To me, recalling my Boy Scout years and experiences in western Kansas,
eastern Colorado, and South Dakota, camping meant sleeping out under the
stars or in tent. It didn't require backpacking. Oh, and I don't recall
mentioning a tour bus...is that part of your fantasy? The tent we stayed
in was a tad smaller than the one in the photo you provided.

.......
No transport and no pac? But yet you set up a tent? Sumpin just ain't right....


I had a duffel with my stuff. The scout leaders had the camping gear.
Setting up a pup tent was well within my abilities, though I appreciate
that you probably had to have help.

Pup tent? Nothing magic to setting one up. I didn’t mess with one very much. The easiest that doesn’t require much help is to throw on a M-65 rain poncho and liner and lean up against a tree. Better than a pup tent ⛺️ In monsoon rains.
