Hey /out/, help settle a discussion on /ck/. Does it count as actually camping if you take a wooden chopping board, a big knife, and a bunch of heavy bowls and containers of ingredients with you?

/out/ can't even decide if car camping is real camping

Yes, it counts. Camping is the act of setting up and staying in a temporary living arrangement. You can technically camp in your backyard. Difficulty or removal from civilization doesn’t define camping, and I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t get the chance to enjoy it as a kid or take their own family car camping for a few days.

Camping isn’t defined by what you bring or don’t bring either. 90% of the time I’m using an alcohol stove and food that only needs boiling water. The other 10% is a Coleman propane grill.

Glamping is a the leisurely way to camp, its what most normies think of. There's nothing wrong with it. But a more iconic outdoors experience comes from going balls deep into the wilderness with minimal amenities. You get to live as an animal among animals and really feel the place you're at.

yeah why shouldnt it? seems like bare minimum stuff for good camping.
and this is where i hate on english for its lack of words, what /out/ call camping we here call hiking, tenting or sleeping outside, aka when the act of camping comes as s result of having to stay outside for days due to distance of the hike not necessarily the desire to "camp" in itself. while camping is bringing loads of stuff to camp for the sake of camping and you dont need to worry about weight and size because of short distance or road access/car.

Yes. You don't need to forage or live off dehydrated food stuffs for it to be camping.

When I go innawoods to hunt for a few days I definitely have a decent menu planned and a cooler with me. And as much as fresh shot grouse is nice over the fire, it's much better if I can baste it in chili butter while it cooks.

The dehydrated things and ultralight gear is nice for treks/marches/larping/canoeing. For most other times, having a truck at base camp with some heavy weight kitchen gear is great.

Thanks guys. There was a thread about those "cooking in the woods" videos that are popular now which devolved into shitflinging about bringing unnecessary weight not being actual camping. You guys are way more chill than my home board, maybe there's something to this going outside idea.

That's what I figured.

Interesting point about us not having good words for the distinction.

Camping involves a car, so yes. Backpacking is different.

All good points. Camping is the activity, but how removed/ how minimal/ how heavy or light is up to each person. The outdoors are always great, any tiny amount counts. Gatekeeping is only performed by hurt souls that project false ownership because of an insecurity: they dont spend as much time outdoors as they wish, but they put others down to make up for it. To each their own, hiking/ backpacking/ atv hunting/ car camping are all alike and can each be enjoyable in there own right

Hiking + camping equals backpacking
Camping +hiking equals car camping
They are both camping so you could say it's not real backpacking to be over encumbered but it is camping. English is the ultimate language if there is something it can't describe perfectly it adapts.
