Sleep
I would never, personally, sleep outside of a tent. Nope. I need a layer of fabric between me and all the stuff that could bite me, eat me, or murder me.

Oh look! Bear burritos!
I feel exactly the same way. I even still feel pretty wary with only a tent separating me from the outdoors. That, and I also really hate waking up covered in dew.
Fun Mike… Yes, they are all prepared for the bear Mexican Food Feast!
Chase… and then there’s the whole bathrooms outside thing. Nope… Nope… Nope.
Brig: Yes! That! My family would always laugh at me or get exasperated with me when I would refuse to just use the woods like everyone else and I would walk allllll the way up a huge wooded hill, probably half a mile or more, to an older campsite of ours just to be able to use the makeshift latrine we had up there which was basically just a toilet seat nailed between two trees.
I personally own more than one tent, but back in the 70’s I used to go backpacking into Big Sur, and a tent was just so much extra weight. And there were definitely no latrines back that far…

chase… oh dear… Yah… not a real fan of doing one’s business in the forest. I’m not even a fan of camping site bathrooms. I want a lodge, thank you very much.
Rich… yah… I want a lodge… thank you very much.
EofO… yes… and lodges!
Poor Kitty! The suspense is killing me! I’ve recently inherited a feral cat, his sister got chased away by the neighbors dogs, but tonight was the first time he climbed into my lap on his own, in his chosen, designated, feeding/petting area. I’ve been trying to get Otter inside (and he’s nearly as big and glossy as one too).
Suspense! When will Twinkie make it back to Grace?
MEOOOWWWW!!!!!
Count me among the Men of the Great Indoors…..
Ahh, layers of cloth. Saving us from axe murders in the forest and monsters under the bed for centuries…
Scott… Yay on your recent lap kitty… You have been accepted … Apparently…. The feline kind is a fickle lot… So count yourself fortunate to be included” … I hope you are enjoying the story of Twinkie …. Smiles.
Aza, hello! Yes… I hid myself under blankets as a child, which was like some sort of force field… Sasquatch couldn’t possibly find me under my quilts!
Uwg…. Ha! Yes, inside sipping toddies by the big lodge fireplace.
Beautiful. It brought tears. Art wise, that background is excellent. You are getting better and better bt the day.
Reminds me of an old Jim Gaffigan joke: “My wife says ‘Camping runs in my family!’ Yeah…camping ran in EVERYBODY’S family until they invented the HOUSE!!”
Lee… thank you… I wanted to set a mood.
Jon… true. Houses and indoor places or sleeping are ideal.
