No, because I don't like all the hard work of putting up the tent, washing all the dirty things, going outside the tent to the toliet when somebody is sharing with me.

It's awesome. I love getting back to nature, and how when the sun sets there's only dim firelight so you get sleepy and then in the morning you wake up when it starts getting light, so I feel more in tune with things. It's fun how things are a bit rough, I think people are so pampered these days that we've forgotten what life's really about. It's fun cooking over the fire and there's a sense of community all sitting around together and exploring together. I like how there aren't the million distractions there are at home, like computers and other hobbies, so people can't disappear off by themselves for hours, you're forced to spend quality time with your friends and family.

I don't like having an uncomfy bed. Our airbed always seems to get a hole and I end up sleeping on lumpy dirt and tree roots which is horrible. Bugs getting in the tent isn't nice. I don't like feeling like I need a wash either, which is probably the biggest killer for me. That and not having a good private toilet area set up. But I can put up with that stuff for the positives.

no. I cant sleep on the ground due to back injurys

 I am living it right now, and have been for the past 11 months.  However, it is not a tent, it is a potential home, with a tin roof.  I am in the Philippines, on an island, and moved here last December.  Nothing has been done to the existing structure since I arrived, for a number of reasons.  First, the weather is so fine, between 82 and 86 degrees year round, and, second, the filipino life is outside, not indoors.

Have there been problems, absolutely, the first week a snake appeared on the fridge (yes, there is electricity, two plugs).  A few months later there was a visit from a 10 foot articulated constrictor on the front steps.  Electrical outages occur several times a week sometimes.  Heavy thunderstorms (amazing how loud it is under the tin roof), rampaging mosquitoes (have found a perfect remedy for them), and a foreign language interfere with the normal life.

Soon I will be taking on a 'normal' weekend home, which I may end up staying full time.  It is a 2 story, the ground floor being concrete block and the second floor being bamboo and nepa (fern-like leaves).  The ground floor is concrete due to it being directly on the ocean, with the waves crashing against a concrete wall 5 feet from the building.  The porch on the second story hangs over the 5 feet, so there is nothing between me and the crashing ocean.

Expenses for a single person runs around $400 per month, but that doesn't include steaks every day.

God I love it here.

I like camping..

I've been going camping with my family since I can remember..

My Grandpa always took my dad and nucle's out camping and fishing at a few lakes arund the area we live.

When I turned 8 I remember my dad took me into their "secret lake"  Not many people know about it. It's a place for us guys to get away to. It was the place I first really got into fisihng.. and drinking =p

Over the years, we've gone with my uncle's family and my singe uncle. We've gone on probably more than 250 camping trips.

Sadly, I'm getting older, so is my dad, and my other family members, and we do less of it now..

But it still holds a special place in my heart.

it's a place to bike, quad, fish, meet friends, meet girls, see family, party, everything and more (:

 NO!! Too many bugs! Yuk!  I don´t like the country side at all if it´s for more than a couple of hours!! Give me the beautiful sea side!!!

no ! i like my creature comfits

YEs i love going camping, Why nothing better than watching the sunset and sunrise making love.

 I LOVE CAMPING!

Yes.  Very at home in the wild.   Grew up in the country and I love the solitude and being away from people and the stupid things they do.  I also prefer pictures of nature sans people.  Bugs and snakes are easier to get along with and you don't have to worry if they're psycho bugs or snakes. 

I especially love being in a tent under a sleeping bag with my husband when it's raining and chilly outside!

 Camping is great, at least if you have a five star hotel near to go to when you get bored!

Absolutely enjoy it!  It's a bit more dangerous now than before with the bears and cougars losing their habitat.  We just have to be a LOT more careful where we set up.

I must love it.....I did it two years straight.......With all of the things that are out there on the market now days.....You do not lose that many things....

Portable DVD....TV....drip coffee maker....propane crock pot...oven....lights...and even a ceiling fan for the tent...Shower....hot water heater...pottie....

YOu can live on the streets if you had to......I did

And no one at work ever knew

Yes, I love to camp!  It is so peaceful, sunrise, sunsets, camp fires, smores, the air seems cleaner, simple pleasures, beauty of nature; I could go on and on. 

HOWEVER.........I do need running water of some sort.   A clear flowing stream is fine.  I'm a girly girl and have been know to bathe and wash my hair in a river.  Just because you are camping doesn't mean you have to be stinky and or dirty! =)

No camping for me.Not interested in trying to fall asleep and hearing frogs and animals I can't name and no walls to hide behind  

I don't sleep on the ground outside. I don't do outdoor bathroom breaks. Ticks, mosquitoes, and no-see-ums, don't EVEN get me started.

However, I am perfectly at home in a king-sized bed with a mirror on the ceiling and an over-sized jacuzzi tub. Room service is NOT optional.

i went camping once, and it was terrible.  my sleeping bag got soaked because of the dew on the ground, and i nearly froze to death that night.  my husband snored so loud, i asked him to sleep in the car.  i had to pee twice in the night, and i had to walk in the dark through rocks and bushes so i could pee in private.  i'd swear there was a cold nose that touched my butt.  i was sure a bear would carry me away and eat me after it mauled me.  the next morning i was itchy and crabby, also hungry.  campfire pancakes suck, and so does powdered milk.  i was dirty and sticky for the longest 24 hours in my life.  NEVER AGAIN!!

I've never been camping ever

My daddy used to take us camping. We all enjoyed being close to each other in the tent, talking besides the camp fire, cooking with the gas torch and wandering around in nature. These family memories are very precious.

When my dad passed away, we stopped camping. It was not the same without him around. I plan to restart though. Having kids of my own, I would like them to savor the same experiences and remember me in the future, as I remember my daddy.
