In this video Rich examines an aboandoned camp and discusses some of the principles involved in estimating the age of a camp's last use if a fire scar is present.
Thanks for the video. To understand how a campfire will look over time in some scenarios, I've set up an experiment with a camp fire in my yard. My observational skills are improving.
It's really frustrating coming across discarded human items and waste. Ignorance is bad enough, but negligence is worse. It's not hard to clean up after yourself, and besides the advantage to our habitat, it's more difficult to be tracked and give away intelligence. Keeping a low profile starts with your state of mind and it's sad to see how few people have the right attitude when it comes to adverse impact on your environment, for whatever reason. Thanks for your great videos as always, Rich.
How far was this campsite from civilization (roads, houses, towns)? If you were the hobo what steps would you have taken (other than the obvious) to leave no trace?
very good video mate , im always interested in your down to earth observations in the bush, i dont think you would miss much of whats living or moving around you which makes me curious if youve had any contact with a creature the aboriginals called the hairy man or known to us as the yowie. i follow yowie hunters .com as ive had some experiences myself and ive also come across unexplained things which i know were not man or animal made. if you have any experiences in that field as you spend so much time in the bush it would be an interesting topic as more and more sightings are happening even amongst the military.

Thanks for showing this.
Interesting tracking observation.
Take care

Great video mate thanks for posting it. Very applicable for me as I'm always coming across old fire rings.
