My wife enjoys the odd day hike with me. #s 4 and 11 might be a bit of a concern at times though. She suffers from asthma and that can make climbing hills difficult. She has no interest in staying out in a tent or tarp overnight when we have a perfectly good motorhome. Thirty one years ago we honeymooned in a tent and it leaked on her side <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I do meet a lot of women on the trails. Sometimes they are in organized groups of a dozen or so. Therefore I would not tar them all with the same brush. I have a friend who really doesn’t like camping, at all, but his wife on the other hand, is very outdoorsy.
