The smart camper will find out the objections of the camping-hater and try to alleviate them. Is the tent too cold? Buy the best rated sleeping bag or a safe little tent heater. Buy hand-warmers and place them inside the sleeping bag. Does the food taste like charcoal? Get a portable stove and some pans. Do the mosquitoes bother your spouse too much? Mosquito Coils and insect repellent is obviously the answer.

If someone could just invent the perfect gadget that turns a camping hater into an adventure lover, they could probably make a fortune. With online marketing, they could be sold worldwide. People have been camping all over the world since man first evolved.

What would be the perfect product to turn your camp-hater into an adventure lover? A little consideration for your spouse goes a long way. If your spouse would rather read a book than hike, take along a comfy camp chair or lounge. If they really hate campfire smell, offer to do the cooking over a propane stove. With a little preparation, you can turn your love of camping into a family adventure.
