We have friends who have invested thousands of $$$$$ in camping equipment, just so they can sleep in the rain and mud, walk three blocks to the bathroom, and so on.

My wife and I have always investing in camping adventures at $79 per night (either Holiday Inn or Courtyard), and you never have to rinse off the points or re-fold them when you get caught in the rain. Just a different life-style, I guess.

I did a great deal of serious backpacking when I was a Boy Scout, but as an adult I also found myself preferring to camp out in hotels (three-star minimum).
