There’s plenty of us! Look for someone from the suburbs or from a rural area. Men with parents who enjoyed camping will pass it on to their kids themselves. Your problem might be your location or the social network you operate in.

Try to hook up with a group of people who like to do outdoor type of things for the summer. Check out clubs that have summer houses, for example. They may be doing windsurfing, surfing, sailing, etc. Connect with ski clubs and find out what programs they have for the summer. Check out hiking clubs. Make the connection based on your interests. You will find the men.

Or you can take an adventure vacation organized by someone else and meet people there. Once I went on a trail riding vacation in the Canadian Rockies. We camped out in tee-pees. Check with the tourist bureau around Banf or Calgary.

Or take a learn to sail course on your vacation, like with an outfit like this: http://www.offshore-sailing.com/ In some places there are clubs of people who race their sailboats on weekends. Some of those people need crew that is reliable and will show up.

Or research other clubs– for example the Appalachian Mountain Club.
Don’t be afraid to go on vacation by yourself if you go with an organized group.

I’m around, but taken… sorry.

If you make it to Puget sound and the islands, drop me a note, I’ll take you fishing.

There are still some of them left. You just have to go “fishing”!

I love the outdoors, however I haven’t been able to camp/hike yet because I live in Florida and the trails here kind of suck. Also I need more money. I was planning on hiking the Colorado Trail this summer but I don’t think I will have enough money.
