I have a cabin. With a dishwasher. And air conditioning. And washer/dryer.
Because I’m not poor any more.

I like to work 60 hours per week and die young so that I can afford to provide my family with a nice house near nice schools and then once or twice a year say, "Hey Honey, let's go out in the woods and do homeless cosplay for a few nights."

Or not.

Basically my whole bored if you were to axe some.
There is a class action lawsuit against the Boy Scouts for that kind of malarkey
Dark shit man.

As long as there are some cute chicks and booze I'm down.
I love tent camping but will soon be going the glamorous something all season being dragged behind my big ass new truck. Could have left 'new truck' off I guess.
We are thinking of selling the house and goats and traveling around the USofA and maybe into Canada on occasion. I have relatives that are dumb Yuppers - don't wanna see them, just want to show the Mrs. the Upper Peninsula. Travel during off season, drive on weekdays not weekends and mainly saying to hell with politics...

Last time I slept in a tent was in Europe 25 years ago. My wife has been pushing for a motor home, and while it sounds intriguing, neighbors on both sides have them, and spend more time taking them to get worked on than they do traveling in them. I am old, and soft as fuck...
Motor homes are the new boats.
The best two days of your life: the day you buy it and the day you get rid of it.
We had a camper when I was a kid. Big one. We'd load that thing on the Jeep J20 and head up in the hills, find a landing on the end of a road, put the jackstands and sawhorses down, and take off in the Jeep to go 4-wheeling or hunting grouse or finding chanterelles. Most of my best childhood memories are of camping/fishing/hunting trips.
I only camp once or twice a year any more, but I still dig it like I did when I was a kid. I don't think I'd use an RV enough to justify the headache of owning one. A tent, air mattress and camp stove gets the job done.

This. I can see buying some cheapo throwaway travel trailer where you don't care about the depreciation and beat on it. But I hear nothing but horror stories regarding motor homes.
We might rent a RV one of these days. Buying seems foolish
RVs in my experience don't have the build quality to hold up to the type of use they're made for...basically any use at all.
Air conditioning can be a nice thing if you're camping in extreme heat like when we used to go to the SE Idaho dunes in July. I can't see any other reason for me to have one. A 4x4 van tricked out to hold and quickly unload a nice tent site with a group shelter and tables, etc, a kitchen setup that can fold outward off the side, outside shower, space to sleep in a pinch, and a boat behind it are ideal. Basically everything about an RV can be done better like this aside from indoor, air conditioned sitting space which is rarely needed.

I met @RaceBannon once in a porking lot. It was a rented piece of shit RV.
