“Roughing it” means no cable. “Truly Primitive” means no wi-fi.

Even an ’innocent" camper has some effect on the ecosystem.

He can’t see the forest because of the trees.

These days, “camping” to many people means traveling around in a huge RV. That’s not exactly roughing it.

Yup he is.

The dialog is too camp!

I’m not sure what that is in panel 2. A throne? Kinghenge?

We always primitive camp. Nothing like sleeping in a tent under the stars.

I believe he likes glamping (camping with all the luxuries)

Now we knows who really built the Stonehenge.

There is camping, And then there is ruffing it. The King don’t ruff it, Just look at Henry VIII’s flatpack castles.

That’s not what Rod meant when he suggested they go camping and get stoned! :D

My wife likes camping at the Holiday inn.

Of course, he doesn’t, Rodney…he’s an Id-iot!

♫♪ They paved paradise, put up a parking lot ♪♫

Typical short view of a non-camper

Suddenly, my little tent and cozy clearing by the river seem so much more satisfying.

There use to be scenic overlooks here and there when I was growing up. 20 years later there were just places you could stop and look at the tree’s in the way. They’ve now all been removed. I guess people don’t want to stop and look at nature anymore.

Is this the medieval version of glamping?

I think it’s an example of a so-called folly, i.e., a summerhouse or pavilion designed for picturesque effect or to suit a fanciful taste. The wealthier one was, the more annoying the folly.

…And put ’em in a Tree Museum…

Like the story of the man who cut down the trees to see the view unaware that they were the best part of the view.

It always kills me when I’m at a national park campground and there are people “camping” where all you can hear is their generators, tv or sound system blaring out of their monster RV or trailer. Bet they go home and tell their friends how great it was to get back to nature.

So it shall be written; so it shall be done…..

Kinda brave for someone that can be used as a building block!
