Hubris: “Dude, if I paid attention to time like you do, I’d be getting in here at 6 PM and checking out an hour later. Now excuse me, I have helmet hair to deal with.”
“Camp grounds” have never made much sense to me. “I can pay you how much to sleep in my tent? Outdoors? Surrounded by a bunch of strangers sleeping in their paper-thin tents?” “You get running water, bathrooms, and electricity.” “How much if I bring my own liquids and dig a latrine in the woods?”
Yeah, I’m shocked by the concept of a paid campsite as well. I didn’t realise that people honestly did this, and I’ve been camping, and owned several tents, for as long as I can remember.
That said, often we didn’t use an actual tent tent at all. We’d just throw swags & a tarp in the back of a paddock basher, drive as far as possible on a friends property, and set up near a river somewhere…
Much earlier days we had a VW Type 3 Squareback (looked like a small station wagon). We would go across country in this thing… it’d be pitch black, and I would somehow pull right into a state run park/campground, we’d stuff $ in the slot and pull it in probably the last empty slot, and considering the hour, just crawl into the back. (we had a twin sized foam pad we had trimmed about 4″ off to make it fit, so two bodies in there…) and in the morning; have no bleeping idea where we were exactly (Idaho last I checked…) and need some really good instructions and a drawn map by the ranger to get back to the main road. $7 back then for a place to sleep that was relatively safe was worth it….
No, you’re paying them to be near where you want to be. (Location, location, location.) Maybe also to not be shot at.
You’re sleeping in your own gear for free.
And you’re paying for running water, whether or not you use it. If you’re not going to use it, there are places that don’t provide it. Fewer and fewer — seems fewer and fewer people can survive without their iPhones and iPods, and if you’re gonna be plugged in, you might as well have a light and a shower as well.
Yep met this dude at college. And work. And selling stuff….
Type AAAA+ and their world is too black and white.
Can Hubris perform a miracle? Check back for the next couple of panels!
Yup. My classmate is like this, and now he’s a millionaire.

This is how we prepped for camping as a kid.
