How many nights camping out in 2011?

[ex member coconino]

Use this thread to keep your running total of nights camping out in 2011. It's not a competition, just for fun. To boost our totals I reckon we should include any nights spent in a tent or hammock, under a tarp, in a bivi, whatever, even if it's festivals or in the garden, as long as it's not in a building, caravan or trailer.

I'll kick off:

6

A massive total of zero, nul, nuffin, nadda, not a jot so far for yours truly...

2 so far.
January - Hammock - Back Garden
Febuary - Hammock - Wood I have permission to use
March - Bivi - Back Garden

My new years resolution was to sleep out at least once a month so should have at the minimum 12 here by the end of the year.

5 nights so far,all in the woods.
would have been more but winter hillwalking and playing with me ice axe took priority.

 

[sapper1]

About 15 nights so far but hoping to up my monthly average.

 

[Woody110]

I have 30 nights planed between now and mid August.
I am also hoping to get another 10-15 in before August.

And all that with a three year old. I must be mad!!!

There might be an interesting formula here

Total spend year-to-date on bushcraft gear

I just worked out that I spent 44 nights out last year, if I include five at Big Chill festi. The other 39 were out and about in woods or fields. I doubt I'll do that many that this year but I can always hope.

I've only had a couple of outings so far and they were both to bothies. Biving this weekend though.

 

[treadlightly]

Five so far, one more this weekend

Just the one so far. Although it was nearly -30 that night, so does it count double?

 

[SimonD]

3 and counting. 1 planned for March tho...

 

[gordonmac]

Just the one night in Glen Feshie back in Jauary

Yes it probably should! Coldest I've camped in was certainly below -8, which was what someone's thermometer read next day. My friend reckoned it was -12, which I could believe. But -30! Brrrr!

Re the bothies, above, I reckon they should count at least half, it doesn't seem fair to leave them out. Honestly, folks should count what they think qualifies within the spirit of the thing. If someone's hiked all day though hail and thistles to reach a draughty caravan, who am I to say that shouldn't count?

[bivouac]

Oh dear. This is one of those threads that is going to make me feel very self-conscious. I haven't slept outside at all yet this year but i'm telling myself that it's quality not quantity that counts.
