wife and i was watching the above game show last night.

the end game, where the winner proceeds to , for the super-duper prize, the gal did not get the puzzle thusly losing out of the $40,000 prize.

the prize puzzle answer was:

"Glamping in the woods"......

LIKE WHAT DA FOOK DOES THAT FRIGGING MEAN..?????
jesus h. christ..........
so i had to look it up..
"Glamping in the woods is a luxurious, "glamorous" form of camping that blends immersion in nature with comforts like real beds, electricity, and, often, private bathrooms. It eliminates the need to set up tents, bring gear, or sleep on the ground, allowing for a cozy, hotel-style experience in a forest."

like WTF......ya can't use leaves to wipe yer butt, or sleep on frigging pine cones in a REAL SLEEPING BAG, or have battery lights, or an ice cooler..??

damned summa-beeches.......

gotta be some folks out there that have NO CLUE on "getting close to nature".........

that'll be the day i take all the SH!T to go camping...might as well put a chain around yer house and drag it into the freaking woods.....
 
Camping is defined as the art of living comfortably in the outdoors. The key word here is comfortably. The point is to get out and enjoy nature. If you're miserable the whole time, why do it?
Look at all the people who camp in trailers and RVs. Couldn't that be considered glamping?
At my age and condition, I'm fine with that. ;)

an RV may be something different, as many times they travel to many different places, and live in them for a long(er) time than just a quick trip to the campgrounds..

a camping trainer also is somewhat different in my point of view..

camping to me is minimal like......a tent, maybe a porta potty, then maybe a rubber mat for the sleeping bag(s), a lantern, maybe a coleman type of propane stove.........then food and water for drinking....not much of anything else. you know, stuff you can fit into the old station wagon, or nowadays a fancy-schmancy SUV.

I have slept on ground in a good sleep bag with a few pine pine tree boughs underneath but if I were to do that now I would need a handyman Jack to get me back on my feet. Sit down once get up twice as the old saying goes.
 
About 10 years ago I looked into "climbing" Mt Kilimanjaro. Its really more of a hike than actual climbing. They have tours that will pack and, up camp and cook for you along the way. For an extra $50 they will provide a private toilet (which is really just a chem toilet with a shower tent around it.
 
Life is too short to get bent out of shape over things that don't effect me.

Wheel of Fortune uses a random generator to come up with their puzzles. A Bot came up with that puzzle.

I grew up in a camping family and have been camping most of my life. Mostly in tents and cooking on Coleman stoves. After my parents retired, they bought a nice camping trailer and did some traveling. I went with them a couple of times. Nice and easy, but not real camping to me.
I've backpacked and day hiked. I've just wrapped myself in a poncho, picked what looked like the best spot and crashed for the night.
I actually considered Army camping easy since they provide all the food.
When my sons were growing up, I spent 12 years as a Boy Scout leader. I really enjoyed that.
After I retired, I went a couple of times. I enjoyed being out in nature, but it just isn't the same all by yourself.
I love camping and wish I still could. For a while I seriously considered buying a pop-up. But now I'm too old and too decrepit. I'm afraid it just ain't in me anymore. :(
