Of course, part of the battle is convincing OURSELVES that this is fun. Let's be honest: it is a lot of work. But unlike most chores at home, these chores are coupled with undeniable fun -- doing whatever it is that we enjoy, in the boonies.
Oh, all I have to do is remember hiking in with 45 to 50 pounds of lightweight gear on my back, hauling water 200', a hard "bed", wet clothing in a damp tent, muddy feet after a "shower", pot of stew falling off the stove... No, not a battle at all. I may not get to the exact same spots, but I can get close enough that they're only a day hike or, perhaps, and overnight backpack adventure.
