- 0:01Speaker 1: Now eat sevent ten wars bet on the Street with
- 0:06Speaker 1: Natalie Migliori. Well, you've come back from the streets to
- 0:11Speaker 1: the suits about something. Maybe if you were a member
- 0:15Speaker 1: of the four H Club growing up, you would have
- 0:18Speaker 1: thought about coin camping. But in a city park in
- 0:22Speaker 1: New York City.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about escaping the smelly puddles and the steaming sewers.
- 0:29Speaker 2: New Yorkers have a chance to connect with nature in
- 0:32Speaker 2: a new way, a different way. Sleeping in select city
- 0:36Speaker 2: parks a little different than laying out on a blanket
- 0:39Speaker 2: in Prospect Park or Central Park sheet meadow before packing
- 0:43Speaker 2: it in and heading back to our postage size apartments, right,
- 0:48Speaker 2: our postage stamp size apartments. But it's part of this
- 0:52Speaker 2: family friendly camping program with the city's Urban Park Ranger.
- 0:56Speaker 3: So of course the question is who's doing it.
- 1:00Speaker 4: No, for me, parks is like where I go and
- 1:03Speaker 4: take a walk there in my lunch break.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I can't imagine camping out of public park.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Maybe it's not exotic enough for me.
- 1:09Speaker 5: I hate camping, So the answer would be no, there's bugs,
- 1:14Speaker 5: the ground is rocky, try to sleep, there's critters.
- 1:17Speaker 6: I'd be too scared. I'd be scared I go to sleep,
- 1:20Speaker 6: I won't wake back up.
- 1:21Speaker 7: I mean I would, honestly. I know New York is
- 1:24Speaker 7: known for like the Adirondacks, so that especially, and I
- 1:29Speaker 7: often feel like I'm in.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Prospect Park a lot. So at that point I'm basically camping.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yes, during the day on a blanket, basically camping. Well,
- 1:39Speaker 2: Prospect Park is not on that list. The first overnight
- 1:42Speaker 2: camping expedition is happening this weekend at Salt Marsh Nature
- 1:46Speaker 2: Center in Brooklyn's Marine Park, not quite the Prospect. The
- 1:51Speaker 2: Parks Department says it provides the tents, it's just asking
- 1:54Speaker 2: everyone to bring their own sleeping bag or betting and
- 1:58Speaker 2: Central Park is also one of the locations where families
- 2:02Speaker 2: can camp out for the night. So between ghost stories
- 2:05Speaker 2: and s'mores. Will people clean up after themselves?
- 2:09Speaker 6: You know some will and some won't, because that's everywhere
- 2:12Speaker 6: you go, so but I think the majority to the
- 2:15Speaker 6: people probably won't.
- 2:16Speaker 3: People they're pigs.
- 2:17Speaker 5: If you can get people clean up after themselves, I
- 2:19Speaker 5: think it'd be a great idea. I think it'd be
- 2:20Speaker 5: a great bonding experience for the kids.
- 2:22Speaker 3: And it is. It is different.
- 2:23Speaker 5: It's a different lifestyle than living in an apartment or
- 2:26Speaker 5: a house or whatever.
- 2:27Speaker 7: That's the thing with New York City. People have a
- 2:29Speaker 7: hard time picking up after themselves. We've seen the parades,
- 2:33Speaker 7: We've seen the World Cup, We've seen kind of everything.
- 2:37Speaker 7: How New York City gets down. So I wouldn't be
- 2:40Speaker 7: surprised if if they don't clean it up.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Yeah, gets down In the parks.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Question, since I am a kind of sure of shitty parks,
- 2:48Speaker 1: what's the first one you set his schedule? What's his Friday?
- 2:52Speaker 3: Marine Park?
- 2:53Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 2:53Speaker 1: What are they gonna do about the mosquitoes? They come
- 2:55Speaker 1: out of the Bay Area and the marshlands, isn't I huh.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Well, there's no Nobody seems to be so concerned about
- 3:04Speaker 2: the nature that actually is in New York City's parks.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I think people.
- 3:08Speaker 2: It seems that people think that they're in the city,
- 3:11Speaker 2: so nature doesn't necessarily exist within those parks. But I
- 3:14Speaker 2: got to tell you, there are at least five hundred
- 3:17Speaker 2: and seventy one species living in Central Park alone, and
- 3:21Speaker 2: that's not including the people. So would New Yorkers just
- 3:25Speaker 2: be a little spooked to sleep there?
