Poll: Do you like Camping?

[YarnBarf]

I love camping and hiking, but going with a whole class full of high schoolers sounds like a nightmare.

Guess you could call me spoiled with having a nice house and bed that I rather could care less bout camping, unless it would be incredibly far away. I live in Louisiana so the camping here can go hang itself with the mosquitoes.

Camping is only fun when the conditions are just perfect. If its too buggy, rainy, windy, etc. it sucks a lot of the fun out of the experience. The greatest are those tranquil nights, no wind and cool enough to not be too cold. Toss a frisbee around during the day, grill in the evening, chill by the docks at dusk if there's a lake, and look up at the stars at night...

Also drinking helps ALOT LOLZZZZ

Camping is awesome.

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

I completely agree- roughing it is true camping and the best kind, I especially love overland hikes through wilderness areas (the ones that take several days- a week to complete), time money and lack of willing friends are the only things preventing me from going all the time.

alas, if only you could get a date with wolf-girl

I dislike camping.
Mostly because I cannot sleep in a tent to save my life.
I always throw up. Always.

That said, I don't object to hanging out with people in a "campground" as long as they don't mind me sleeping in the car.

YES!

It is the BEST thing you can do. Outside under the open skies, listening to the crickets and watching the bats. The smell of nature and all.

We should organise an Escapist camping trip. Anyone from the UK up for that?

Omg that almost makes me want to go lol. That sounds awesome. But then I remember that I hate being hot and dirty.

^lol that sounded wrong

I've done a lot of camping as a kid and I liked it. I like being outside all day and being away from everyday comforts and media has a certain attraction.

hahhahahaa, I dunno, being butt-naked in snow seems like a good recipe for frost bite

Bring it to Australia and I'd be up for it, most of the country is still wilderness here so its for real- deadly snakes, giant spiders and all

What exactly about sleeping in a tent makes you vomit? Just asking because I've never heard of someone vomiting from sleeping in a tent before.

I have no idea. We've proposed that perhaps it's the lack of support for my upper torso (if your heart is lower than your stomach, bile will have a distressing tendency to rise up your esophagus) but that's just a theory. And not one supported by the evidence, I might add: it doesn't matter how supported I am in a tent, I still get nausea, so we have no idea as of this time.

I only like camping if theres girls involved.

 

[Nova5]

I like camping because I'm manly. A man's man. A man's man's man. I like being covered in dirt, motor oil, or the smell of cordite.

But seriously, man - camping's just a nice diversion. Get out of the urban jungle for a while, enjoy some fresh air.

Last time i woke up on a floating madres (is that spelled correct?)

 

[SonicKoala]

I detest camping - I enjoy being exposed to nature via hikes or something similar, but having to sleep there? Not for me.

 

[Amberella]

I love camping. I go camping every summer.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I like renting out cabins and fishing over the weekend, but I can't really stand anything else.
