    camping pitbull

    She would much rather sleep in the hammock when camping, but a 60 pound pitbull in the hammock gets really uncomfortable after an hour or so. :D

    I can get to the site late, set up the hammock and still have time to watch the festivities as the others are messing with their tents or backing in their RVs.

    +1 for Car camping

    I like car camping but only because I haven't done much backpacking and always pack too much or forget something important. Car camping takes the worry of forgetting something out of the equation.
