I've camped for 5 days in the Adirondacks each year for the past 3 years, spent more time there in the past when I was summer camp outdoor staff from 2015-2018 prior to that. Camping is so cheap and comfy, it's absurd not to do it.

This year my campsite reservation Sunday to Friday was $120, food was somewhere under $100 for me and my gf to have dry and cold/cookable food, gas was roughly $100, brought my parents back some food from Lake Placid for $30 plus ate out for that night for roughly $75, rented a canoe for a day and self transported it to Lake Saranac for $50, $40 on mini golf when we were too tired from hikes to do much else. $415 for two people to have 6 days of camping with plenty of extras that could be taken away, once a year, is totally acceptable to me.

Simultaneously, I was in Cancun for a wedding in May and idk how people pay the kind of $ for a decent resort there yearly. The flight there in normie class seats was about $650 alone, room was $1200 for 3 nights, airport shuttle service was about $50, plus airport food was maybe $50 ontop of that. I get the wastefulness of many types of vacations if you see this as the standard vacation. A hair under $2000 for one three night trip where I can't really leave the resort, or $415 trip to white people land where I can plan my entire trip out my way and have way more fun.
