Wouldn't get away with that headline in the US. As to G. A. Cohen even used camping as an analogy for why socialism is still the ideal way to organise society., maybe, we can all be socialists on vacation and take an all inclusive cruse. With no add ons. Or similar resort. And let the capitalists make money.
Good Lord. What is this wuss gonna do when the whole world goes Mad Max?
The outdoors would be great if it weren’t for all that damn nature out there!
I concluded years ago that “Having to put on shoes to get to the ice machine” is about as ‘roughing it’ as I care to get....
;)
I guess there’s some point in there somewhere that pulls the title together with the content of the piece. But damned if I know what it is.
For many, camping is the only way to afford a vacation.
Knife, firestarter, meds. I'm ready to camp!
A guy from a brown country full of blowing sand and devoid of infrastructure wrote this...?
Ping me please. We love camping...
Camping is fun.
Especially since the one I went to had an open Wi-Fi signal, running water, electrical hook-up and a great shower/restroom facility, and is next to lake Michigan.
It was more of an outdoor hotel.
The author is a complete pansy.
Seems a bit sensitive, doesn’t he. Any non-white in a majority white country has been alone many (without ethnic-mates), many, many times. No doubt the same in reverse, for whites in South Africa now.
“For many people from ethnic backgrounds, particularly Asian or Mediterranean, the connection between simple living and poverty is just too strong.”
We have that problem with some segments of society here, too. A pair of Air Jordans or a 52” flat screen means you’re successful - even when your living off the backs of others.
You can keep the sneakers and the TV - I’m pretty tickled to be part of this Great thing that God created.
Call BS on this guy(gal) unless there just wasn’t any other “colors” that one time. We go camping a LOT and there a blacks and hispanics every single time. In fact, sometimes you can’t get a spot unless you can get in during the week (we can being retired) for the hispanics. Nice people too. Love to camp, swim & fish.
This is what we call “car camping”. Sorry, but it isn’t camping. Driving your car to the mountains to set up a tent in a parking lot is silly.
Need to the tent and gear into a back pack and hike to a camp spot. That is camping.
My idea of roughing it is a 10 year old Holiday Inn.
Personally, I like a comfortable bed, room service and not having to hide behind a tree to do muh bidness. And no bugs. I don’t like bugs. Oh, and I like tv. And a cold beer. And ice. And doors. And locks. And heat and air conditioning. And a bar. I do like a bar. With good bar food.
Nope. Not gonna go camping any time soon.
After getting married 4 years ago, camping ended. My wife’s idea of roughing it is Holiday Inn.
