What would prevent you from camping?

Is there anything that would prevent you from camping or exploring the outdoors? I could not imaging not doing things outside, gardening is my first passion but it all really goes hand in hand.

I think weather is the only reason I wouldn't camp..... if its too hot or too cold........ other then that I don't see any reason why we wouldn't. Oh and maybe lack of funds (money) because you can't camp in California without paying... hahah

If I were in northern Minnesota and it got to 50 below zero........I might not go camping.

If I were in Death Valley California and it got to 132 degrees.......I might not go camping.

Those are the only 2 examples I can think of.

I can think of a few situations that have stopped me in the past. One being severe weather and the second, being severe illness. My last pregnancy was pretty awful too and I hardly did anything outdoors because of it.

Oh yeah... I'll second the illness... no fun camping when sick

I threw my back out and it was awful but I still went camping, it just meant I had to drag more crap with me so that it made my camping trip easier on me.

I would agree weather is probably the only thing that would stop me from camping or being outdoors. I love being out and active in the great outdoors.

Bad weather, being sick, and official meetings are the circumstances that will hinder me from going to where I want to go for a leisure trip.

What I hate more than anything is having bad weather after arriving on the camp site.

Being sick from fever or if the weather is too hot prevents me from camping outdoors. I easily suffer from heat stroke and I'm prone to getting colds and headache.

I don't mind bad weather as it is a part of camping. It is true that it is hard camping on bad weather but at least I acquire the knowledge of how to survive in the wild. I just watched Castaway and I'm contemplating on camping on an island.

For me, the thing that will prevent from camping is when I don't have money.