- 3:28Speaker 7: I would because it's constantly raining, so I would expect
- 3:32Speaker 7: that thunders starting to hit me at two am in
- 3:34Speaker 7: the morning and just wash everything away. I don't think
- 3:36Speaker 7: anyone would try to, like, you know, bergalize my things.
- 3:39Speaker 7: But it's always good to like keep my head on
- 3:41Speaker 7: a swoowolf.
- 3:42Speaker 8: The amount of ret infestation that is in these parts
- 3:46Speaker 8: is next level. Now, if they're okay with getting run
- 3:49Speaker 8: over by ras and bitten and probably getting you know,
- 3:52Speaker 8: having Tanita touch this shot after the next day, very
- 3:56Speaker 8: pretty on the outside. But I would never recommend anyone
- 3:59Speaker 8: to sleep in these parks. I don't know who comes
- 4:02Speaker 8: up with these ideas and makes no sense.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Yeah, some nature boy or nature girl in the parks
- 4:07Speaker 1: of bar U. Forget the rats. She's absolutely right. Raccoons. Yeah.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I went up to Bearmont bear Mountain one time with
- 4:16Speaker 1: my buddies on my English race, so we were all
- 4:18Speaker 1: on bicycles, We had our food in our backpacks. We
- 4:22Speaker 1: forgot about the raccoons. When we woke up in the morning,
- 4:25Speaker 1: the raccoons were eating our sandwiches and staring at us
- 4:29Speaker 1: like this is our turf?
- 4:30Speaker 3: You could an uber eat something.
- 4:33Speaker 1: No, And by the way, there are raccoons in every
- 4:37Speaker 1: park in the city in New York.
- 4:39Speaker 2: See now, if you're camping out in New York City
- 4:41Speaker 2: and a raccoon comes to eat your food. At least
- 4:44Speaker 2: you're close enough where deliver Resa could pull right up
- 4:47Speaker 2: right and bring you some food. But look, a park
- 4:50Speaker 2: ranger is supposed to be with campers the whole time,
- 4:54Speaker 2: so maybe cleanliness isn't.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Going to be exact. You know, No, that's what I
- 4:58Speaker 3: was gonna say.
- 4:58Speaker 4: The urban park rangers are going to be pitching a
- 5:01Speaker 4: tent next to you there. Well, you don't think they're
- 5:04Speaker 4: going to Well, this is what you say. Yeah, they
- 5:07Speaker 4: have to give you bathroom access too. They're giving you
- 5:10Speaker 4: bathroom maxes and they're there.
- 5:12Speaker 3: This is why we can't have nice things. It's everything
- 5:16Speaker 3: is bad.
- 5:17Speaker 7: You notice that.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Because the bathrooms are going to be locked overnight, absolutely
- 5:21Speaker 3: absolutely no everything everything. Apparently there's gonna be rats. There's
- 5:25Speaker 3: gonna be raccoon the bathroom. Tell us, would you go?
- 5:28Speaker 7: No?
- 5:28Speaker 3: Way? So there you go?
- 5:30Speaker 1: No, because I'm an urban guy, and this is they're
- 5:33Speaker 1: trying to make country folk out of people that grew
- 5:36Speaker 1: up in the city.
- 5:36Speaker 3: It ain't gonna happen, but this.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Is camping light. I mean no, I know my limits,
- 5:42Speaker 4: my limits. I can't like this in a girls scot
- 5:46Speaker 4: You're not going to do this.
- 5:47Speaker 3: You wouldn't do this, all right?
- 5:48Speaker 4: I camp downund me, excuse me?
- 5:52Speaker 3: The boys get together on this.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Me and how about the both of you? Natalie putting
- 5:56Speaker 1: up a poop tent in Central Park camping.
- 6:00Speaker 3: I keep saying I know my limits. Oh so you're
- 6:03Speaker 3: not going to do it either. I know my limits.
- 6:05Speaker 3: My gosh, I'm all alone, but I'm not going to
- 6:07Speaker 3: do it either.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I will doing it.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You're the big outdoorsman. Get her her sleeping bag. We
- 6:13Speaker 3: should sign you up. We should all go. I won't
- 6:17Speaker 3: sleep that night.
- 6:18Speaker 4: I could take twenty like ten year old girls to
- 6:22Speaker 4: a camp out and I did it.
- 6:24Speaker 3: For a weekend. I could do this.
- 6:25Speaker 1: That doesn't count.
- 6:26Speaker 3: We're the park ranger.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Next to me.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I'm going to ask Tom Cuddy if we can assign
