Summer festival-goers continue to abandon truckloads of camping gear
I was so shocked to see how many people left their belongings, but it was even more shocking that it was normal for everyone online,” she said.
“Everyone is really tired after a multi-day festival, but I didn’t think people were that lazy or careless.”
I’m suprised she’s surprised.
The old adage “Take only Photos, Leave only footprints” has not been drummed into kids these days.
If the tent came back missing a single peg, we would get a hiding.
If our campsite has anything but leaves and twigs after we left, we would be sent back the next weekend to do an Emu bob.
We also cleaned up after each other because of the story about Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody.
I feel really old!
All the organisers need to do is setup a Camping Exhibition straight after the summer festival!
Come on, people!
We have the same problem here in the US. Camping areas have blown up on Tik Tok, and people leave whole tents and other massive garbage. There’s not enough park rangers to staunch the flow of waste and illegal camping. It’s damaging lakes when people toss their camping gear into it.
Where does this happen? I’ll go take all the free shit.
Western US. You don’t want it, though. It’s all the crappy $40 tents and stuff.
Camping gear is too cheap apparently. It’s the same in Germany, people are just too drunk and/or tired to care.
You can probably make a good living out of returning all the bottles that are left behind, too
Time for the Bethselamin protocol

Tents are cheap: www.aussiedisposals.com.au/…/dome-tents.html
$40. And these tents likely won’t survive multiple uses anyway.
They are still grubs for leaving them behind.
