      “Fun” fact, this is actually why my mom has no interest in camping as an adult. Her family was homeless a lot when she was a kid and her mom disguised it as a fun extended camping trip. The kids bought it for the most part, because the family really did camp for fun, and they were used to fishing for dinner and things, but she said as she got older, she realized things like the month long trip in November were because they lost their housing.

        My wife hates camping. She needs electricity, a toilet, wifi, etc.

        I never thought about why until your comment. My wife moved houses every few months as a kid. Maybe 10-15 times total before before college.
