Wow...single camper issues.

Never thought about that scenario.

I think it is acceptable for any parent to have reservations about anything that makes them feel wary no matter if rational or not. It's called judgement and the word itself has negative connotations.

What is very wrong is to express those issues verbally in such a manner described.

I would hope this is not the norm.

For all the humour and emojis - I do get regarded with suspicion voiced loudly enough for me to consider it a hint to leave. (I don't.) It's getting worse - to the extent the summer is not camping time for the likes of me anymore.

Why would you be wary or make any kind of judgment - snap or not? I can only assume there is some history of ne'er do well lone campers I'm unaware of. Could someone please tell me what the problem is as I'm actually getting quite fed up with it.

Tigermouse - I work with people who are straight, gay, lesbian, trans and everything else. I admit to having learned the hard way about not making assumptions. Apologies for casting any doubt over your gender. Such is the nature of net anonymity...

I sincerely wanted to leave this and let the thread move on but I have to respond to the above.

I almost see your point but have to disagree. My experience is caused by unfounded bigotry. To agree with you would be like saying it's OK to be racist or homophobic so long as you don't say so too loudly.
