Of course we always get the "nice set up" comments but we also get the presumptive and uninformed comments as well. I have comments like (while using a WBBB, Yeti UQ, and SF)..."You can't tell me you stayed suspended in that all night!!!" ... and that was from a person who stayed in a tent that night during a rainstorm. Most of the comments come while car camping because of higher population and lower number of hangers. I had one guy laugh at me in a very insulting way (another tenter) say "Is that all you have? ... I could loan you some money so you could camp in comfort". That one really bothered me and when I started explaining he raised his hand dismissively. I have also had one person tell their son not to talk to "the weird guy" ... the son told me his parents said that earlier in the day. Any other interesting reactions out there?
