So true....over the years we have determined the same thing. Since retirement a while back we no longer take 2-3 day weekend type trips. I like 5 days as a minimum. We don't have a small camper but load the trailer for trips from the home base. Due to the Bat Flu we have only taken a couple of trips this year and our annual 3-4 month summer trip to escape the Texas heat hasn't happened for the last 3 years (due to a family illness). If this stuff clears up I hope for a 2021 that we can get back to doing more of what we love to do.

Yeah, the short-term trips wouldn't be so difficult but I've gotten so picky about all the things I have to have with me when I camp that I make it difficult on myself.

It sounds to me like you need to take weekend camping trips scheduled for mid week.

Yeah that's about right. I think a three day trip is about as short as I should go on. I'm sure you've done this many times, and know how much packing is required no matter how brief the trips going to be.

After a certain age ( post military) I never had the mindset for one day/overnight backpack or camping as the mental prep and acclimation curve for me was not good - Ideally, depending on weather, I prefer at least three days min on the trail -

Yeah you would think I knew already that an overnight trip is more trouble than it's worth. But in the past when I lived in a home without wheels I had various kinds of RVs I would go someplace in and I would literally keep the RV packed with everything I needed to take a trip except things that could be damaged by freezing, and my camera equipment. Other than that I was ready to go.
