Nice tent! Probably hard to get into the back country though, lol. BTW, did you have some bad eggs last time you went "cramping"? :)
 
We combine fishing and camping all the time, we use a tent though.
You can camp at the fishing lake we go to. I have a propane powered fish fryer and we usually beach the boat right at the campsite. Talk about fresh fish. Step off the boat and throw them in the fryer.:cheers:
 
I go "camping" about once every couple of month's but where I am from we call it "training". Go ARMY
 
Last time I went cramping, I ate some peanuts and had cramps for two days. lol Actually I haven't camped since the '70's. Usually just rent a nice Motel.
 
grab a backpack and my light weight hammock and lets go! My last trip was a 75mi and my pack weight was 38lbs going in (wet with 7 liters and fuel) and 14lbs coming out. Nothing like swimming in lakes with no one else and seeing some gorgeous mountain views.
 
Nothing like roughing it now is there. My wifes idea of camping is an air cond motel with hot and cold running water and a resturant in close proximity of the room. Nice " Cramper". Laughin with ya.
 
Here is my cramping set up. I added the awning on the back myself cause of that is where the door is.

Here's our 32' 'cramping' rig just after getting it completely re-skinned.
Some clown backed his toybox into it where we had it stored and creased about 3' of skin and tore off the vent behind the microwave. Sure glad he had good insurance! They couldn't match the color exactly since it's about 15 years old.
Great job of re-skinning - now it looks brand new! I had them add the diamond plate along the bottom and the entire front below the overhang; all new doors and windows, exterior lights, exterior security lights on both sides, external speakers above the large windows. Oh yeah, and I got new aluminum wheels for it for $100. We pull it with our V10 Ram 2500.
All the comforts of home!

I love camping, It gets me away from the house and on top of a mountain
so I can look down on the earth. We go to Petit Jean twice a year and I camp close to home for some good morning and night time fishing.

Petit Jean Mountain car show and swap meet last year.:love7:

We go out to Glamis to play in the sand dunes and camp.

This is the only pic I have of the truck and toyhauler. The buggy fits in the back and the living spaces are in the front.

It has a 700 HP LS-7 in it. It is a lot of fun and my dads but he lets me drive in it. In the pass seat. LOL He did let me drive it one time. It is very fast.

This is our place at a lake in northern Idaho, it's 40 feet long and only sleeps 2 (no kids), it stays there year round and in 2 weeks we'll be there for 8 weeks. Me and the missus and of course Sam like hanging out with those crazy retired Americans that also stay over the summer. Some pretty montrous rigs pull into the RV park pulling all the toys.
