My dream would be to work 6 months out of the year, and going solo camping for 8 weeks a year, and spend the rest with my wife... 
Solo camping

Your never alone with schizophrenia. I'd love to go solo, but it's the voices they never stop.
It's nice to go solo occasionally, but it's better with a friend or two.

I have a few kindred spirits whose company I enjoy, and I like time with my family. But my favorite treks tend to be either solo or with my dog. There's a completely different feel to them.
Wild camping as the title suggests without the luxuries of modern living that's how I see it. the less talk the better as far as im concerned just soak in the atmosphere and then move on it cant be beaten.....I love it. the only reason I take a companion is for H&Smy missus insists I have wild camped most of the pentlands and lowlands
I love talk out in the wilds, sitting round the fire after a hard day. We talk about everything, last time, the few things I can remember include quantum physics, politics, philosophy, religion, sex, as well as the usual banter.
Anywhichway is good for me as each has its own blessings.
By 'man's best friend' I assume that to mean a fine 15 year old single malt, while 'other' really intrigues me.

Where is the box for "All of the above" on the poll?
It all depends on what mood I am in I suppose.
I am confident in my abilities and comfortable alone, so solo wild camping is always an option.
Equally, I often take my family (car) camping in summer. We have been known to spend 3 or 4 weeks camping whilst other families come and spend a few days with us, in rotation!
Both of my kids are now owners of DD hammocks - so I see more of my "solo" type trips having company in the future!

I mainly spend it with one of my mate and his two lads but also go out in a group or by myself.
Not really bothered if i'm on my own or with someone else, as long as i've got my shrafting juice and a fire i'll be in my elephant!!!

I'd love to Solo camp but haven't got anyone to go with.
You need to join up with the solo camping group then.
Mostley just with 1 or 2 friends.
Im to unsocial to go with a group very often
Still building up to a solo bushcraft trip but have camped solo for years in all sorts of places.

As the husband doesn't want to come along, I happily go when he's away for work.
I voted "with mans best friend", and these two best friends are the dogs

Who are you to judge?
Nah, just kidding, you got me, I meant to say when with my friends.
I like solo camping but I'm like others on here usually surrounded by scouts either adult, younger or family and its just great fun to be outside what ever the weather

Hope the dog carried his own cushion in
My paddling partner, a lab, uses a karimat. Nice a light for me to lug in.Nick
I prefer to go solo camping. It's a challenge for me at times, active imagination, but when I settle down it is the most peaceful experience ever. I learn more about what it is to be alive when I go alone than with others.
Well, I have my collie with me too, does that still count as solo?

if i'm looking for some solitude/time on my own then i happily got out for a walk/hike, but after 1/2 a day i have had my fun and tend to head home...
if i am going to be camping then i like to be with a small group of friends sat around a small fire if possable.....

I usually go with 1 or 2 friends, i have been by myself once and was overly paranoid about noises etc but after a while got used to it and enjoyed it, read a book, cook up some grub, went away for a few days with my girlfriend recently, her sleeping bag zip broke the last night (it snowed) she wasnt amused!!
