Camping Out in a Tent
There's nothing homier or more comforting when you're out in the wilderness than putting up and getting into your tent. It is more than just a night time shelter. It's magic.

I've enjoyed it before, but as I'm thinking about it, I'm remembering - rain and dampness. Hmm. I'm having to choose Yes, because I definitely can't choose "I require luxury" - where's the "yes, if it isn't raining" radio button?

We go tent camping several times every year, and love it! Of course, we do have some stories to tell... Like the time a huge storm came and there was a river running through our tent. I'm not talking about a little stream, mind you; this thing was a foot deep! But we love tent camping! What is life without a little adventure?! :-)

I've tent-camped since I was a kid, and took my own kids on camping vacations. I used my small tent with a screen room erected right over the top as a 'vacation home' at the seashore. Our neighbors used their tent as a guest room when they had family visiting from out of state. Fun, inventive lens! 5*

I honestly did not know which way to vote because I love camping. However, we graduated to a tent trailer -- mostly because it allows us to take more stuff than we could fit in the car with our two teenage boys and because my husband can stand up which is much easier on his back. I've put my vote under 'Yes' because 'No' didn't seem the right place!

Yes, I'm all for tent camping. I love the feeling of having my own little house-like thing in the wilderness. I love being close to nature.

No, I wouldn't do it - I require luxury!

Well, it depends. I need a place to shower and a good air mattress. But other than that.....

I have to add, he's never met my parents so I don't know where he gets this odd idea, but some of you might find it helpful.
Thanks for visiting my lens about tents...
I love the magic of putting up a tent whenever I go camping. I love that cozy feeling of a home away from home. Thanks for coming along as I had fun making a list of alternative tent uses. May we all have the experiences we need with our tents!Click here to add this lens to your favorites.

I visited because you said it was unpopular. I think it is very funny and if I didn't have a tent already, maybe I'd buy one!
I have another use for you: when my daughter (who is about to be married) was a toddler, she couldn't sleep away from home and yelled and made our lives miserable until I thought of getting her a tent that could be put up, say, in a hotel room. We put her favorite blanket on the floor inside so nothing unfamiliar could be seen. Did the trick.
