What's your favorite type of camping?

[cherokeeprogressive]

Me, I can do it all... from "dirt farming" (dry-camping with a tent) to parking my Class A in a campground with all the hookups.

1. What is "dry camping"?

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Tenting it in a place without running water is how it's been described to me.

We also call it dirt farming lol.

3. "Dry camping...

...also referred to as boondocking, is camping in your RV without hookups. No electricity, water or sewer connections."

I like backpacking with each person carrying a shelter-half. I prefer a group of 6 - 15. Wilderness improvisation is exhilarating but alone in the wilderness isn't a good idea.

4. I have a hard time thinking of RVing as camping actually.

We have a 36 foot Class A and to me that's just "going" lol.

5. "Going"... I guess but...

...it beats paying $100+ per night then driving another 40 minutes to get to where you want to be.

6. Backpacking in the Sierra is my favorite (solo is great, but with my wife

is better). Car camping is a close second. And we want to try the RV thing; I haven't done it since I was a small kid.

But my go-to is a tent, backpack, and any trail that leads above the tree-line...

7. Wilderness!

I go up to the Adirondacks every summer with my buddy, sometimes for fishing, sometimes for trail running, but we always go straight wilderness rules - 150 feet from water, running or still, and 400 feet from the trail. Usually look for a pond about a half-mile in, bushwhack, and then set up camp right at the 150 foot line. There's very few better things in the world than running a High Peak in the morning, catching a few trout early on, and then enjoying them back at camp, heading out to have a nip of bourbon and watch the sunset on the edge of a lake where the closest warm body is a mile or two away..

8. Canvas tent pulled from my car

at the end of a road.......... or into a field somewhere there are some vistas to see.

9. When I'm alone...

Me a tent and/or sleeping bag and no amenities.

When my three kids, all under 10 are there... a tent and a place with at least showers.
