Hey Everyone,
I recently mountineered the Appalachians, and I was told to bring protection, because everyone else in that area knows that there isn't anyone to yell to for help! So, I am gonna camp sometimes in Europe, and was wondering if I needed to take the same precautions? or, even just backpacking, even!!? Thanks.

not if you're doing social camping, haha- for whatevr that's worth. if you plant to go far out into the forest, and kind of small group style - of course i'd bring a decent pocket knife and a few flares.

Hey,
I guess I don't really know what the campsites are like there. I may or maynot be with anyone,....but I was just curious if anyone has had any trouble! I'm sure that ladies would be more of the type to ask this!! haha! Just wondering though, it would ruin my trip to lose my important things, ya know!??

Hi, I don't think I can add a whole lot, but I've been looking a lot into campgrounds, and most of the ones I've found seem to be similar to ones in the States (I'm not sure where you're from). Anyhow, I'm planning on staying at mostly public ones (ment. above) and possibly on a couple beaches where allowed. I'm not really into the whole deep end of the woods things (I'm a total wuss!!!). So, I'm sure as long as people are around, treat it like you would camping at home. If you will be out in the middle of nowhere, do what you did in the Appal. Hopefully someone with personal experience can help more!
