Funny Camping Hats

Camping is the only holiday people pay for in order to be less comfortable than they are at home. There is the tent, the sleeping pad, the cooler, the stove, the site booked months ahead, and then a night spent on a rock that was not in the photos. Patrick McManus called it a fine and pleasant misery, and Dave Barry noted that rainstorms will travel thousands of miles for the chance to rain on a tent. Both of them were right, and every camper is already planning the next trip. These funny camping hats belong to the person who does it anyway. The one who pays good money to sleep on the ground and calls it a vacation. The one in charge of the campfire, who built it, feeds it, pokes it every ninety seconds with a stick and would rather nobody helped. And the one the campfire smoke follows wherever they move their chair, who has decided it is a compliment. They make good camping gifts, and they work as real camp hats: embroidered, unstructured dad hats that keep the sun off at the lake and survive a weekend smelling like woodsmoke.
