• If you go out on the Appalachian Trail, you have to bring so much more equipment - a tent, sleeping bag - but if you go hiking in England, or Europe, generally, towns and villages are near enough together at the end of the day you can always go to a nice little inn and have a hot bath and something to drink.

• You go to London, you see a TV set in every cell and the sign up that all the officers must treat prisoners with dignity.

• Only in Southern California do camping grounds actually have wifi, so I was sitting in my tent and I started reading it on my computer, and I couldn't put it down.

• From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night,
  The hum of either army stilly sounds,
  That the fixed sentinels almost receive
  The secret whispers of each other's watch.
  Fire answers fire, and through their play flames
  Each battle sees the other's umbered face.
  Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs
  Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents
  The armorers accomplishing the knights,
  With busy hammers closing rivets up,
  Give dreadful note of preparation.

  William Shakespeare

Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job?
