will do when I'm working with a fresh brain
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Tell them Kevin sent you!!
I think these guys are different. They have a couple that volunteers (camp hosts) at Bear Island. They have an RV pad with a utility hook up. At the main camp where most of the "regular long term campers" stay you'll find a fire ring and some have a picnic table.
Then you have guys like old man John from Michigan. He just comes down and sets up camp in an old RV that he tows a trailer with some extra gear and a 4X4 Suzuki Samurai. He just stays there. He has to deal with any rangers that come around. Then there are quite a few others out there that stay for months and come back on regular basis.
I googled "big cypress bear island" and found a picture of L to R: John, a teacher from Fort Lauderdale ( I can't remember her name), and I think the other guy is named Bob. We don't stay in the main Bear island camp much. But, I think John has spent ever winter and spring out there since around 2000 or 2001. He is one of a handful of long term campers who are not vagrants. There are those that camp out there that are basically homeless. John owns a home in Michigan which he uses to collect his mail. LOL
