Seriously, I’m not in my 20’s anymore, and the ground is hard. I prefer an air mattress or better yet, an air mattress on top of a cot. Sleeping on the ground isn’t great either. Lucky for me, my husband is one of those people. Since I am extremely inexperienced and don’t yet know what I’m doing, nor do I know which equipment is for what, I must also camp with someone that really, really knows what they’re doing. I will camp in a tent for two to three nights, but will not go on an overnight hiking excursion (again, the digging-a-hole thing). (It sounds a little like using a litter box, somehow). There must also be access to a bathroom (it doesn’t have to be fancy), as I find the idea of digging a hole in lieu of a “loo” only to cover it back up with dirt from the hole I didn’t want to dig in the first place rather distasteful. While I love the beauty of everything outdoors that surrounds me and am a lover of all living things (even the kind that can rip me limb from limb… excluding spiders and insects, of course), I’m a fair weather type of nature-lover, and certain restrictions do apply.įor example, I am happy as can be to go on a long nature walk or hike as long as the weather is conducive (Translation: Perfect not too hot or too cold – although living in Alaska has strengthened my resolve about the “cold” part). I’m not an outdoorsy type of girl by nature.
