Do you like to go camping?

[Thula]

No.
'Roughing it' is a half-hour without electricity . . .

 

[ShadowCat]

No - I hate camping. That is why I have a place in the mountains as a weekend retreat.

Really how secluded? Are we talking as soon as you get to the driveway you can drop trou and have a nude weekend?

 

[ShadowCat]

Since my days in the army when I had to stay outside in a tent in winter at -28° Celsius (-18 F)
for 1 week
I swore to myself
never ever
to go camping again.​

Id go AWOL! FUCK THE FUCK OUTTA THAT!

 

[72-Jay]

Yeah occasionally I like to go camping (in summer only).
Getting away from the city noise/light is nice, view of stars at night up in the mountains is awesome (where at home with light from a nearby large city there is very little to see). Plus nice clean air up there compared to what it sometimes gets like with that from the city.
But there's the fact that I don't sleep well at all not being in my bed.

When I do go its with family members, and on private land. We do seep in tents too..
It would honestly be nice to have a cabin (obviously that wouldn't be camping, but it'd still be a nice mountain weekend getaway) so my old worn-out self would have a better place to sleep.
I could certainly never afford one (or even land to put it on).

I do own a sleeping bag and a brand new family size tent still in the unopened carrier in came in (the tent) that I bought 15 to 20 years ago. But these days, I call roughing it, staying in a Motel 6 rather than a mid-range rated hotel.

I would rather sleep in a tent on the ground than a Motel 6 these days...

I've stayed in my fair share of Motel 6's or the budget end of the Choice group. It's been fine as a rule, as I usually ask to see a room before committing.

There have been a few times when the need to stop trumped the ability to stay on the road to reach a major town with choices, and those shameful motels and cafes have been the worst. I think that has been true for as long as humans have been travelling and staying in inns.

fucked in a sleeping bag best part of camping trip

Gosh, you don't have to go camping for that. I've known several guys, only some of who were college kids, who slept in sleeping bags to avoid making a bed.

Yeah, hard to imagine it going into the laundry as often as linens, huh?

I guess that could be dirty sex.

 

[lockeroomguy]

I have never gone camping, and I doubt I ever will. I'm very particular about personal hygiene, and suspect it would be hard to maintain proper cleanliness in a camping environment. I also hate the cold, and couldn't imagine waking up in a 50 something degree tent.

Not that secluded - but I can be nude on the patio out back without much of an issue.

Got a hot tub?

 

[biguy732]

Got a hot tub?

Yep. Love it in the winter with the snow coming down and sitting there with a glass of wine.

Need to find a group of std/hiv neg men all with tests in the last week! NAKED LONG WEEKEND! Everything naked! No doors, no condoms, no shame!

 

[Charon]

Sometimes.

 

[me203]

As for Motel 6, I don't stay at them. They are just too classy for me.

Actually, I don't stay in any motel, due to my $0 travel budget.

I wonder, though, if a lot doesn't depend on the location. I speculate that a small, peaceful city along the Interstate will be different than the middle of a big, terrible city.

This American corporation is begging you to go camping.

Yep, I like that too. I did it once many years ago while it was snowing. Just a few steps from the back door of my brother's house. I wasn't nude though.

 

[TickTockMan]

I love it when it is pouring rain. Makes a great sound and sight.

No doors? No way.

I insist that there be doors on the lavatories, even if there are no doors on the shower rooms.

And I insist that there be doors on the bedrooms so that a guy can sleep in peace when he wants to sleep in peace.
(And, for that matter, so that guys who wish to have sex by themselves can do that without having to fend off other people who want to take part uninvited.)

So vanilla!
