Why? Alligators? I keep away abit because of the humidity. But I have never thought off it as a rule?
- jupp0r 3y agoThis is to not disturb animals who depend on water access at night as well as avoiding contamination of water sources.
- JohnFen 3y agoIt's because of the risk of contaminating the waters (with human waste like urine, food waste, etc.) Also, if you camp near a water source, you may be unknowingly denying the local wildlife from accessing it.
