Only tangentially truck related, but last Saturday the cub scouts had a campout in my back yard. They had to put up their own tents, cook their own food over the fire, and generally have fun, overnight.
I decided it would be fun to skip the tent so me and my kid slept out under the stars, like men.
My truck was nearby in case the raccoons attacked and I needed to shuttle kids to the hospital for rabies shots.
The were heard out in the darkness, but the raccoons did not attack that night. The fact I kept the fire blazing all night may have kept them at bay.

How are they supposed to have fun doing that?

Stayed up late running through the property looking for the snakes I told them were out there (there aren't... many), flashlight hide and seek, making s'mores. The usual stuff if you didn't have a shitty childhood.

I'll take four walls, a ceiling, and an oven.

And A/C. And a good internet connection.

A scoutmaster's idea of 'camping fun' was usually telling me that a bobcat was waiting to get me outside and watching me sprint to the latrine whenever I had to pee at night.
I will admit to enjoying the array of large, heavy sticks nature offers. Something about a ready bludgeon in your hand makes you feel good.

Oh, that reminds me, I made the boys dig a hole in which to piss and shit.
They thought it was pretty cool.

Seems like the sort of thing civilization was invented to combat.

No, that's the first tier of civilization -- not shitting where you eat.

Most animals are smart enough to do that. That's not civ.

Then it's weird that humans weren't for a long time.

By the way, the original intent of this thread was meant to be nothing more that braggadocio chest thumping using some modern internet vernacular, as a goof, but then I detected some of you, in this thread and elsewhere, may have been taking offense to it.
Man up, nancy boys.
Here's what the NY Times says is manly. I read it... basically it says modern men are women.

I can't tell if that's satire or not?

The modern man won’t blow 10 minutes of his life looking for the best parking spot. He finds a reasonable one and puts his car between the lines.
Guess G likes wasting his time looking for parking spots in manic bouts of George Costanza-like OCD.

Since we want to slam,
1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.
I think Malcolm doesn't have this problem, he gots that shit memorized.

20. On occasion, the modern man is the little spoon. Some nights, when he is feeling down or vulnerable, he needs an emotional and physical shield.
Especially when he has sympathetic PMS cramps.

You have to pick something that's at least plausible. I usually have to look at the tag on my old pair to remember my size. Lastly, if I bought footwear as a gift, it'd be something in this vein:
