[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Camping is too much work. I would do it if someone else packed the car, set everything up, made all the food, cleaned and packed up. It’s not the nature that bothers me. It’s the work. [/quote]

Minimalize. I just take a cooler with some stuff, and maybe a skillet and blanket/tarp.

Tents are too much hassle for real camping, unless one is base camping for a week or more while hunting or something. For a weekend or overnight camping trip, just sleep on a blanket or in the back of a truck. [/quote]

Hahaha said like someone who isn't[b] bringing toddlers along. [/b]

It's SO much work. And so much stuff. We've started cheating and booking mini-cabins in state parks just to make it a little easier and prevent getting rained out or kids getting uncomfortably cold. [/quote]

Well that's just silly. Who in their right mind would bring toddlers camping??  :shock: [/quote]

People do it. Based on the stories I've heard, it results in disaster 95% of the time. [/quote]

We started camping with our oldest when he was 1.5 years old, and our younger child was 4 months old on her first camping trip. In a tent. They are much older now. It’s never been a disaster and has resulted in many happy family memories. They still love camping and can now help pack the gear, set up the tent, start the fire, etc. [/quote]

Sounds miserable![/quote]

YOU sound miserable! Another camping fam here, my kids love it and my oldest tells me he feels most “at home” in nature when we are all together out camping as a family. My youngest’s first camping trip was at 2 mos old. Yes, it’s a lot of work, some trips are better than others (weather, insects, all play a role) but well worth it each and every time.[/quote]
