Around 1960 to 1962, on my family's tent camping trips to remote locations in the Arkansas Ozarks, I would help my dad set up his Drake 2-A receiver, Multi-Elmac AF-67 AM transmitter, and 80m dipole in the trees. Power was from a military surplus 120 vac 300 watt generator (run only if no body was camped nearby).
When I got out of the Navy 37 years ago, I immediately returned to Arkansas campsite ham ops with the new TS-120S, MFJ tuner, and deep-discharge battery. (Most of the areas my family had camped years earlier had become the Buffalo National River. I return there every Fall that circumstances allow.) This type of ham operations will always be my favorite use of radio. My now-defunct K1 had been my principal camp rig since 2001. I'd like to replace it with a KX2 immediately. But the KX2 has no schematics for the customer, so that prevents my purchase.
