Revisiting the so-called "Outdoor Industry vs Oil and Gas Industry" Debacle
"Outhouse" magazine, classic.
Great in depth detailed article, inspiring.
We LOVE the Disneyland analogy….
In Rutkow's excellent book American Canopy he talks about how Henry Ford explicitly promoted car camping: https://www.amazon.com/American-Canopy-Forests-Making-Nation/dp/1439193584/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2345F9KC3L32P&keywords=american+canopy+book&qid=1675687050&sprefix=american+canopy%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-1
