the "legal hobbies" thread led me to wonder how many people enjoy camping, and I did not find a dedicated thread to camping on the forum.
So, what is your camping interest/ involvement?
I grew up with camping and being in the outdoors as a second way of life. Our family vacations were always centered around camping somewhere in Michigan, Canada, or New England. It was roughing it...not glamping. Dad and grandpa were big into Boy Scouts, so I went through the whole Scouting thing too in the 70's and 80's.
I hiked part of the Appalachian Trail in the 90's with my sister and was into ultra-lite/back country camping as well.
Now, I am preparing to do some bike packing to scratch the ultra-lite itch, and on the complete opposite end, am planning on getting a tear drop camper to do some glamping since my wife likes the outdoors, but "will not poop in the woods". I never, ever thought I would be in a situation where we have electric in the campsite...having a hard time with that...but not really. just being in the woods is Zen to me
I prefer fall and winter camping - cold weather - to warm weather camping. Wife likes summer, so I go glamping in the summer with her, and legit camping in the cool with my mountain biking friends. Best places/most fav places for me have been in the middle of nowhere, Ontario Canada (100 miles northwest of Sudbury); Copper Harbor Michigan area; the Lake Placid area of NY...
Camping is also another activity that allows me to have GAS....
so lets hear it and see pics!!!
