Alternatively... spending yourself poor to make it look like you've got lots of money.

Too funny...our family thinks we are always taking the cheap way out when we meet for various trips because we will haul the RV and stay at a campground...if they only knew the crazy (total) expense associated with RV'ing! LOL

i also do the minimalist, ultralight, survival camp stuff where my pack for a 3 day weekend (including food - find and filter water on the way) weighs in under 16 lbs good for weather down to 40F. i have camped outdoors down past -14F sleeping by the fire.

my buddies call that camping. they call what i do in the rv remote backyard picnicking. lol... there;s some truth to that...

that first picture the OP posted rings true to both extremes of camping i do... the ultralight and high tech gear is crazy expensive... but it works well.
