I've spent many a night in the far reaches of the world in a tent out of necessity because that was the only shelter to be found.

And while I admit that when I was younger camping out was fun, it hold no allure for me right now. However - given a set up Ron Eagle Elk or fcch - that's a far cry from the camping set-ups that I've been relegated to.

You, my friends, know how to CAMP!

The bigger the set up - the more comfortable the accommodations - and the more likely I'd be to stay in a mega tent instead of finding a local motel.

But for my three pole single dome? Nah - I've become too much of a wuss in my middle years. I'll find a hotel and end each day by rinsing the layer of fishing film that seems to coat me whenever I spend a full day out in the water.
