Ask a rock climber

[Catholic_Lady]

I've never been camping so I don't know the first thing. How do you handle the food situation? I'm assuming not all camps have a place where you can go and buy meals. Do you have to drive out of the camp site every day to get food? Or do you just live on canned food, granola bars, etc for a while?

You've never been camping?? Wow. That is so strange to me. I mean I grew up camping for sometimes the entire summer. So with food normally you just bring in as many supplies as you can from town at a time. I mean normally you want to go back to town at least once a week anyway to get on the internet or take a shower or whatever people want to do. I mean I'm in town right now redecorating the RV and playing on Atheist forums, then I'll be back in the park for a bit and back out or whatever. Rarely do I eat canned food. I mean most climbers are health conscious and have good diets, probably far better then your average American. It's very common to make group dinners with other climbers.  Also Americans refrigerate food that people in other countries don't, for example eggs.

So you buy fresh whole foods once a week and keep them in the refrigerator of your RV? How would you handle that if you were living in a tent or in a truck that didn't have a fridge? I imagine eggs can only do so much when you're super hungry.  

(And nah to camping. I like doing nature stuff during the day, but when night comes I'd like a decent hotel room where I can shower and take a dump. I know RVs and cabins have all that, but I'd rather just take a nice hotel.)
