Default How Serious Are You About Camping?

Just how serious are you about camping or any other related type of outdoor activity like hiking, trekking, backpacking? Do you consider yourself a pro or just an enthusiast?

I am just an enthusiast. I am serious about camping, hiking and nature in general, but I am not a serious kind of guy. I am pretty laid back, do what I enjoy and don't worry too much about how I label myself.

I hike for the beauty, the health, the comraderie, and the peaceful solitude the wilderness brings. I put no label on myself other than grandpa. I'm certainly not an expert because I learn more each trip and indeed every day. Outdoor activities bring me closer to my kids and grandkids, be it backpacking, hunting or just day hiking and camping. I share my love of the outdoors as much as I can, through scouting programs, trail reporting, trail maintainence, and backcountry education.

I love the hobby of it but I am not hardcore or anything, but I can see from notes here many people are. I have too many hobbies to be pro about just one of them, to be live life and do what you do without harming others but enjoy it.

Quite serious, mainly got into camping,hiking and backpacking because they are an integral part of the scouting program. But don't consider my self a pro at all.

Enjoy the hell out of it, but just don't get to do it that often.

I'm an enthusiast.... even though we camp each year, its never enough to be "pro"
I wish I had that title!

Orchard has the right idea. Camping isn't supposed to be a serious business. The preparation is the serious part. Once you're camping, it's just fun.

No pro! It's a fun thing to do and we all enjoy it (family). Camping is supposed to fun and relaxing and we do a great job at that when we go. My family loves to go too - they would choose camping over an amusement park.
