UHHH, maybe,uhhh. I'm sure the word " ETIQUETTE" has differant meanings to differant people. But, I'm sure they all boil down to the same thing. Etiquette generaly means to show respect to others through actions or words. If you were to describe etiquette in a camping atmosphere you would say that keeping your campsite clean or not making alot of loud noises late at night are good examples of "ETIQUETTE".
I would not say the advertisement of a tent for sale is a good example or use for the topic of etiquette. That would qualify for a stuff for sale topic. Now if you were to sell your tent in a campground and shout "TENT FOR SALE" all night long,then that would be bad etiquette.Also listing the sale of a tent for sale under the topic CAMPING ETIQUETTE is also an example of bad etiquette. I'm glad I had the chance to explain this to you, I hope this was educational for everyone.
 Huh DUH"  Grin, I'm only messing with you! Have fun you sick twisted freaks!  Cheesy

So I guess me posting a link to a product like The Amazing Wilderness Camp Chair, which you can purchase at http://www.canada-camps.ca would also be an example of bad etiquette, except however - you brought the subject up.

Actually - back to topic - I think it is extremely important that we exercise the proper camping etiquette.  Not only to our fellow campers, but to our friend, mother nature as well.  A few tips for respecting your environment when camping:

- never create a new fire pit.  Use the ones provided, and if you are camping where a fire pit doesn't exist, use something like the Amazing Wilderness Survival Candle: video located at: http://www.youtube.com/user/EconoChallenge#p/u/2/zg4OL_2Rf9g  Save the environment and lets keep it as natural as possible!

- never cut down live trees!  If you need firewood, find standing dead wood.  Live trees will not burn in your fire anyways.  You need dry, dead wood.  So wood laying on the ground is not going to work either.  It has to be standing and dead.

- pick up your junk and take it with you.  I think this one is self explanatory.

We don't need to go into too much detail on this subject.  I think a lot of the etiquette is common sense.

Enjoy camping in Canada - and check out Canada-camps.ca to let us know what you think!
