In "Maps and Dreams," which is surely the silliest book about camping ever written, Hugh Brody spends about 300 pages describing how a tribe of Indians in British Columbia has maintained its simple, traditional, non-western ways against the onslaught of evil Europeans.
Its native lifestyle includes what you would expect -- rifles, violence and the debauchery of 8-year-olds with whiskey -- and one you might not: When they go into the wilderness to hunt meat (umm, meat), they take along automatic washing machines.

It already wasn't camping anyway.
