[Every Day]

Now, if you want stay on your soap box how about you go after the drunks and rowdys at the provincial and private lakes who say screw the rules and party all night and leave garbage and ruin the whole weekend for dozens of families?

then wake up a few hours later and fire off a 100 rounds before he jumps in his float tube to drink away the afternoon, then what's the point???

Firing off 100 shots, yelling country songs at the top of your lungs and going and drinking away the afternoon sounds just like what you are doing. I can't really side with either sides here (I'm just pointing out that you are contradicting yourself all over the place here). I love country and have no problems with people going to remote places to party. Just clean up your sh** (like no one ever does) and respect others and there is no problem - hopefully you pick up all your rounds as well!

And you've obviously never been in a provincial camp site. You get 1 warning and then you get evicted for any noise past 10 am (or for noise that is too loud during normal hours regardless). During the eviction they have the power to write you a number of fairly significant fines as well. You would also get very large fines for littering.

sandman- The whole reason we avoid provincial sites is to be able to do what we want when we want. If a man cant stay up til 5am in front of a fire, cranking country and singing along at the top of his lungs, then wake up a few hours later and fire off a 100 rounds before he jumps in his float tube to drink away the afternoon, then what's the point???

If you don't want to be "disrespected" and want a quiet, peaceful, easy going camping then go provincial or a private lake- that's what they are there for. When my baby boy is old enough and I can take him and the wife that's what we'll do- tunkwa, roche, cultus, etc.

Anyways, if you are out in the boonies and the music at night keeps you up and has you feeling disrespected, then you either need to find a new spot or grab a beer and a joint and go join the party!

Booze, drugs and firearms are a lethal mix!!

Don't forget the float tube on the lake. Oh wait this sounds like natural selection, too bad it's not more effective and faster acting...

And then there's the drive home after drinking the afternoon away in the float tube after a sleepless night.

ya, because every new father is just itching to kill himself on a drunken drive home...

You guys ever think that people actually drive up on Friday, party Friday night and Saturday night and drive home safely on sunday after a great weekend?

Im not sure if you guys are trolls looking for a reaction or just idiots....

Yup we are the idiots while you're the normal guy who wants to go party it up in the outdoors shooting stuff randomly, yell country at the top of your lungs like a little girl, doing drugs in the great outdoors and more than likely leave crap everywhere (as you havent said you clean up your mess yet, and if you say it now is just too late for it to be an honest answer) asking a bunch of outdoor enthuisiests who take care of cherish and protect the environment. Yup you're right we are the idiots, not you. I wonder how old you truly are as you act like the immature high school kids who do the exact same thing every long weekend of the summer...

[jimmywits]

Depending on how much booze and drugs you consume on the Saturday night, you can easily be unfit to drive on the Sunday!!

What sort of weapons were you discharging a hundred rounds from, after drinking, etc... all night??

[bbronswyk2000]

Your acting like a redneck but dont have a 4x4? WOW!! If others are camping around you what gives you the right to be disrespectful? What if the people around you have kids? Are you still going to blare your music while their sleeping? If you did that near me I would ask you to turn it down.

Like I said in an earlier post. If you dont have a 4x4 their is no way you are getting a camping spot where you will be alone and able to be a redneck. The redneck comment is not disrespectful either as I have friends that are proud to be a redneck but they are not disrespectful!!!

Rainbow Fest? Anything to do with the rainbow flag now a days?

I wouldn't consider the Kane Valley lakes as "remote". The area can be pretty busy, especially on weekends. All of the lakes have campsites available and at least one or two are usually used. The road is also used regularly by residents up there, plus the cattles being herded each morning. If you're playing music loudly until 5am, firing 100 rounds in the morning etc, I'm pretty sure the cops will show up in no time to escort you out.

Personally I have no interest in those activities when camping and don't understand it, but don't really care as long as no one is doing it around me and garbage is cleaned up afterward, including shell casings. What I am curious about, thewilliamswall, if I have already set up my camp at a remote lake and expect to enjoy the silence during my stay, would you still, arrive after me, set up your camp and carry out those activities mentioned? If yes, would you consider that as good remote camping etiquette?

I would recommend cat lake by squamish then....  I went to do some recon there last summer with the wife and when we walked around the lake I was pretty sure we were the oldest people there..... i'm 36

the 'ranger', if thats what you want to call her, said they don't really care about music or partying because the vast majority of campers are young kids who only brought hot dogs and booze.

so other than firing off your weapons it would be a good place to camp and you would be partying with people who are also drunk and high as a mofo....  and they stock the lake too. 

and your front wheel drive car can get there.

[troutbreath]

Probably would fit right in at Foley lake most weekends.

Rainbow Fest? Anything to do with the rainbow flag now a days? 

Rainbow fest was a " word of mouth" weekend of live heavy metal music on a concert stage set up where Thurston meadows campground now is, some 30 yrs ago. The music went around the clock. One of the better bands started their set at 4:00 am on Saturday morning. I do remember a couple of cars torched to make bonfires. Unfortunately near the end of the weekend, one of the campers was run over while passed out in some long grass and was taken to the hospital, not sure if he survived.
