Too many times have I gone camping with GF and kids and the kids and me wind up sleeping far from the tent. Don't know why the girls wanna go camping. Everyone one of em forgets their bug juice.

Camping...what a great topic 
I love it. I have some of the best memories with my family growing up because of it.
First of all, being prior military, I can take roughing it, (Staying in a foxhole all night with Georgia bugs crawling all over ya')I wouldn't go this far again out of sheer enjoyment, but I do love to camp.
I can start my own fire or even go without. I put my own worms on my hooks and could even search under rocks and the side of creek beds for things that would catch a fish. I always gut my own fish and have been known to lose a few fishing bets where I have had to gut everyone else's fish too. I own my own fishing poles, one for lake fishing and an ultralight for upper mtn. streams. I don't know how to fly fish yet I must admit. I like to camp out in the winter too when I am hunting and wake up with hot coffee and a little Bailey's Irish Cream to take off the chill. (Yes, I own a pair of carhardts and longjohns(not the sexiest attire but I stay warm)There's nothing like feeling the crispness and hearing an elk bugle.
This summer I plan on taking nothing but a tarp, my sleeping bag and my fishing rod tied onto my saddle bag and I am going to ride up into those high mtn lakes and streams and just get lost. That's one of the reasons I moved to this area of Wyoming. I want to enjoy what nature has to offer before I get too old and can't and I am just stuck with memories. Oh, I will be taking those ice cold baths though in the creek naked...I can't go without being clean, I don't want to stink. I will just eat sulphur off of match sticks to keep the bugs off so that I won't have to spray down with repellant.

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

Cool thread. Hilarious story Ranger Camaro, I was crying from laughing so hard too. Ranger Slowpoke, had to laugh at your girl's comment! ;).
So the ladies are invited to comment? Alright, it's this simple.
I have hardly ever been camping. I'm an only child and neither parent was really into it much. My weekends and holidays have been spent competing on horseback, since I was 7. I don't have my own gear, and I don't know have the roughing-it skills of you camping-savvy folks.
I do love being outside, and not just in perfect sunny weather. The few times I have been camping, have been some of the best weekends ever. I've been trying to get a crew of my friends together to go with me. As for requiring all the amenities... nope. The things I don't know how to do, I'd like to learn. I do not get grossed out and don't scare easily (have been pretty much face-to-face with bears many times).... and if you catch me complaining [unlikely!], I'll carry your pack as well as mine.
So there you have it. I'm a rookie that's up for anything.
