[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As modern culture is more and more screen centric and we're nonstop attached to technology and indoors... it's nice to get out and get unhooked.

Also, tied with kayaking or hiking, it's exercise and I've heard some people enjoy that.

It's definitely something that people with money and time indulge in—I see a definite class divide... wealthy and educated like to get out and do stuff outdoors—the gear is fun to buy, the logistics fun to plan, and it requires time. People who don't have money, time or the wits tend to hate it.

But as I noted above, you see tons of immigrant families getting out, so I think it's also become a thing that people who have come here and had success are eager to get into.[/quote]

Ha, no, not really. Sure, some rich, educated people camp, but that’s not the main/exclusive audience. I grew up in a small southern town, and camping/hiking/fishing/hunting/swimming in the creek were very popular activities among people without much money or education. It doesn’t have to take much time— you can easily camp in a two-day weekend. All kinds of people enjoy the outdoors. [/quote]
