Im just a day tripper anymore. I quite frankly dont enjoy primitive camping anymore, and I dont have the money to buy an outfit that would make my wife and me happy and comfortable. Also I really like my house, lol. No shame, Im honestly on this message board mostly because I think the community is great.

Haven't done any roadtrips this year as most of my money have been spent fixing my car, next year though.. Next year I have 2 roadtrips out of Norway planned.

Just weekends. I have to spread out different types of vacations and weekend get-always. They all can’t be just overlanding/camping. We mix it up with resort vacations, amusement parks, beach holidays, kids events etc.

Now that is is 2020, we are more like a 1/3rd'er. We average 100 plus nights a year. I just don't like staying home.

I can say MOST of what i do would be weekends. However I usually get 1 or 2 week long trips a year, last year too a week to go to Pennsylvania and wheel Rausch Creek from a starting point just north of Toronto Canada eh! I also usually attend an event once a year where I head a few hours north and set up camp for about 4 -5 days and hit a different trail each day, come back at night and have beer with a bunch of other folks doing the same thing.

Personally I would love to see more trip planning. I have been to meetups and would love to go on group trips. Just haven't had the oppurtunity. Hopefully soon.

In the summer we do week long trips with 1 or 2 that are up to 10 days. We do a few of them each summer. The rest of the year we are weekend warriors, I guess.

Right now we are just day-trippers. Hit up one of the local forest service roads, cook up lunch or dinner, then head home.

Mostly a weekender but try to get out on a longer trips at least once or more a year. Family and work just typically prevent anything more than that. I'm trying to get myself positioned retirement wise to be able to do it full time but that's at least 17 years away lol.

I would consider us weekenders. We get out every weekend to some extent. Our jobs and children keep us from many extended trips although we make 2 weeklong and 3 extended weekend trips a year.
