Professional Bivin

...The opposite of glamping (glamorous camping) = Bum livin'

That is what my friends and I decided was the best way to describe our way of life. Our realization of this fact came during one of our camping trips to Rumney, NH to go climbing. We paid for a campsite, then when the owner came to do rounds, told us that we could camp at the actual campsite (some distance from the car)... Apparently setting up a tarp in the dirt and cooking over a pop can stove wasn't something that she saw very often.

Other ways to biv-it-up: make pancakes for dinner, then eat them on the floor because you don't have chairs, or generally choose the most uncomfortable and hardcore option in every situation. Oh, and using an XL raincoat as a rope bag qualifies.
