Get off it Weary. Not everyone who understands the role of wildness agrees 
with you on every issue and not everyone who agrees with you understands 
wildness the same way you do. If you *really* want to experience wildness 
you could ask Shane for lessons on hiking naked and do the survival bit 
carrying nothing but a knife, fishhook and a bit of string.

We all make concessions to comfort and civilization when we go into the 
woods. Just because someone else's concessions are different from yours 
doesn't mean "they don't understand" and FWIW, I don't recall asking.
