Put your shoes in your tent at night so slugs don't crawl in them. Camping in a national Forest is often free. Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

Try not to leave even footprints please. People go trailblazing way too often when there's perfectly good trails already.

In the U.S. of A - in Germany do not camp in the wild if you're fond of your money. Although we have a milder variant of the Allemannsretten, ours excludes camping in the wild

This depends on the state.

For instance in Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein you can camp "in the wild"*

*there is limits in natural preserves, and what is defined as camping can vary. e.g. tarp vs tent, obv. no RVs...

[–] philpo@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Nope. You can't.

Brandenburg only has extended and codified the "taking an interruption of your travel" (Rast) into their nature laws - and you must leave after one day. You are only allowed to use it minimally and e.g. make no fire,etc. And even then you need permission from the owner - which the state doesn't usually grant for their woods/grounds.

In Schleswig Holstein it's totally forbidden besides the "wild camping spots" - but these are just more "wild" campgrounds, similar to what you find in US national parks. And cost money,btw.
