A few months ago, an Instagram post with the caption "we need not be pagans" sparked a surprisingly large conversation about how we sleep outdoors.
The truth is, the line between camping and glamping has never been blurrier. New gear companies are building tents that weigh less than two pounds but feel like hotel rooms. Sleeping pads that inflate themselves. Coffee kits that rival your local café.
The question isn't whether this is "real" camping. It's whether the experience of being outside should be about suffering or about connection.
