When I first got into camping I was a "purist". But then I realised that we all make camping technologically advantageous as we all see fit! Think about it, the purest form of camping would be to be dropped naked and alone into a several hundrerd acre wilderness!!

I'll stick with sleeping in the back of Baby II, my 2006 Grand Caravan! :-) Have yet to do that, but it's coming!!
