camping as a way to see the backcountry. I find dayhikes dont cut it because I cant get into the backcountry enough to see the great scenery. My wife does not like camping (tenting) so I end up going alone about once a year on a really good backcountry hike for about three days. I dont pretend to like sleeping in a tent(even on a foamie) because I dont find it comfortable to sleep. However I find it very satisfying to have tent, sleeping bag, food etc all in my backpack and the freedom to start and stop when I want as long as I make my next campsite when I am supposed to. Does anybody feel like me that tenting is not fun but is a must for the scenery? There are no b and b's in the mountains where I go. Can't wait till the snow goes away in the mountains, probably July or August!
