What are you camping in this year?

[pushbutton]

Jr and I are in a tent this year for the first time, after 6 years in a 29 footer. He is having blast. Me....kind of miss the couch, stove, fridge, microwave, flush toilet, and shower ......REALLY miss the roof top air Don't miss the gas and matainence bill of lugging that big pig around though, and now a lot easier to actually "get away from it all". Hear ya on the hard ground, Comit.....never leave home without the cot

Alcoholic's don't need RVs, they need alcohol!!!

Ask yourself, is Floatright park at Apple river a camping area or a party spot. Do you cook food at the camping area or make a run to town. Do you cook in doors or outside. Are you getting away or taking it with you. Do you need new skills. Is the main objective outdoors. Does a Boy Scout manual apply to anything you are doing. Are you really camping? Is renting a cabin camping? Is staying at a hotel near a park camping? Is sleeping next to the tracks waiting for a train camping? Is going into the Chippewa Natiol Forest to a remote lake camping?

Sorry I can't answer for you.

I was trying to to down play the drug thing, but if we must.

How about working your way up Cheyenne Mountain or Pikes Peak and burning a big fat one full of Northern Lights and watching the world go by down in Colorado Springs. Much, much better in a tent!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how do things look from up on your lofty perch

Getting as heated as the trout forum stocker/ spin gear/ live bait debates Lots of positives and negatives to both, and speaking of having a cold one while "camping"....will have a beer or five with either one of ya ..... no matter how you roll

It ain't camping unless at least four hours everyday are spent either fishing or hunting

I don't care if you're in a 6 oz. back pack tent or in a $200,000 motorhome........... rules are rules.......

We "camp" two different ways.

Usually we are in the Yetti fish house up north, works awesome but some a/c would be nice

Otherwise we can be found in a tent on the river at a remote site, or at a campground on a good fishing lake.

This spring I bought a new Coleman Instant six man Cabin. So far I am loving the speed of set up and take down. It is somewhat similar to a hub hunting blind. I've only had it out three times this year, but very impressed so far!

A campground.

I'm camping in both a tent and a fishhouse. But we usually call the fishhouse "the cabin" because it impresses the neighbors.

Have my little 6.5x12 Yetti setup to sleep 3 comfortably with a deck, grill, and mini fridge. Haven't had to stick the window AC in yet this year, but it's in there if we ever are out for a few hot days. Since I took the wheels/tongue off it, it must be real camping.

Have also slept in the back of the truck a few times, but it's usually when we already have 3 people in the shack.

[B-man715]

What is that called and how much did it cost???

[Duffman]

Solo Winter Tent (two person)

Solo Three Season Tent (two person)

Family Tent with Cots (four person)

Like I stated in my original post, I sold our 5th wheel camper this spring but we still want to continue to go camping from time to time. A couple of weeks ago I picked up this little pop up camper for $600. There's a little work to do to get it into camping shape but overall it's in pretty good condition for the money. I have tested the fridge and that works so that's a good bonus but I have yet to test the furnace.

[LindellProStaf]

Nice.

[delcecchi]

This is what I camp in...

Just picked up a 2006 Starcraft pop up with a slideout!! 3 years ago we had a small pop up, then tried the big travel trailer, (couldn't STAND dragging that around) and now back to a pop up! Felt great towing it down the freeway at 70 and still getting 14 MPG. I must be getting old, tired of spending money and towing heaving things.

That's pretty much right where I'm at also.

Wife didn't like my pop-up camper idea so I got rid of it and bought another RV. It's a 2001 Wildwood light 26'. Took it out twice so far this year, just got back from Itasca State Park. I don't know or care if any of you call it camping or not but I call it FUN!

[Boar]

Does this count as camping? We only turn the AC on if it's in the 80's!
