**Many people think of camping differently. There's the people who drive up with a car, leave the car in a designated area and then portage there way to the camp site. (Hey, that's what I learned in Algonquin) And then there's others who leave their car at the camp site and have access to them at all times. Believe it or not as much as people call that camping I consider being in the total wilderness where you don't have access to a car to make electricity or vehicle travelling camping. The article talks about how people can pile into the car in the morning to look for the nearest pancake house, but how is that called camping? Ever since I went to Algonquin with the class its made me look at camping a lot differently with all the food, travelling and of course the toilet situations. Reading this article its given me more knowledge on how people camp differently. Not everyone camps the same way and people might consider the term "camping" differently. Its definitely inspired me to look at camping as a more complex thing then everyone puts it out to be. I know give major respect to the people who can go for week long camping trips with no car to help them at all, but their friends and themselves. But I also respect those people who take the time out of their daily lives to go out in nature and camp for a couple of days even if they have some help with their car. I will definitely try out both ways to personally have an opinion on this matter. But from what I've read I would do the car camping with a family who has little kids rather than the portaging camping which I would do with friends
