I've done alot of primitive camping and some no so primitive camping. Last year I took both my sons to a couple of bluegrass festivals. Tent camping. It was GREAT! They loved it! My sons and I have also done the out in the back yard type of camping, to introduce them to it, in a good sort of way. It was a success. I am not opposed to a 5th wheel camper either. I have plans to buy a good used one in the next 5 years or so. That way I can accommodate my wife and little girl. When I was younger age, I caught my own fish, fillet them and cooked them. No problemo! I grew up out in the country and hunted and fished on a regular basis. I deer hunt, and rabbit hunt and squirrel hunt. So, primitive isn't a concern. I really enjoy camping. It is a great family activity. No t.v., no puter, no gameboy etc. etc. If you can cook on a grill, and sleep in a sleeping bag, you can pretty much handle it. Well, that is, IF your not afraid of outdoor noises, and don't need to fix your hair, or nails, or do your face in the morning.:tongue2:
