Primitive Camping with a Tarp and Haversack

To celebrate National Trails Day, I backpacked Angelina National Forest, Texas, USA, carrying only a tarp and haversack. Because the weather was warm, a sleeping bag was not necessary. My 8 ft x 8 ft (2.4 m x 2.4 m) tarp made a comfortable hammock. It was awesome to hike in a beautiful, fire-maintained, upland longleaf pine savanna. This adventure allowed me to practice primitive fire-making skills with flint and steel. One of the trails led to the Aldridge Sawmill Historic site which became a ghost town in 1927.
Most US National Forests and BLM land permit dispersed camping, similar to what is shown in this video: www.fs.usda.gov... However, specific rules are different in various locations. Contact local authorities to determine what is permitted.
