My idea of roughing it is 4 star instead of 5 star hotels :)
The closest I get to nature is passing the tree on the way to my car.

Mrs. L and I used to tent camp. But our days of sleeping on the ground are looooong over. Now camping means we rent an RV with AC, a flush toilet, and a shower. Lately we’ve been getting cabins at State Parks. Same deal. We can enjoy nature, fish for a while, and then repair to four walls and a well made cocktail or cold beer.
Just because we camp doesn’t mean we are barbarians.

Same here in regard to hotels. “Roughing it” is no complimentary robe.
My idea of ‘wilderness camping’ is an RV
When I was in grade school my dad owned a little property in the Blue Ridge Mountains. You got there on a gravel road in the woods.
We carried our water in 5 gallon jerry cans and dug our latrines. Every time we went we hand to clear our camping area with machetes.
Them days are gone forever.
I had NO IDEA that Mrs. POF was here on FR writing under the pseudonym "dp0622."
When hubby and I met he was huge into the outdoors. Mountain climbing, hiking, camping, etc. He’d take off by himself with nothing but a backpack and stay out in the woods for a week at a time. I firmly told him my idea of camping was a hotel with no room service. lol He still did his thing and I happily stayed home.
I'm reminded of the seen in the movie "Crocodile Dundee", where she takes him to the fancy hotel in New York and he says "Well, it's a little rough, but I'll manage." :)

You and my wife might be related.
When I turned 65, I started agreeing with her.
I once stayed at a friends house/cabin in the woods, and had only cheap, single-ply toilet paper. It was awful!
That tree might get you yet. Be careful.
