True dat.

My sister considers herself a hard-core camper, as long as there's a toilet and showers nearby. Ha !

I'm going camping august on Lac Poisson Blanc and invited her to come along, she asked isn't that the lake where you tipped your canoe in rough weather in the middle of the lake ?

Yeah

No thanks. lol

I love camping.... in a tent.
I think the only concession when my bones start to ache will be a trailer-tent.

Don't bring any "device" including a cell phone and the only radio I have is the one in the car.
I don't even own a GPS.
No electricity and the coffee is made in a tin percolator.

I'll stay home..

I have "camped" in a travel trailer for years, with 2 toddlers in diapers, in heatwaves in France and Spain. I'll pass. Never again. I prefer a cottage with my own toilet, my own shower, and a goddamned stove that I can cook a decent meal on.
And of course a coffee machine, a decent bed and a good fridge... And a cleaning lady.

Utterly ridiculous. As an avid camper at provincial parks, I think this sucks. The only piece of technology I take camping is my cel for emergenices, and that even stays in the car. Otherwise, the campfire, my comfy folding chair, and sometimes a book is all I need.

If anything else is needed (minus camp cookware), then what is the point exactly?

Bah.

So just because you "avid campers" won't (want to) use it, no one can?


Bring out the beer and the knives, and have a KICK ASS party!

I think we can all agree people that camp and enjoy it like the outdoors. It's just that some people need certain things in order to being comfortable so that they can actually enjoy it.

I.E. Alot of people for some reason need at least an out house. Personally I don't see the difference between that and hanging my ass over a fallen log, tucking my lads in and taking care of business. But to each their own.

My only beef with campers is that alot of them still leave their garbage behind. Nothing pisses me more than coming to a great site that I know about to find trash all over the place because the first thing I have to do is break out a garbage bag and bring back the shit they left behind with me. Before I even set up camp.

Speaking of camping, I'm picking up one of these tomorrow.

I DID the tent thing when I was younger. I also did the 24ft travel trailer thing when I was MWC.
Forgive me now if I'd rather be in the spot the tent used to go in, in the truck-bed on a foamy up off the cold ground. With a tarp stretched over the frame to keep the rain out.
I'll use the outhouse and the picnic table and the firepit. But the Netbook will probably be in the glovebox too.

Mt wife has been given the opportunity to keep her job even after we move 3000 niles away. She will be given the choice to work at home on a computer. or - on ocassion - work at our RV on a computer. When she chooses the later, I will not disagree with her.

I was a tent man all the way until I had my back broken. Now, a trailer or RV with a/c is all I need when I go camping. I don't even bother with the stove to cook.
Open fire cooking is one of my favourite things about camping. Ok fine, I like playing with fire too
Besides the a/c in the trailer, I can honestly say, the only "modern" convenience I ever took camping was a BiC lighter, and that was to light my joints

[ASLplease]

lol a sleeping bag behind the bench seat of my truck was all i ever needed, but I've grown soft.

Went on a service call to a lodge here. Guests were being 'knocked off' the internet.
Eight guys with computers all in one room all trying to get on at the same time.
Had to tell them; gee it just doesn't work for that, no goddam way and never will. By the way there's a lake across the street, a boat launch and the lodge supplies kayaks and canoes.....
