of arsenic and other nasty substances that are present is unnerving which is why I always take water with me when I can.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
