Reasons to Share a Tent

“You're afraid of the boogie man!”

“Because you've deluded yourself into thinking that some sweet young thing (who's too naive to realize that being married doesn't necessarily neuter a man, and has therefore agreed to share a tent with you on a backpacking trip) might actually be interested in you and you can score some sweet young thing nookie!”

“I forgot to add GOOD to the front of the thread title

as in GOOD ENOUGH TO TELL YOUR SIG OTHER!”

“1. your house burned down.
2. your house is not even three season.
3. this particular tent is in Manhattan, you need a roommate to split the rent.”

“Will she go for that?”

“LMFAO Corporal!!!!!


8P”

“1. Honey, I want you to know before you hear it from someone else. I shared a tent with someone else because...”

“'we're just friends' sounds so LAME!

lol CN”

“... because the motel was full.”

“My wife? HA!

The last words I'd hear in my life would be, "How the hell do you reload this thing?"”

“'because of weight' isn't safe either. She might think you're referring to her hips”

“The dude with the colt .45 gave you a choice...

Not to mention all that duct tape he used...”

“1. Because yelling "STEAMROLLER!" and rolling over the person next to you isn't as effective with jsut one person.

2. If a bear decides to enter your tent at night, with two people it's easier to arrange your sleeping bags so you'll look like Mothra and make wierd Mothra sounds to scare the bear away.. don't forget to point out the twin girls with the high pitched voices to the bear, which you've cleverely placed in a tree branch earlier.

3. You're afraid you'll get a ticket if you only sleep one person in a two-man tent.”

“1. Your farts aren't wasted.
2. The extra person and gear will muffle your snoring.
3. When you come back from the midnite toilet you can wipe your feet on their sleeping bag.
4. You can leave your tent at home.”

“Because sleeping ultralight under a tarp has disadvantages in a driving rainstorm at 2:00 a.m.”

“For the sake of the thread. Rarely does Biz start a topic.
Reasons I can think of off hand... But would probably never use!

Saving weight is a very poor excuse that would never fly! Unless you were climbing Everest or K2.

1.) emergencies
2.) Sex with someone attractive
3.) Sex in the Wild
4.) Wild Sex
5.) Loud sex that can be heard for miles (warning, can freak out the other campers)
6.) Tent destroying sex (warning, can be expensive)
7.) Outside sex. (watch out for the mosqitoes)
8.) I met you on the trail and I will never see you again sex.

And last but not least!
9.) Because she is bigger and badder and can protect the tent so I can sleep........

Reasons not to share a tent or evict the person your sharing with.

1.) snores like a bear....
2.) moves around all night
3.) Does not want to bath
4.) problems with flatulence
5.) talks all night
6.) Hogs the floor space
7.) Wants my bag
8.) Wants my thermo rest
9.) Aids and other social items
10.)Wakes up every hour to pee and needs company to watch out for her

And last but not least!
11.) Makes me carry the whole tent.

Hmmm, I am still undecided!”

“I guess I should add another reason not too share a tent.

12.) accidently roll over in your sleep and press against the person.
(You could get your face smashed)

Please keep in mind the impending death that is probable when we return to the Spouse or SO.”

“Who needs a reason?”

“Well,..... it`s like this,... I somehow left my tent out of my pack at the trailhead when I repacked my pack and we shuttled our rigs down to the take out point.

Along about dark we started getting ready to make camp and guess what?

You`re good at this guessing thing sweetie,..did I ever tell you that before,..cause you sure are, you know it. Maybe there`s a future for you in telling the future, or guessing folks weight, if that job of your`s flippin` burgers doesn`t pan out like you think it will:)

So there I am on the back side of nowhere, almost dark thirty and it`s starting to rain so, sleeping out under the stars is out of the question. There`s two folks there that each have two man tents and they both offer up a spot for me during the trip.

WELL,...this one guy that offered to let me share his tent, he kept saying stuff about rocks and wild stuff,...OH,... and get this,.. his name was Crazy Mike!! No tellin` how that woulda turned out so, I took up the other offer I got and made do and did swell:)”

“I wasn`t done with that, but I guess you can get a crayon and draw your own dirty pictures;)”

“Because it's with newgirl?
















j/k, my wife would kill me for sure.”

“I can do anything I want to because I'm not married and don't have a significant other at the moment, and I don't have to explain myself to anybody because it's my business and none of theirs.

Dam that felt good!”

“You're bitter and alone because you have been banned.”

“Banned maybe, but not married.”

“Sex and sex and sex and sex and SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Squeeze my lemon till the juices run down my leg”

“because i have a bigger knife then them!!

thats all the reason i need . right wolfmans brother???”

“'cause Mr. Rogers says its nice to share.”

“Because the lady with the llamas who had a couple of people's tents took the wrong turn and ended up miles from the rest of us when it came to beddy-bye time.

I must be the most naive person in the world. I have never felt uncomfortable with sharing my tent with anyone nor sharing that information with my significant other. I go along with someone else's post on the other thread about how I am all stinky and in my sleeping bag and so is the other person and who cares, anyway? Now I find out that I have given some good friends a frustrating sleep by sharing a tent. Or maybe these good friends find me unattractive.....”

“I might think twice about sharing a tent with gojo - I hear that Sarabelle snores.”

“banned - married
whats the difference?”

“Big difference! I might be banned, but I can share a tent with anybody I want to and do whatever we want.”

If it's naiveté, you're not alone. I don't understand the fuss, either. I've shared tents with m & f and never felt uncomfortable. Quite the opposite, it's comfortable, and fun to share. Enlarges the experience.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I want - "Dare To Be Naive"”

“I've never shared a tent with a woman, but I have spent a couple of nights in shelters. Never had any problems, even when I was sleeping right next to a woman.”

“If you are lucky enough to get someone to go with you, and to share the weight of your tent, then I say "Go For It!!"
Male or female, who really cares? My wife knows my only female hiking partner, and really don't care that I share a tent with her.”

“Ok-
They carried the tent-
They are a newbie & don't have one.
THEY CUT FIREWOOD-
I've shared too with all three sexes-If they are cool it is the right thing to do.”
