Poll: Do you like Camping?

[AMMO Kid]

Camping in Real Life = Yay
Camping in Video Games = Nay

I feel that the part of this video on camping was necessary.

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw this thread title.

Anyhoozle, I like it. The last time I went camping was also the most hardcore camping trip of my life. With several of my friends and their fathers, I climbed a mountain over 14,000 feet above sea level. Five days, 4 hours of sleep on average, exhausting hiking for three of those days, nothing but candy bars and trail mix to eat, and not a single shower the whole week. And it was cold. Really cold.

I think that, if Gaffigan here had to do that, he would just die, like, ten feet up the mountain.

Bacon!

And no, I hate camping.
Two reasons: bears and centipedes.
And centipedes.
And bears.

I actually really enjoy camping: my problem is with the people who think that the mixture of camping and technology is some kind of unholy sin that absolutely cannot happen. Not a single argument for that is valid, especially when I bring my laptop for the sole purpose of writing (something that I do unspeakably better on a keyboard than on paper). As long as I'm allowed to bring my technology with me, I really like camping.

I think it's more the idea that you bring a trailer with a satellite dish and watch tv or something akin to that. Writing, on a computer or whatever, is totally ok by me.

Yeah, but my family and the other people I usually camp with are pretty much camping purists. I bring my Gameboy while driving to the campsite and they get upset. Personally, I've found that even playing my DS is better in the outdoors, so I find that very little actually decreases the experience of camping, no matter how much technology is involved. Not that I make that a habit of that: I don't. Though, for the heck of it, I am probably the only person to play a song on Elite Beat Agents on the very peak of Mt. Lassen.

Yeah, I love racking up my kills in the corner of a room with a shotgun. But seriously, I do not like the real outdoor camping.

 

[TheTaco007]

Why is there no "sometimes" option?

 

[superbatranger]

I've never been camping, so I can't say. But I assume it would be at least a nice break from all that technology that runs our lives nowadays.

At the moment I am waking up in a 5-star hotel in Hyderabad, India. I was gently woken by a staff of three who arrived at my room with a tray of coffee and delicious pastries.

THIS is how it should be, and this is the opposite of camping. ;-)

Comfort == Good;
Camping == !Comfort;

if its with freinds, its fun, if it is with family, it sucks.

 

[SimuLord]

I only like camping if theres girls involved.

Bingo. Normally I hate camping and the outdoors, but there's this stunningly attractive woman friend of mine who, if she asked me to go camping with her, I'd readily accept. Wouldn't even have to have sex with her---she's just a great companion and having the great outdoors to just sit and chat over a scenic mountain view would be better than sex.

(mind you, if she wanted to have sex in the dirt, I'd be like "I'm Mike Rowe, and this is my job!")

 

[Sigel]

No...no. Hell no. Why the hell do I want to sleep on the lumpy ground in the elements with a bunch of critters and bugs? No thank you. I can think of better ways to spend my time.

 

[AMX58]

Camping sucks i fuckin hate it excuse my French but yeah only way i go camping is that if my girl wants to do it and there is water for well ya know

 

[KaiRai]

I love camping! I'd totally live like Bear Grylls for the rest of my life if need be. When I retire, I plan to build a cabin in Loch Ness and live there, using fish from the Loch as sustenance.

Worst case scenario, it's a hiliday home.

 

[Joeshmoe5]

its a legitament strategy

 

[Enigmers]

The extent of my camping experience is going to a friend's cottage, which happens once or twice every summer for about 3 or 4 days at a time. That's about all I can take, really.

 

[toadking07]

Camping is awesome.

As long as there is no running water and utilities-- roughing it is the way to go.

Amen! It's def a different experience, and so much more rewarding! Though it can be hard to get people to try it out at first!

 

[Reep]

I love camping, a few mates, campfire, the car for a seat, and lots of bourbon.

 

[gostchiken]

Love camping, HATE poison oak; which is why I try to only go caming at high altitudes. ASAPM
