A ping alone

So yeah, I camp alone too and we both like it that way.

I remember that thread, or one like it. People here can be critical of frickin' everything!

Personally, I need alone time, and choose partners that do, too.

I mentioned that I like to camp alone on here about a year ago and got crucified. One guy even questioned my marriage! I started camping when I bought my pop-up 6 years ago fully understanding that my wife had no intentions of joining me. After 6 months, I traded in the pop-up for a tiny camper. My wife joined me three times, but did not like it. Last year, We upgraded to our current camper. It is bigger and has all the bells and whistles to make her comfortable. She has already joined me four times in it. Now the policy is this. "Honey, I am camping at Such and Such Park for three nights. Do you want to come?" She either says yes, or I go by myself with no hard feelings on either side. I love having her with me, but I love camping- period. I would not give it up, just because I have to go alone. I have camped 297 nights in the last six years. My wife was there for 23 of them.

Occasionally, our kayaking club goes to rivers far enough away that a day trip is out of the question; and Ed doesn't kayak. So I go alone; but if I'm meeting up with a bunch of friends, I can't really call it "solo camping" I guess? I wouldn't hesitate to camp alone - if that was my only choice for camping.

Oh and yes, camping alone can be cool.

"Give me a ping, Vasily... one ping only please"

That's the first thing that came to mind:
