lol homoe..I like that too but I love a good campfire, moonlight, a warmed sleeping bag, waking up to a world covered in frost, walking alone to a nearby stream to wash, watching your breath curl to the sky..it's magical

I always travel pretty light ...my tent I can put up in less then 8 minutes and it weighs under 5 lbs..my sleeping bag around 18oz, a hunting knife, cup for water, flint, tinder, axe, extra socks, first aid kit, bug spray, water straw, a small skillet and I limit myself to less then 5 lbs of food stuffs. All in all about 17lbs plus the weight of pack. Very manageable. When I was camping a lot my pack was always waiting for me to sling on my shoulder and I was off. Packing and clearing campsite under 40 minutes-and I can go lighter-in an emergency

Oh..and I almost forgot, a small slice of biodegradable soap!

I am adding a Spot, cellphone w/battery pack, compass & maps, altimeter(necessary in Mountains), flashlight, sunglasses, sunscreen. 2 flares. An additional max of 3lbs. I don't currently own a Spot but I consider it a necessity not a luxury..so on my Yule list

I like camping but no longer enjoy roughing it to the same extent, quite the way I used to when young. I was supoosed to go as part of a group, with my sons and some other people, but one got a promotion/is now working rotating days off, split shifts, overtime - his schedule is a nightmare mess. My other started a new job and though he has weekends off his car is older - he dosen't dare risk having a breakdown/missing a day while still doing his orientation. If he missed time during his probabtionary period even his union couldn't save him, he'd be let go immediatly. I'm not released to drive yet, so can't go alone and don't know the others going well enough to ask for even a ride, let alone saddle them with abruptly cutting their plans short, to race me to the ER should an emmergancy come up. I think I just might treat myself to a staycation. Even if only for a couple days mid week - breakfast bar, room service, spa tub, bezillion cable TV channels, pool, hot stone massage, which I've always wanted to try but never have...
