Too Old for the ground!!!
#1
I grew up camping. michigan, texas and even in the mountians of alaska. we did and igloo was in Kalkaska michigan at -40degrees.

Since I blew my back out and just plain got older, i can't sleep in a bag on the rocks anymore but I wanted a way to still go way back in and possibly still take my quads sometimes. We bought a tent trailer that is off-roadable....no not one of those prissy things with a potty and shower...a real pop out tent that I can tow behind the jeep and still take back thru the rocks and all. Granted, it may not go everywhere the jeep will but definately farther than most others and I can load two quads on top.
We used it the first time at the florence junction jamboree and it was really cool!!


Here is the website, check it out!!!:

That is really cool and great for a family. Everytime we go camping and I bring my tent (which is only when the girlfriend and the dogs come) I get laughed at. I dont mind sleeping in a bag under the stars but when I do my back is killing me for the next week.

I know, I am only 27 and most people say how can I have back problems but I played football for 10 years and baseball almost my entire life. Not to mention I am kinda rough with my body, so even though I am still young it is nice to enjoy camping without the pain every now and then.
