    We don't need more people camping. Even many of the more remote, harder to get to areas are constantly crowded these days. It sucks. I like to camp to get away from people.

    THIS!!!!!!1

    I used to go hiking but now I can’t stand it. Too many people. Lots of snot-nosed kids listening to music without earphones. Why don’t you enjoy the scenery dipshit instead of taking a million pics for your Instagram feed.

    Now if you excuse me, there’s a cloud I need to yell at.
    Just open carry and you'll get a 100 foot buffer, instantly.
    I’m thinking about it.

    When I was in my 20's tent and sleeping bag is all I needed... now just add a air mattress and bigger tent. 100 bucks more... still cheap.

    Exactly! My biggest camping expense back in my 20s was for beer and gas.
    This. Stuffed $5 of gear in a backpack, grabbed 3 Top Ramen and my dad's half empty hidden bottle of creme de menthe and I was all set. Let's camp!
    Moral: Injuns were upper class compared to my trashy upbringing.

    A couple of my black buddies, who are smart, successful, great dads, great athletes & all that, can't BBQ for shit. They can't even get the coals going.

    So camping? Probably not even on their radar.

    “Smart, successful, great dads”

    Sureeeeeeee.

    You got a problem with successful black guys?

    I checked on camping gear. Turns out, it cost the same whether you're white or black. At least I didn't see any white discount offered.

    The cost of camping and the comfort you're in are proportional. Comfort costs money. It always does.

    The white discount is built into the price

    You can buy North Face shit at 60% off out of season. It's not hard at all.

    I think that's the white *privilege* discount you speak of.

    I will never, ever forget being the minority on my HS football team (majority black, with quite a different income profile compared to my family) and the one year we had a week of training camp off campus in the "woods" near Charlottesville. Shared cabins, mess hall, all that, so not real camping, but the majority of the team had no idea what to do with that level of "nature". Wild animals rustling leaves were scary; the idea of a snake nearby sent our star running back in a full on sprint out of the cabin.

    I have no idea why so many of my teammates had not had the life experience of any type of camping, boy scouts, or basic nature exposure. Interest, opportunity, awareness, who knows. But it was real alright.

    Blacks people are too dumb to get the off season discount. Didn’t you follow along here ?

    Your willingness to pin your ears back and go all-in on a racist joke has not gone unappreciated.

    TYFYS.
