I'm with Swifty. I was camping one night on an island on Algonquin Park when two guys pulled up in their canoe in some pretty nasty weather. I told them my site was big enough for all and they stayed over. They had chairs and towels and extra shoes and all sorts of stuff and they were portaging like me! Thanks but I'll go light. I didn't even BRING a suit! And what is the sun for if you can't dry off without a towel? Chairs? I got rocks! Yes I sleep on an air mattress. I'm no freak, but it's pretty light and worth every ounce! I told them I didn't use a bathing suit but neither of them took my suggestion. Their loss and maybe I planted a seed of an idea...
I adore camping but it can be hard work when it comes to packing everything away! That's the only downside.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but our last tent camping trip was to our resort Easter weekend (we went this weekend, but rented a small travel trailer because of the threat of rain), and we woke that Easter morning to a steady rain. I started packling the truck between showers, and then the breaks finally stopped, just steady rain, that then turned to driving rain.
We had one change of clothes that was dry, put them in the washroom and started breaking down the tent nude in the driving rain. My sweet wife and I were drenched, working in inch deep water to take down the tent, and laughing our newly tanned butts off. We actually had a great time together doing that I agree though, that taking it down and putting it away back home is the least pleasurable part of the job!
