One of my younger brothers subscribes to this kind of 'thinking', such as it is.

He's a big enviro.

He returned from a camping trip once gushing how great it was to commune with nature and how we've 'lost something' and how great it would be to return to a 'pre-modern lifestyle'.

Mind you he was blabbering this nonsense as he was putting away his lightweight nylon tent, caring for his Gore-Tex boots, his DuPont Holo-Fil sleeping bag and cold weather gear, cleaning up the Coleman fuel stove, and packing away the rest of his dehydrated meals packed in their nitrogen filled mylar reinforced aluminum foil packages.

He then extolled the virtues of his Katydin water filter with its ceramic filter cartridges and remarked that he was glad he had a couple of Bic lighters with him because his matches got wet.

That happened when some water splashed into the Kevlar canoe he had rented for his triumphant return to the embracing bosom of Mother Nature.

All I did was smile.

Sometimes people make things too easy.

The longer version of it is even better. I'll look for it and post if if I find it on You Tube.
