Default Watching TV?

My parents like to take the TV with them camping. Do you ever take yours? I can't imagine taking it as we are always pretty active when we are camping.

I get out into the woods to get away from things like that. Mine is a vote for not taking electronic entertainment into the woods.

I mean, I don't even listen to music when I'm in the woods. A TV would annoy me and get in the way of my destressing.

When we go out camping, we try to enjoy the beauty of nature while away from the media entertainment. We camp to relax and explore the wilderness, not to watch TV outdoors.

I do not take the TV with us when we go camping. My parents have a motor home and have one in it, but it is not on unless it rains.

No way! Where we go, their is no conveniences like electricity. We camp to get away from everything so we do! I can not imagine taking a TV with us, it is family boding time out in the wilderness for us.

We take a radio so we can tell if storms are coming, but would never take a TV. If it rains we either play board games or just talk.

Don't really see the point, since we move around a lot and we don't really have time to sit and watch tv, plus at night time there is a fire running and we gaze up at the stars so we are set as far as entertainment goes .

No, we don't even usually think about the tv when we are camping. With all the activities and fresh air during the day, when night falls the whole family is ready to crash for the evening.

BigBear, I feel the same way! We are go go going all day. By the time we get done for the day we are ready to pass out for the night.

I took one once many years ago on a fishing trip. Never even hooked it up.
