I did a lot of backpacking in my younger days. Enjoyed it a lot. Now at age 73, I prefer our truck camper on our 4x4. We still get into the back country. Only now I can stay for several weeks (if I plan it right).

We hike during the day and return to the comforts in the evening. Best of both worlds.

Our life is simple, sort of, but we have all we really need. I don't know if you call that camping or not. Don't care what you call it but it gives us access to places we could not ever get to by any other means. And provides the "infrastructure" to support our needs.

Right now we are in a remote part of Maine, on the edge of a large "pond" We will wander about for the summer and then return to southern AZ for the winter. Our route takes us through all the national forests and such that we can.

I could not do this with a tent. Too much work and could not provide the solar power or "facilities" we need for such remote camping...there.. I used the word.. guess I do think of it as camping.
