Camping, A Part of the Symposium Experience...for some
Waking to the sound of a gentle surf on a sandy beach can be heaven. On the other hand, waking up to a torrential storm that seems to want to move the tent to a new location is also part of the camping experience. 
Sometimes it's finding a place to read and be alone. 
Sometimes it's the pits. But always it is an example of man taking a step back on the evolutionary scale and, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, a man wakes to new possibilities.
It is, after all, a time for man to revisit his roots, to become the hunter gatherer, and to honor the traditions of all men from time in memoriam.

Just making an adjustment--
A man needs to make sure his boys are properly arranged when he hits his feet for the first time in the morning. No camping training needed there!
