Advantages: Robust and reliable Disadvantages: not cheap
When camping and I have been feeling more adventurous, I would decide to avoid the usual commercial camp sites and head off into the wilderness, armed with a compass and a map or two. Well not the wilderness more off of the beaten track. It can be fun, but you really do need to have the best of equipment with you.
