All the bed, bath and kitchen linens get washed at the end of the season and placed in big plastic bins with lids along with clothes. Perishables and anything that can freeze all come out and get used up inside.

Inconsiderate, obnoxious NOISE is what bugs me the most, although trash and abuse of the landscape are right up there. Mechanical and electronic noise in particular bug me.
A grill rack and a box of foil along with a light weight pot for boiling water are all I usually use for a weekend situation. It takes up minimal space and weighs next to nothing.

We have a Moss tent that we've had for over 20 years. We've lived and camped all over the country in all kinds of conditions, and it has never let us down.
