Why do you love or hate camping?

My camping is in a wall tent deep in the wilderness not a trailor in a campground. That said what I love is the experience but what I hate is all the preparation and packing. We try to limit 180 pounds to each packhorse not including the packsaddle and pads. A saddle horse carrys much more than that for the average guy with his rifle, gear, saddle, pads, etc. I don't buy that "live weight" versus "dead weight" theory. Actually when we pack out a big bull elk the horse may have over 200 pounds of meat and horns on him. One bull elk = two pack horses.

Raccoons in the gear; poison ivy toilet paper; black flies all day and skeeters in the evening; Whipoorwills singing their hearts out to their soul mates all night; leaky tent seams; roots and rocks under the sleeping bag; stuck sleeping bag zippers; heavy footsteps and breathing outside the tent; campfire smoke in the eyes and clothes; new friends offering you a beer and a burger; fresh air; warm sunny days; cool cozy nights; brilliant stars that fill the sky; a crackling roaring campfire; no traffic; cooking over a live flame; campfire coffee; the only news report being the day's hunting or fishing stories. I love it.
