I totally disagree!  Women are way happier campers :)

1: Our bodies are equipped to handle pregnancy, so we have a higher pain 
tolerance...sore legs, feet, etc....nothing compared to giving birth.  Men never 
get pregnant, well women generally don't pay child support.
2:  It only matters to men if our legs are hairy.
3:  Strap problems?  I think that's pretty much eliminated with properly fitted 
gear...are we talking bra or pack straps?  Either way, doesn't matter =)
4:  Our underwear weighs less, and we need not bother with...ummm...adjusting 
ourselves?
5:  Our nails are smaller, thinner, and more efficiently maintained with a 
pocket knife than a man's....plus we're way more experienced in nail care.
6:  So you don't have to carry  birth control or tampons?  Well a month's worth 
of condoms is bulkier and way more fragile than a small light birth control pill 
package....plus there's the shot and other methods that don't need to be 
carried, so no sale =).  As for tampons, well we have a solution to a nosebleed 
in the dry, high desert climates hahaha!
7:  We can also pee without getting out of the tent, we just need to use a 
different strategy.
8:  We could hike topless, and we'd get all attention and compliments that men 
only dream of if we did.
9:  Curlers?  I've never used curlers, they're definitely not a necessity... but 
I bet we manage to make our hair look better than yours
10:  We have no problems lighting stoves, and the guys that can't seem to stop 
playing with the fires are way more likely to start a forest fire!

Just had to stick up for my fellow ladies =)

Hi gang,
Did you guys ever wonder why there are more male hikers than female hikers?
It could be that male hikers are happier campers.

TEN  REASON  WHY  MEN  ARE  HAPPIER  CAMPERS.

1.   We never get pregnant
2.   It does not matter if our legs are hairy
3.   We never have strap problems
4.   Our underwear is warmer
5.   We can do our nails with a pocket knife
6.   We don't need to carry birth control pills or tampons
7.   We can pee without getting out of the tent on a rainy night
8.   We can hike topless
9.   We don't need to put our hair up in curlers
10.  We can light a stove without starting  a forest fire

No wonder men are happier campers.

JMT Reinhold
The happy camper
