I've gone camping 3 times. First time was with a group of 13-14 people, so it was basically just moving into the woods with my college friends. I'm not sure it counted, I didn't need to move a finger, beyond acting as a porter to bring in the coolers. Second time, I went camping as my buddy's bachelor party. Again, it was a group event (though only 8 people this time). Again, people knew how to handle their poo poo, I didn't have to fend for myself at all. We went to a Yurt in a state park. Wasn't my house, therefor, camping. I'm hoping to work up the courage to say to my wife, "let's go camping" and back it up with action. My question for you guys: What drives you to go camping? I like nature, I like going out and not dealing with nonsense from my day-to-day, but I simply cannot prioritize this poo poo at all. Got any tips on how you guys find the time?

wesleywillis posted:Discomfort. Well, I sold the idea. We're going camping this weekend! Over night Manistee. I'm very excited. We're bringing the doggo, who's bound to go loving bonkers.  EDIT: All done. Doggo, in fact went bonkers. She was super put off by randos as they hiked the trail and didn't seem to be much at ease. We didn't prepare properly for the nighttime cold and got little sleep, but otherwise had a wonderful time. We've scheduled another camping trip in the next month too. poo poo yeah goons.

Steely Dad posted:Update: I took him to a KOA last night, after several rounds of equipment testing and dickery first. Went well, he had a blast, and now I want to get more ambitious. Turns out they didn’t allow fires in the tent area, so we roasted our marshmallows over a butane camp stove, which was fine by him, but now I need to hunt down an option that allows fires. Solid dad move. My parents never took me camping (both from large cities). Turns out, as an adult, now I feel like I'm constantly intruding or playing pretend. Takes some of the fun out of it, but luckily it's more fun than it's not.
