Camping describes a general range of activities. Survivalist campers decisive off with cramped more than their boots, whereas recreational vehicle travelers arrive equipped with their own electricity, heat, and patio furniture. Camping may be an end unto itself, but often it is done in conjunction with other activities, such as hiking, hill walking, climbing, canoeing, butte biking, swimming, and fishing. It may be combined with hiking either as backpacking or as a classification of day hikes from a central location.
