$800 bet to live in a tent

For a month in the back yard should i?

No power or transportation. would ahve to work on weekdays but would be able to shower there (20 min walk). food (10 min walk). its on a semi-buisy street but blocked from view.

$800 bucks to camp in your back yard? Do you live near a forest or mountains? Now thats a bet Id be more than willingh to make with anyone. Camping so close to your home like that would not be a challenge. Id go deep into the woods or find a secluded spot in the mountains. Now that would be a bet to make.

his theory is that ill fall into temptation.... i am in south carolina and its rains alot.

Well if you're gonna do it, do it soon before it gets hot out.

No kidding. Right now would probably be the easiest time to pull this off.

Where I live, I would do it. But I have a view with mountains etc. I would feel like I was actually outside, but in urban areas where a persons yard is surrounded by houses, I don't think I could do that. Not sure why either...

Heck yes do it.

What an easy way to make $800.00. Well for me it would be as I would rather be outside than inside.

Pay someone to go camping? What's the catch? Mosquito country?

That is easy money. Can you use an ice chest and a BBQ? How about a radio for baseball? I'd take the $800 to catch up on all the reading I put off. Sounds like fun and good practice.

The backyard sounds like it'd be pretty sad, i mean if you're not living out in nature somewhere. I'd pick a spot away from civilization, and camp there. Otherwise i just don't see the point, that'd be like saying you can only use one room of your house. Easy money but kinda boring and pointless. Do a month in the bush with no resupply.

I personally would forfeit the 800 dollars and sleep in my own bed with my laptop next to me, watching Mets games on my huge plasma TV. Actually, I would pay $800 to not live in a tent for a month! haha

Dude,
Solar panels are $80

and inverters are $50
www.walmart.com...

and a deep cycle battery is another $60

Now you've got AC power, $630 in your wallet and peddling bicycles are free!

Go Green and Rock on!

Can I just get the $800 now for living out of my car since Halloween?

If I had a tent large enough to to stand up in, hold a bed, a chair, a shelf full of books, floor pillows for all the visitors that stop by with pizza and beer ... I'd go for it. Of course I'd have my ice chest and a solar battery charger for lights and music ... what else do you need.

Oh yeah .. a port-a-pot close by
