People do that a lot out here. Up in Copper Ridge (govt. worker suburbia) each house is neatly accompanied by a camper/truck and trailer. Not only is it the American Dream to hitch up your trailer and drive to the Last Great Frontier, it is also a Canadian Dream, apparently. But you have to be living here already.
If you are younger, maybe not quite as stable as the govt. folks...you camp out by the lakes - Snafu, or maybe the Carcross desert. With shabby tents that leak water or sand, bottles of booze and a fire, what more could you want?
(I'm not much of a camping person, every time seems worse than the last...and no amount of alcohol can make me forget it!)
And I know someone (older and established) who just bought a brand-new truck and trailer to begin their Great Voyage. Hmmm must be comfortable with debt loads as well as camping!
Here's hoping this shit weather warms up to at least 'normal'. Jesus.
