Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that backpacking and camping are taught, perhaps mostly from father to son.

I know that I would have enjoyed camping if I had more opportunity when I was younger, but I didn't have an experienced parent to take me and show me.

As an adult, I think it's difficult to just decide one day to go on a camping vacation and head to the sporting goods store to equip, without having someone else to guide me.

It's probably the same thing with minorities; it wasn't a handed-down family learning.

You're spot on!

But, knowing California politicians, I see a new "Inner -City Youth to the Wilderness" program stirring in Sacramento.
