Camping does not suck. I love to camp. Some of my best memories are from times when I have been out in the woods camping. I do not go camping to endure any unpleasantness I go to have fun and enjoy myself.

You, sir are correct. Just got back from five days in the mountains. It was wonderful.
Now the big question,,,
Is a bad camping trip, one that might be considered sucky, still better than a day at work?
If so how bad does it have to be to be worse than a day at work?
This is what I was thinking. It's all relative. Sleeping on the ground "sucks" more than sleeping on the perfect mattress in an air conditioned home, but I camp to relieve stress and connect with nature. Therefore, it does not suck overall, but it "sucks" relatively.Quote:

That sounds very interesting. Care to elaborate?Quote:

The second was something in a waterfall
In North Alabama. I like having my picture taken at the base of waterfalls, so I climbed over the big boulder field in the splash pond and got up on a big boulder where the water was hitting. A friend on the shore got the picture but, when I climbed down, I hyperflexed my knee. That woke something up in the fall and it didn't like it. There was a sudden blast of bitterly cold wind from the water. I was trying to keep from fainting from the pain but I knew that, if I didn't get off the boulder field, I was going to die. The wind was sucking all the heat out of me. So I started scrambling back toward the shore and flopped there. One of my companions asked if I was alright. I said, "no."
I got better. :)
Hag vampires in the woods are why I keep a 40 cal next to me in my tent.Quote:
