    While you have shown the major flaw in my argument I still think camping stinks.

    I agree 100%.

    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.

    yes BUT there's still a lot of fun to be had in the woods if you have the right person with you

    You are most likely correct here. I'm never with the right people. Sigh....

    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.)

    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 night

    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.

    This works way better for me and resolves @iMago peeing in a hole in the middle of the night thing.

    that ain't what the hole is for just fyi

    😐 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. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    While you have shown the major flaw in my argument I still think camping stinks.

    I agree 100%.

    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.

    ETA: However, in this scenario, I'd still be concerned about @iMago's "pee in a hole in the middle of the night" thing. My W*P refuses.

    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

    yes BUT there's still a lot of fun to be had in the woods if you have the right person with you

    You are most likely correct here. I'm never with the right people. Sigh....

    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 down

    Jesus, can I go with you? You sure can paint a picture with words.....

    sure can, you just gotta carry the shovel

    OK ok I will carry the shovel. I just have anxiety from digging my own grave. I thought that's where we were going.

    PS: I'll cook

    no need. i always carry a jetboil, a fuel canister, a water filter and a bottle, and some ramen in ziploc baggies, we don't even have to eat with our hands cause you can just cut the corner off the baggie and pipe the ramen directly into your mouth. unless you wanna reuse the baggie i guess for packing out the used TP in which case we can go ahead and eat the ramen with our hands
