Anything wrong with the touring subforum or even travelogues?

Have a look at the no of posts on camping, that will tell you how popular camping is on here.

There's always been a fair few asking for sites, tents and other equipment.
Generally someone will have used what you are looking at using, and are able to help.

When I used to post on the cycling UK forum they had a subforum for camping under the Touring section. It just split posts across two fora.
I see no need for a sub forum.

you mean there's a lot?
if so where?
or very few?
if that well maybe could be because there seems to be nowhere to ask questions about general camping stuff - ie not linked to a specific ride.

Try Touring & Adventure Cycling.
Many have asked I'm in there already.

I would also welcome. Surely it can be accomodated in any sans tent threads anyway? Great to see peoples trips posted up with piccys

Looking through the pages of the touring and adventure sub section, there are a couple of the threads that stand out, like "What have you bought for the tent today", where folk have discussed and shown various bits of camping gear. It's certainly a place for more than just discussing routes and is probably the first place I'd post if I had a camping question.

If @HobbesOnTour managed to cycle/camp half way through the earth before Corona stopped him for a bit, and managed to report about it every day on here, I feel we're good on the subfora front

well from my reading/scanning of it that was a tour/ride report (a fine one for sure) - not a general discussion area - in fact mr hobbes asked for there to be no discussion on the tour thread.
(was probably afraid of "boring" gear questions )

@Petrichorwheels if you want to discuss camping, gear, etc, you could open a camping thread in the hobbies section.
Meantime, I'll tag @Shaun the forum's owner, so he's aware of your request.

ta pat
tho "hobbies" sounds a tad fringe/nerdy - kinda like collecting bolivian stamps/cheese labels.
as I said I think camping and cycling are rather more closely related.
I'd see it as as a subset of cycle-touring etc.

This section is pretty quiet already so I wouldn't want it split further. I think it works fine as it is.
