Hey everyone, just wondering how you guys break down your time in base camp and on the trail. Do you travel in the evening and set up a base camp so you can get an early start on the trail in the morning? Base camp every night and just do day hikes? Or does it all depend on what kind of people you're with?

I like to enjoy some creature comforts when I'm camping out of the car. I think I'm going to start bringing my laptop going forward so I can write a blog entry on my latest trip and look at pictures from the digital camera. I also have a queen size air mattress that I've never used, but I think I'm going to start bringing it with me from time to time.

What kind of stoves do y'all use? Or do you just use cast iron over an open fire? I'm getting a modular propane Camp Chef stove for Christmas with two burners. I wonder with all of these creature comforts if I'm going to eventually get a campground trailer or gasp... an RV. I don't see it happening, but I also never thought I'd consider using a large air mattress while camping (I purchased it for when my Dad comes to NC to visit over the holidays).
