Road Tripping (Moving from place to place) - Camping (Staying in one place)
Cryss and I were talking about primitive camping vs pulling a camper. No, we’re not considering buying a camper, pulling a camper is not conducive to our style of travel. Navigating through small towns and curvy, hilly back roads while pulling a camper can be a challenge. Traveling a narrow, bumpy gravel road while pulling a camper is not something I want to do. Primitive camping works best for us. We like camping but only do it when it’s combined with a trip and we avoid traditional camp grounds. If we expect to be on a trip overnight, we take our camping gear. Tent, ground pads, sleeping bags, and our backpack. Our backpack is a large military (government issue) rucksack with frame. It contains everything we need for up to four days, including homemade MRE’s (Meals Ready To Eat). If you have the right gear, primitive camping can be very comfortable. In the morning we make coffee, eat, pack everything into the car and we’re free to continue our journey. Traveling from place to place allows us to do spontaneous travel. We sometimes meet people who tell us about an interesting place so we may take a temporary detour. We’re happiest on trips doing everyday things, chatting with people who live in places we visit and finding little surprises that we wasn’t looking for…just watching the everyday life that goes on around us. We like being on the road, exploring new places and meeting new people.
