I disagree... Its enjoying nature. Its putting your phone down and breathing, just being. Its no TV, no phone, no distractions. Fires, blankets, mountains and crisp air. Sometimes its endless conversations and sometimes its sitting in silence while listening to the creatures chirp.
***Although by the end of the camping trip im looking, smelling, and feeling pretty homeless 😬
i think its just what you make of it.
some people like backpacking and and being away from everyone else with the wind blowing in the trees at night.
some people like glamping/car camping and having a roaring fire and friends around.
some people don't like either, but that just means they enjoy other things instead.
basically if you want to like it you will i guess.
plus one time i was out in the woods and recording wood knocking noises off in the distance.
and im not necessarily saying i believe in bigfoot, but maybe bigfoot believes in me at least.
camping?
sleeping on the ground? under a filthy canvas tarp ?
insects everywhere
what if it rains?
it can get cold... or hot
you have to cook your own food? over a fire? barbaric.
and the worst of it..... no maid service.

I dunno man, the right person or not....
The last time I went camping, the nearest Starbucks was almost 20 minutes away.
and the campground had (and this is even difficult to type).... a gravel road.
Do you have any idea what gravel does to a pair of Ferragamo's ? (it's criminal.)4 -

well all i can say is just maybe try it again next time you get the chance.
go by yourself sometime if you have to and learn what works and doesn't work for you, with no expectations of other people around to cloud your judgement. maybe you'll end up enjoying it more.
then find you a girl to go along with you sometime
embrace your inner caveman
chop some firewood in front of her and get a fire going
watch her dance in front of it when the sun goes down6 -

the worst is when there aren't any bathrooms around, like not even a compost toilet.
gotta go dig the hole right after you set up camp so its there when you need it in the middle of the night3 -

So, like, what about sleeping in a yurt for a couple of days where I'm guaranteed zero creepy bat or scary elk sightings but will 100% catch the Northern Lights? And one of us has to bring the moka pot for our morning, pre-hike espresso
That's something I'm up for; like somewhere in the middle. Who's in?3 -

if you ever go camping in Texas, try to go to Caprock Canyons.
bison live there and they get to roam free.
so if you go out in the backcountry you might get the opportunity for them to wake you up by walking through your camp in the morning.Motorsheen wrote: »

😐 To all this. Your idea of camping is a liability to my existence. I'm scared by elk (and NO ONE can convince me those things are herbivores until they too are trapped in a group of them in the Rockies), and then now you want bison to just roam into my space. The absolute nerve of you.
Also, my tooter refuses the random hole in the earth as well. It works in accordance with the W*P. 🤷🏾♀️2 -

bison are pretty smart though, they'll stay away from you if you stay away from them. some lady got gored by one in yellowstone a while back, but then again she was trying to take photos of it and she was like 10 feet away or so. can't really blame the bison at that point.the babies are cute tho
but i guess if all that's roughing it too much you can always try this place-

Camping is a ghetto sport and should be renamed: Homeless Lite
I disagree... Its enjoying nature. Its putting your phone down and breathing, just being. Its no TV, no phone, no distractions. Fires, blankets, mountains and crisp air. Sometimes its endless conversations and sometimes its sitting in silence while listening to the creatures chirp.
***Although by the end of the camping trip im looking, smelling, and feeling pretty homeless 😬
i think its just what you make of it.
some people like backpacking and and being away from everyone else with the wind blowing in the trees at night.
some people like glamping/car camping and having a roaring fire and friends around.
some people don't like either, but that just means they enjoy other things instead.
basically if you want to like it you will i guess.
plus one time i was out in the woods and recording wood knocking noises off in the distance.
and im not necessarily saying i believe in bigfoot, but maybe bigfoot believes in me at least.
camping?
sleeping on the ground? under a filthy canvas tarp ?
insects everywhere
what if it rains?
it can get cold... or hot
you have to cook your own food? over a fire? barbaric.
and the worst of it..... no maid service.
Well, some of bring some supplies that keep us comfy. A gas propane stove...helps to make a fresh cup of coffee and pancakes in the morning. Fire is for sitting around and marshmallows
So, like, what about sleeping in a yurt for a couple of days where I'm guaranteed zero creepy bat or scary elk sightings but will 100% catch the Northern Lights? And one of us has to bring the moka pot for our morning, pre-hike espresso
That's something I'm up for; like somewhere in the middle. Who's in?
if you ever go camping in Texas, try to go to Caprock Canyons.
bison live there and they get to roam free.
so if you go out in the backcountry you might get the opportunity for them to wake you up by walking through your camp in the morning.Motorsheen wrote: »

😐 To all this. Your idea of camping is a liability to my existence. I'm scared by elk (and NO ONE can convince me those things are herbivores until they too are trapped in a group of them in the Rockies), and then now you want bison to just roam into my space. The absolute nerve of you.
Also, my tooter refuses the random hole in the earth as well. It works in accordance with the W*P. 🤷🏾♀️
bison are pretty smart though, they'll stay away from you if you stay away from them. some lady got gored by one in yellowstone a while back, but then again she was trying to take photos of it and she was like 10 feet away or so. can't really blame the bison at that point.the babies are cute tho
but i guess if all that's roughing it too much you can always try this place-

i recommend the lofthaven
I do want to try tree house so very badly3 -
i just like camping bc it’s a challenge to live with so much less and it feels different
someday i want to get to the point where me and my kids can go backpacking and get packs that are light enough to hike in a few miles, and be confident we could stay out there for a few days
like there are pretty parts of it, lots of stars at night and swimming in springs and campfires, but the best part is feeling like i really don’t need or miss anything thats not there, all other parts of life are just gone, it’s like getting clean from all that *kitten* that bogs u down and u dont even realize it6
