Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you?
If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies,
those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are
seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair,
cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every
national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up
campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers.
So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with
other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of
communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to
the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to
experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you
really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last
the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi
service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar
get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded
shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last
anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp

I settled into my seat on a plane to Cuba feeling frustrated. When I planned the trip, I
had assumed that my Cuban partner and I would go to the field directly to collect water
samples from rivers. That’s how I’d done fieldwork in Namibia and Bolivia. But not in Cuba,
it seemed. Five days earlier, a Cuban scientist had emailed to inform me that we would only
be meeting to talk about our planned project. Sampling would happen during a later trip.
At the airport, one of my partners greeted me. We drove to the research center where he
worked, and then toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, students and
even the cook. I was impressed that I was introduced to each person. The lack of hierarchy
(
等级制度
) was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia (
学术界
).
The next day, we met again to brainstorm. Together, we looked at maps to plan how we
were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware
that the map I had left out some new reservoirs (
水库
) Local involvement and knowledge
were key — making me wonder what I’d missed working without such a team in other
places.
Six months later, I flew back to Cuba and this time, we headed to the field. I was
impressed again by the lengths to which my Cuban partners went to ensure that all team
members were treated equally. We drove around Cuba in bright yellow minibuses, and each
minibus had a mix of members at all seniority levels. In the field, all members sweated
together.
On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at

one table. When a restaurant couldn’t accommodate the team without separating us, my
partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table.
In 26 years as a professor, I have never been a fan of academia’s hierarchy. I want
everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners
take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear that all team members are valued,
that everyone is equal, and that true teamwork makes for better science.

“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look
down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also
liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many
domestic (
驯养的
) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel,
Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend
to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The
attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a
minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among
pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore

wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says
about pigs’ cognitive (
认知的
) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the
heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three
minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters reconciled with
each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this
happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start
with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted
with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the
bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced
anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in
after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably
an example of kin selection (

), which favors the development of behavior.

body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including
the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising
global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more
intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year.
A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has
fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110
degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is
an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called,
feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also
allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.
Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the
number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes,
tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken
and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much
exposure to heat.
The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely
are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body
doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack
air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the
very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart
disease.
