That applies to grass and bugs when I visit their hood...

We carry a goat straped to the toads roof rack, put it out to pasture and the handy little bugger serves as a paper shreder too!

Don't forget the added benefit of fertilizer and milk/cheese dispenser...Way better than a cordless mower!

I too thought it was a joke.
I think once again we are having definition confusion.
Do you take a mower "to camp" or "camping"?

To me taking a mower to camp would be something a seasonal camper would do. "Camp" being a semi permanent or seasonal fixed place.

Also to me taking a mower "camping" is just silly. "camping" being a short term temporary stay in the woods.

It just boggles my mind that folks go to these cheek on jowl parking lots that pass themselves off as campgrounds and actually call it camping.

I go camping to get away from stuff, like doing yard work.
No way would I haul my lawn equipment with me.

I have bought some of the Ryobi 40-volt lawn tools which include a lawn mower, weed trimmer, leaf blower and 14 inch chainsaw. The mower has a 5 amp battery, and the chainsaw, weed trimmer and leaf blower have smaller 40v batteries that are less than 2 amp. All of the batteries will fit any of the tools. However the smaller amp batteries will not get much cutting out of the mower. I can trim for a very long time with the 5 amp battery in the weed trimmer.

I bought the mower to use for trimming to supplement a riding mower that I bought. I needed a new gas mower to cut 2 lawns with. Because I have severe arthritis in my knees, bone on bone with bone spurs and arthritis in my back I bought the riding mower. Since I was pleased with the other Ryobi tools I bought the 40v mower. I would say for the most part it worked well for my use cutting where the riding mower couldn't go and would probably be okay for a condo or townhouse because of the battery limitations. It should work fine mowing around a campsite and it also has a folding handle.

The weed trimmer is the Ryobi expand-it model and can use any of the gas powered trimmer attachments. I even installed a Pivot Trim cutting head to replace the small bump feed head. The Pivot Trim came with different left and right threaded bolts to attach to different trimmers. I needed a left hand thread that was shorter then the ones provided. I bought a spare red bump head knob and cut it apart to get the bolt out which was left-handed thread. It was a perfect fit. The Ryobi with my Pivot Trim mod works great. I wouldn't have any problem carrying the mower and trimmer with me camping if I thought that I would need them.

We take a battery powered weed eater and blower with us to the state park. They cannot keep up with the mowing and usually they cannot get close enough to the RV with there mower so I will weed eat the site and blow the pad off

We mow our favorite fishing spots every spring.

I wonder why we have trouble getting in those spots later....? ;)

Yeah, my first thought too.

Clearly we are very different types of campers....
