When I was about six years old we were cleaning out a closet at home and we came across my Dad’s canvas tent that he had when he was in the Army. We set it up in the back yard to allow it to air out and we even slept in it one night. Granted we were just in the backyard but a few years later when I was in my early teens we did do some old fashion camping. Cooking over a campfire, sleeping on the hard ground in a three person tent. I didn’t really enjoy it at the time but it is a fond memory now. I can’t even imagine trying to do that now with four kids. My idea of roughing it now is staying in a hotel – sad? yes. I’m a lightweight.
