Good information, but not really what I'd call minimalist camping. For that, just what you can carry, keep it light, trail camping for a few days or a week. Don't even bother with deodorant. Simple dry food and water. All the fancy EMS, Cabelas, REI stuff kind of goes against the concept. Army trenching tool needed for digging and filling spot latrines as you go. Really. Keep it simple. Go with a friend or a group. Know your terrain. Have good maps and a compass. Know how to travel in a straight line using the landscape; basic geometry. Be prepared for likely weather conditions. Know how to start fire in the rain. Be prepared. Clean up after yourself and others if necessary; leave where you have been better than when you got there. Camping like this has given me some of the most satisfying experiences of my life.
