If I rough it, which to me is sleeping in a tent, I do it because tent camping is the only way to get access to where I want to fish. I don't consider staying in a cabin to be roughing it if the cabin has cots and the facilities to cook food and clean up.

When I was younger, I used to backpack in the Rockies and go on week long canoe trips in the Boundary Waters. Unfortunately carrying a heavy pack for a week or portaging a week's worth of stuff three or four times in a day does not agree with my body. I am still willing to do "modified" wilderness trips such camping for a few days in the Sylvania Wilderness where I don't have to portage all of my gear multiple times.

Sleeping on the ground in a tent is not bad if you have a good sleeping pad and food always tastes great when you are camping. The stars are spectacular.
