I ...A friend of mine made me aware of the web site. I hope that you will write more. I appreciate your way of writing, and your photos.<br /><br />My husband and I often go wildcamping with a VW Camper during summer. For more than 35 years with camping (mostly in Northern Europe) we have never been really scared or have had any incidents perceived as threatening our safety or security. I sometimes travel alone. Then I mostly park at sites where there are some other campers staying, more for the possibility to get help if getting sick than for security reasons. When friends and others ask me about wildcamping this is what they are most interested in.<br /><br />Cfr. also your blog of Jan 6th. I have never been asked that question directly, but I have a feeling that people not used to camping often wonder about how campers go to toilet. I think that the answer given by you cover what most campers do, even those with a toilet in the car, either using a public toilet when that is feasible, or just taking care of the needs somewhere in nature. I once went along with a colleague not at all used to camping, and very 'indoorsy', but after just a few days she found it quite normal too. And besides, don't the experts say that squatting is the best position when opening the bowels? My husband once commented that I seemed to prefer outdoor toilet visits increasingly with increasing age! Feeling of pride perhaps even decrease with age, also making it easier to do such a thing. So nobody shall say that hiking and camping only are for the young and fit! Even grandmothers can manage! Best regards Marie.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343472035015363528.post-20757626755004757262018-03-28T07:26:56.083-07:002018-03-28T07:26:56.083-07:00Inspiring piece!

I was amazed, and I was also interested in hearing about your life on the road. I recall I was mindful about your safety, although it's true that most people you run into are decent and you seem to be able to take care of yourself, I was still wondering a little that your travels are safe and go well. This is great to read that you do indeed go safely forth on your journey.

Every morning when heading into the bushes with toilet paper in my pocket I felt shy and embarrassed, feeling a bit like I was the only one facing this challenge (which I certainly realized that I was not). But once I stayed at a site up in the mountains with numerous van dwellers and wildcampers around it just became so obvious that we were all dealing with the issues in more or less the same way, trying to hide behind a rock, shorts down, squat and get it done as quickly as possible. And for sure my bum was just like the bum of everybody else. When going for #2 even men do it the same way. So, yes, it is good to be frank, we all do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343472035015363528.post-69502386082830359902018-02-01T06:34:36.487-08:002018-02-01T06:34:36.487-08:00Thank you . . . needed that!Thank you . . . needed that!Marjorie Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961600084261691527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343472035015363528.post-33263557095170286132018-01-31T15:08:41.538-08:002018-01-31T15:08:41.538-08:00Thanks so much!Thanks so much!Teri Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458873186380689690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343472035015363528.post-44089792814714926432018-01-31T15:08:20.957-08:002018-01-31T15:08:20.957-08:00Thanks Celeste.
