    Tent. Because im poor, and cheap.
    A giant RV really limits where you can camp. I like to go boldly to where nobody else hangs out.
    Tarp on ground, tent on top of that, air mattress (dont forget your pump) and just enough stuff to pack out alone. Water filters and enough dehydrated food and i could go forever.
    I feel if I learned how to gut fish I could absolutely live in nature indefinitely

    Tow cutter my brother has that exact set up with the razor and also has the generator where he can hook up anywhere ...
    I myself love a tent though I have not had the luxury of camping in many many years

    Your house is a camper, or you live in a tent then ?

    My house is in the woods... No need to visit somebody else's woods.

    My house has woods on three sides. But I still like to get away when I can.

    Me too, but it looks like I may need an electric vehicle sooner than I thought in order to go on those getaways. I build my little pop-up trailer light enough to be pulled by a compact EV, but I had been hoping to postpone that purchase for a while.

    Getting away is part of my life. I get to see the grandkids, and visit some spectacular campgrounds along the way. I love the natural surroundings where I live, and always feel good about returning there.
     
  10. Depends on the circumstances. I use a tent when camping alone. It's all I have lol but it is a nice way to camp

    As a young man I enjoyed backpacking around with just a pup tent to sleep in, but with age, roughing it keeps getting rougher and rougher.

    One day while crawling out of my tent I realized I needed one big enough that I could that I could stand up in, and I got one. Later I got a cot because sleeping on the floor made it too much of a hassle to stand up. When I retired a couple buddies of mine chipped in and bought me a $50 gift certificate to a sporting goods store, and I applied it toward buying a canopy.

    So now I rough it in style, though setting up and later breaking camp takes considerably more work. That's why many people my age only use campers, if they still camp out at all.
