Glamping

'NY Times' Cookies

Philip and I have different camping philosophies - Philip is more light and fast while I am a little more into heavy food and wood stoves.  I have done the light and fast, and back in the day that was my way too, but as a field archaeologist I have been in a lot of field camps.  Camps with a cook tent where you stay awhile.  I think my days in the field as an archaeologist have influenced how I camp (click here, and here for old blog posts about this subject).  I like the cook tent and wood stove!

Not to say that Philip does not like 'comfort' camping (or as it is otherwise known 'glamping').  Check out the cookies he cooked for our last survey, and he is also famous for bringing along Chili Cheese Fritos on long hikes where weight is super important.  We both realize that the different styles of camping have their place.  And we both agree that if you get where you are going by floatplane and are carrying it all in a large kayak - then you might as well go in style and do some 'glamping'!

Here are 'clamping' photo from my last survey of the year with Philip.  Pretty comfortable.  Patrick
