In old cowboy movies when someone rides into the camp, takes the metal kettle off the roaring fire and pours the coffee into a metal cup, he drinks it down as if the coffee was not scalding hot. In the real world, normal people would burn their hands and scorch their mouth on the coffee cup.
Most campers have the scars to prove it.
While it is no longer a necessity to sleep outside all the time, many people still go camping and some even brave the elements throughout the year. Some people are drawn to camping, while others don't see what's so great. Many people seek solace in the woods, away from ringing phones, buzzing fax machines, beeping computers and the seductive glow of the television. There's something special about being in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but trees and raw nature. Camping in different locations and seasons is determined by the amount of experience and the type of equipment people possess.
