Title: How many of you go camping?
Post by: Master Captain on June 18, 2009, 22:33:54
I was thinking about a new camper and this thought crossed my mind. How many of you guys go camping, whether in a camper or tent? I've been camping since 1998 and we started with a pop up trailer and currently have a trailer that has pop out bunks at each end and the rest is hard bodied :D

We go camping sometimes, as we have a 8-man tent. We take all sorts of things such as a cooking stove, pop-up chairs and wind-breakers for privacy :)

I have also been camping in a proper caravan (or trailer to you weird americans  :evil:) with my grandparents :)

I've always wanted to stay in a caravan, I have a few times when I was really little and have some really weird memories of it, such as having a big hole in my knee which looked like a sandwich.
But staying in a caravan would be really fun, you live where ever you park! How awesome would that be? But that would be the same as being on a ship, live whilst you sail.  :D

Ah classic, a campfire just completes a day of camping, especially with smores. We actually took apart our gas grill to make smores one time due to a fire ban :D

I, myself, have never actually gone out camping, Since, Back in Ireland, you already had the countryside around you anyway. You could just go and explore for yourself ;D :angel:

Though, I do know dad did used to have a VW Campervan, at one point. (One of the old style ones).

Jack.

I and a friend once went camping, in a forest or whatever they call it, which ain't really big, was quite funny. We used a 3 man tent I think it was.

I'm afraid not Matt, camping is when you go 'back to basics' by using a makeshift tent and being in the outdoors.

I myself love camping, the feeling of waking up to the birds sing and the fresh air is wonderful :)

We always go camping each year (my family goes multipl times, but I go only once a year).  We go at our secret place (I cannot tell) but we may be going to a campground this year.

My wife loves going up mountains with a tent strapped on her back.

I love waving her off.

For me, anything less than a 5 star hotel is slumming it.  :evil:

I love to go camping in Sweden every year! First reason: I have to board a ship to come over! Second: it's allways close to the nature. Third: it is very relaxed there. Need more informations? Ask the Swedish Tourist Board  ;)  :lol:  ;D  :thumbs:

Oh, since a few years we have a caravan, formerly a mobil home (camper) and before that a very cosy tent.

Cheers and Heja Sverige

4 Computers are a lot of PCs to play Ship Sim on. One for the game, one for the Mission Editor, one for the splitscreen chart and the last one to play Multiplay! ;D
