[pct-l] Just one statistic...

I assume  none of them involved fatal bear attacks since according to 
Mark V only one in three billion are fatal.
Did that mean the participants in this  "primitive camping"  program had 
to carry a pick nick table?....or just a kitchen table?
BTW  who paid for this wonderful  "primitive camping" program?

out of this explanation of 'primitive camping': For most primitive 
camping, one must carry water and provide all camping facilities, such 
as a table. Apparently 38.4 million people were involved in this 
'primitive camping' between 1999 and 2002. Gary Wright (Radar)
