I am well past those sleeping bag nights, but you are fit and at the right age to get those last few grasp of remote life in. I always had a good time away from all the hustle and bustle, and am enjoying the comforts now of retired life. My body is well past the stage of just going for it, but I would love to be able to do it one more time. So when you leave and then come back to tell us all about it I'll be reading and remembering those days of walking away and camping in the wild. Freeze dried foods taste a lot better than they did 20 years ago.
I'm seriously considering buying a trailer with my yet to be bought Gold Wing. That way I can do 'big camping'. A tent and a cot and a sleeping bag :) Should be room for a propane burner or two, also.
Those trailers must hold a pretty good amount of gear, at least enough for three people, I have seen several small groups over the summer where at least one or two in the group have a trailer.
I still use my swag on trips but my camper trailer has a queen sized mattress so there's no sleeping bag nights when I take that with me.
I'll be honest and say that I still really enjoy the more basic trips but it's also good to have creature comforts.
And they make it so easy for creature comforts now-a-days, with solar collectors, generators, and all the other comforts available, even the dehydrated food is pretty tasty compared to yesteryear.
Yeah, I've had some pretty good dehydrated food although my camper has an on-board fridge/freezer, as does my 4x4, so It's fresh food all the way. Lol.
