About 3 years in total out of my life. In my 20s/30s I did a lot of backpacking up local mountains and a 7 day hike along a beach in the Queen Charlotte Islands, all with a 50-60 lb backpack. Done my fair share of true roughing it and it no longer has the appeal for some reason (sigh). :(
Nowadays, "camping" at a CG means their hasta be FHUs and TV. Last year we took out the jacknife torture sofa and installed a double power recliner sofa. Sweet! And with the kitchen & food being mere feet away, it's much better than being at home, lol...
