Nobody's mentioned how "off roading" almost always takes place on roads?

RVing, off-roading, e-bikes....not my jam nor even my peanut butter.

I "camped" in a rented cabin at a state park in Texas once. It had cinder block walls, air conditioning, and metal bunk beds with mattresses. Looked like a prison cell, maybe a federal country club prison. I was with a group that rented them out for a trip. The bathrooms were in a separate common building and infested with roaches, and there was a water well outside to hand pump water (may have been pressurized with a spigot), which the deer frequented, so that aspect was more like "camping". My scout camp had open air three walled cabins with gurney bunks, and was considered camping. Common double pit toilets with no privacy. Some other troop sites had field tents set up on platforms instead of the wooden cabins.

Everyone knows "real" camping only occurs with thousands of dollars in ultra light gear, not in some silly cabin.
Make wilderness less accessible.

+1 12ers. I am getting awfully tired of nearly being run over on my favorite trail by an idiot going 30mph on a e-bike.

Another silly 3 year old post resurrected. Ugh.
