Tag: Making camp

A gentlemen we met a few weeks ago commented that we make a ‘nice camp’. This got us thinking of the difference between camping and making camp. It is a small difference, but a very important one to us since we pretty much live outside. In order to “live on the road”, we need to make the places we camp our home and so far our system/set-up works. As long as we have a small flat’ish spot, we are good to go. If it is buggy, we put up the screen room; if it is windy, we put up a few green panels; if it is cold, we put up all the green panels and the woodstove; and if it is raining or too sunny, we have the awnings …I guess we do make a ‘nice camp’ and that makes it possible for us to visit all these cool little out-of-the-way spots (we are currently camping 7 miles up in the Elkhorn Mountains next to a freezing cold stream below the remaining snowpack).
