An enjoyable excursion into the non-traditional area of 'swamp' camping. Yes, literally in a swamp. I'm still not certain I would want to hang out that closely with mosquitoes (the whine gives me migraines) or leeches, but to each his own.

My biggest quibble is the author's use of the word 'poisonous' where he means 'venomous'.

If you eat it and it makes you sick or makes you die--it's poisonous.

If it bites or stabs you and makes you ill or makes you die--it's venomous.

I'm not certain how practical swamp camping is nowadays--I suspect that many 'swamps' are considered wetlands and people are probably highly discouraged from camping in them. ( )
