False - my parents got into the camping thing in the late 1960s. I never liked it - I never felt clean, small animals frequently got into the tent, my mom tangled with a bear once that tried to get into the food hamper, it a;ways seemed to rain no matter where we went. Never again! I guess after the bear incident, my mom had enough, too. The next year my dad sold the tens and other equipment.
You plan on attending holiday parties this year (if there are any).
