Flashlight Hiking Camping
What do you consider real camping?
Do you consider camping with an air mattress, stove, and occasionally a DVD player real camping.
I remember when I was little and we would my sister and I would hike with our dad for a few hours without seeing anyone else until we reached where we would set up camp. My dad would carry the tent and other heavy stuff while we carried lighter stuff. We didn't have electricity except for lanterns, flashlights, and a radio. We cooked fish we caught over fire (not a grill or stove) and brought marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers for, you guessed it, smores! If the weather was nice we would not even sleep inside the tent.
I don't think that renting a cabin with indoor plumbing and electricity and a couch and breakfast table is camping. I don't think an RV is either.
What do you consider real camping?
Any "camping" outside is real camping. Be it in the backyard with a young toddler for the first time. Or an old man in his worn out camper. I find it is the company I keep and how they experience what God has given us to enjoy that makes camping a real experience. I've "camped" on the roof top of a 24 story building overlooking a great park to watch falcons, with city boy teens. to sleep overs in grandpas back yard. I've been to the back country of many a wilderness area and each was as enjoyable as the first.
What a wonder the world is why waste it indoors.
