Indian fakirs like to tortore themselves and subdue their flesh by sleeping on a bed of nails. In North America we achieve the same painful end by going on camping trips. Of course, the veteran camping wife knows what is ahead of her, which is why she has been secretly sharpening her machete and going over her survival course notes since Easter. Se hasn‘t made up her mind yvet whether to leave home, or stay and make sure that her husband accidentally breaks his leg beâ€" fore the trip. But it is the wife who has been camping before who neds help. This poor deceived female really believes what her husband and the tentâ€"salesman tell her about camping and she can hardly wait to get back to the simple life that apparently lies just around the corner. What she doesn‘t know is that the simple life is considerably more complicated than living at home and not half as comfortable. In fact, camping is only just tolerâ€" able if the sun shines every day and no one kicks a moose by mistake or falls into the poison ivy. But it never does â€" and they always do, if you know what I mean. But you don‘t have to wait until you get there for the dis advantages to become apparent. It starts before you even leave home and whoever said, "You can‘t take it with you" had never been camping, because they will try to There is perhaps some excuse for the four year old wanting to take his teddyâ€"bear and his favourite saucepan lid, but does your teenâ€"ager really need her portable hair drier,. her evelash curlers and her album of Beatle photos? And is it essential that your husband take along his old copies of "Playboy" and his golf clubs? This suggests that he is either going to loll around camp, looking at the Playmate of the Month with this tongue hanging out and comparing your frontal development unfavourably with hers, or else that he inâ€" tends to slope off to the nearest golf club when the going gets tough. You must be ruthless in this situation â€" see that the the same painful end by going on camping trips. _Of course, it is hardly fair to make comparisons â€" the fakir only makes himself miserable, but the camping enthusiast isn‘t happy until he involves the whole family. He seems to feel that camping, like salvation, is good for everyone. As for the bed of ‘mails, only nonâ€"campers could consider this the ultimate in discomfort because they‘ve never tried to share a wet sleepingâ€" bag with two small children and a maddened earwig. Or had to put on a damp bra every morning. Or woken up to find they‘re being walked over by a skunk. In fact, for a really challenging ordeal which forms character â€" and grounds for divorce â€" theer is nothing like the family camping trip. Men are usually the ones who first succumb to the call of the wild. This is because any man secretly yearns to return to the days when his greatâ€"grandaddy swung through the forest, beating his hairy chest and cuffing his wives. He thinks that as soon as they get back to the wild blue yonder, his efficient, allâ€"purpose, loving modern wife will turn into an obedient squaw who will be content to walk ten paces behind him, carrying the papoose and the outboard motor. But the superiority of men really becomes obvious in their approach to camping. Men are born executives â€" they make all the big daring decisions of the holiday, such as whether to start Friday night or Saturday morning and how to keep the beer cool, and leave the women to look after all the other minor details Men conhider that this is a fair division of labour and it certainly is efficient â€" it enâ€" sures that everyone knows who to blame if something goes wrong.

The mother dares not think about what might happen to her children if she becomes to ill to work, for even a short time. The mother and children are living in an extremely damp, cold ground floor room that does not have even a window. Any light or air they get has to filter in through the open door. And for this miserable room, By JOAN SEAGER four year old leaves his teddyâ€"bear at home. ue But assuming that you get the car packed without biting anyone or trapping the dog‘s tail in the door, you‘re off. At least, you‘re off after you‘ve turned back to leave a stowaway goldfish at home. "No, but you didn‘t say I couldn‘t bring him . . ." So you‘re off â€" again â€" and you have nothing to do now but relax until you get there. Of course, you will have to feed the children, tell them how much further it is every five minutes, pour out coffee for your husband, read the map ("I did tell you we had to turn off five miles back, dear, but you said the map was drong", keep the children quiet and amused ("No, I don‘t want to play counting black dogs because I didn‘t win last time and everyone cheated except me and you wouldn‘t let me cheat") hold someone‘s head out of the window and get the right change ready for the tollâ€"keepers who seem to hate all tourists but esâ€" pecially you, but this will give you plenty of time to relax and reflect that whoever said it‘s better to travel than to arrive, was off his nut. Finally, you arrive at the campâ€"site, but however attractive it looks, you know now what you can expect. The worst. Although your husband insists that he brought you camping, so that you could have a good rest from housekeeping and enjoy yourself, it doesn‘t quite work out like that. It‘s true that you won‘t have to polish the floor or dust the ants, but there‘s more cooking because the fresh air makes everyone eat like a pregnant elephant, nd thaere‘s just s much washing which, if you‘re not near a laundromat, will have to be done by hand â€" and you know whose. And you aren‘t exactly free of parental responâ€" sibilities. I mean. someone had to bind up the children‘s horsefly bites, see that they don‘t swim out too far, amuse them when it‘s too wet or too cool to go to the beach, keep them from falling out of the rowingâ€"boat, answer questions like "Does God have an aunt?", decide who is telling the truth about the broken sunâ€" tan lotion and stop the waves from coming in and destroying their sandâ€"castles. Naturally, you won‘t have to do all this singleâ€" handed; most men can build a sandâ€"castle and untangle a fishingâ€" line, but these duties usually leve them so exhausted that it‘s not surprising if they have to go into the tent and lie down again. There are two aspects of camping more horrendous than the rest; one is the comfort station, which is a euphemism for a wooden but which contains cold water, toilets and washâ€"basins, but no comfort. There are also rude notices forbidding you to scatter toilet paper or leave the light on. Even if you have never wantorly ripped up toilet paper or left lights on before, these notices leave you with a mad urge to do so, especially on wet afternoons. The other thing that your husband didn‘t mention was the long camping evenings, you can‘t go out and leave the kids every night and you can‘t sit outside the tent and read because it‘s too cool or too mosquitoey, so that leaves no alternative but to go to bed abut 8 o‘clock and try not to worry about the populaâ€" tion explosion. It says much for the noble character of woman that though she lies awake night after night, listening for rattlesnakes and fighting a strange desire to go into the washroom and scatter toilet paper on the floor, she does not often go berserk. I mean, how many husbands are found stabbed in tents during the campâ€" ing season? Not enough.
