    It depends where you GO camping.


    If you are going with me?  All you need is a hammock, and maybe there will be one already there.

    I'm into total hassel-free comfort.   You jump in water to bathe, you kill fish to eat, you cook with wood for fire, and you just chill man.

  • That kind of camping looks good to me,  yesss! I have a hammock in my back yard though ... and have river in my back yard . Someone's trying convince me go middle of woods where have to hang  food in bags in trees so don't get attacked by freakin bears. I see no enjoyment in that .

    No.  My 20's are over.  I'm not that adventurous, I like a shower and clean clothes for starters and a good night's sleep is always lovely.

  • My twenties are  over too :) I was way less into outdoors In  my twenties than in my 30's :) I was all about city and condo  life's back then :) I can see my 20 year old  self curling up in a ball and dying over having to spend hours mowing lawn at my house now :)

    I like camping. I'd prefer to have an RV or camper- access to a bathroom, some kind cushion to sleep on, something to keep creepy crawlies at bay... I tolorate tent camping in small doses, though. The fresh air, view of stars, campfire and campfire cooking. It's peaceful. I'm sure if I lived out in the country somewhere, I'd appreciate camping a lot less, but I'm stuck in the dirty dusty desert- in the city, no less. Blech.

    When I was in college, I liked camping in my backyard so I can enjoy the night sounds and be forced to study and plan research papers with no electronics to distract me.

    Me, my wife and another couple would often go tent camping at primitive campgrounds. We made our own fun.

    The fun and enjoyment is in having sex in a tent in the middle of the woods without another soul around. It's pretty f*cking awesome.  

    Okay, yes, I'll admit, sometimes there can be drawbacks to it.

    I prefer a camper. Bathroom, air conditioning, and a mattress.
