I'm an outdoors guy. No one can argue that. However, I started taking my kid with me and I can't get him in to the nature boat when we go camping (night hikes, night fishing). He usually has his ipod or psp with him to watch movies and secludes himself pretty much after fishing.
I finally gave in and bought a little gadget that at least allows me to join him on his technology run. It is a portable projector I got for pretty cheap.
It doesn't work too well in the daylight but we have a portable way of watching movies in the tent when it gets dark out.
Personally, I think technology should be left out of camping. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even bring food on my camping trips. What are your guys' thoughts on this?
I think that its fine for family stuff if its necessary - its male bonding time. I take him to nature, he takes me to technology.
it doesn't work incredibly well with the lights on but its not bad. its a lot better with the lights off or closer to the wall (smaller picture)
