Camping as a Lifestyle: Part 2

But wait, you say.  You can't live in a tent all the time.  What about the kids?  How are you going to stay warm? Cook?  Sleep?  Shower?  This is not how people live.
My response:
People have actually lived in tents for a very long time.  We are not exactly trying something that has never been done before.  Kids have lived with these people, and they do fine.  Our particular kids are excited to be living the camping lifestyle.  They look forward to being outside more, and learning how to cook over an open campfire.
Warmth:  We already own a tent heater, and we are currently looking at some alternatives, like woodstoves and other types of heating.  We will have nice comfy sleeping bags, and will be investing in cots.
We have a two burner camping stove, and some nights we will cook over a fire.
We are joining the YMCA, so we can shower there, as well as swim and workout.  We will be clean.  : )
I am looking forward to not having to maintain an entire house, and having time to write and play with my kids.  October 1 is the date!  Those of you in the Prescott area, come to our yardsale September 23 and 24!
