I'm all for camping. My family did it when I was a teenager, and I enjoyed
it. But camping and lacemaking out of doors sounds like a really bad idea.
You may hit a 5 day stretch of good weather. But I spent about 8 years
doing outdoor craft shows every summer. When bad weather hits you have a
disaster of major proportions. It is not physical discomfort to the person
at issue. It is destruction to one's equipment caused by wind which is the
worst. Or rain soaking into the pillow. Or a thunderstorm so intense that
the tent pegs come loose from the ground and the whole tent or canopy
collapses, with attendant damage to books, pillow, prickings, metal tools
which get wet and rust. This happened to the family tent one year. We spent
the night in the car. Bad weather was due to continue. So we left. At
home, drying out the tent and all the sleeping mats and such was a nightmare
because summers are so humid. At the craft show high winds took the entire
canopy down. At another, heavy rain leaked inside my glass display cases
and ruined the velvet pads.
