What fun is it to take away the anxiety of camping? I want my spiders, snakes, bears and wet fire wood...and the inevitable....where are d@&% the matches?

A question was going around at a party (beer may have been involved) about how do you light a fire when all the firewood is wet...

Some answers were pretty funny. Involving flame throwers, WP, and other military solutions.

When the time came for my ex to answer, she said: "Call down to room service and demand dry firewood".

And so it goes. ;)

Been camping...glamping sounds just wonderful. Does it include sherpas too?

I love going camping. I have an 8 person tent. I’m not one who goes glamping. If I want that, I’d check into a Hilton.

When it comes to going primitive, all you really need is a sleeping bag and toilet paper.

And if you have to eliminate one of those, keep the toilet paper.

There. I've said it.

I still camp with the Scouts once or twice a year, but now, I insist on a cot, air mattress, and a tent tall enough to stand upright in.

Pricing begins at $1,135 per night for two adults with three meals a day, and reaches $1,620 per night for two adults in the highest-end tent with three meals a day.

No way in hell do we pay $1135 for that.

Took my wife tent camping only ONCE...it rained and her hair got WET!!! Now, if she goes camping, it’s at a nice motel that has to provide breakfast and cable TV...and the bed and chairs better be comfortable.

You’re not camping right unless it’s -40 and you’re in a snow cave above the Arctic circle.

$39.99 a night. Plus tax.

They even throw in a few bugs. Glam enough for me. :-)

If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

I've wanted a yurt for years, but doubt I'll ever bother with one. The last time I looked at them was about 10 years ago, and they were about 5 or 6 times the cost of these, so I suspect there's a significant difference in terms of durability and particularly snow loading.
