Rural Urban Suburb

8) Do you believe technology (cell phones, MP’s, other) belongs in the outdoors, why?

i wouldnt say the do or dont, but i feel in some cases they have made it safer. gps devices, (which are now in many cell phones) and other devices have made the outdoors easier to access to more people, which i always feel is a good thing

9) How would you define a great outdoor experience?
eat outdoor experience?

not sure what you mean by eat outdoors, not sure eating outdoors seals the deal for a great experience. . . . but. . .i think it can be summed up by getting to know yourself or those you are with a bit better, taking the time to unwind and get a sense of grounding again

Camping in the middle of no where. Not a camp ground or in an RV, but in a tent a long ways from any kind of civilization.

By weekly outdoors experience I don't mean going out in the middle of no where and camping, I mean just going outside and being with the outdoors, go poke a tree with a stick, that sort of thing.

Only if needed for utility -- for example a cell phone or FRS radio can be used to call for help, coordinate a pickup at the end of a hike or hunt. A GPS makes a lot of sense for wilderness hunting and travel.

6) How would you feel if cell phones, disk players, and MP3s were outlawed at your parks?
Glad- I don't go to listen to other people's music, and if I can hear it, then it's too loud. Their good time shouldn't affect me, and vice versa. If I can't hear it from my area, then let them play it (Ex- If I have to pass it to use a public restroom, then that is me in their area...)
7) What type of environment did you grow up in during your youth and adolescence?
City/ outskirts of Boston, MA
8) Do you believe technology (cell phones, MP’s, other) belongs in the outdoors, why?

IMO- Cell is good for emergencys. Past that, they do not have a place in MY outdoors- your view may be different. Doesn't make either one of us right or wrong, as long as it doesn't ruin either one of our good times...
