Couple of friends and I like to watch movies together, so when we do some car camping we like to take a tiny projector and put on a movie. Curious if anyone else does this and if so what movies? So far we’ve done Blair Witch, Evil Dead, Big Money Rustlas(I know), and Infinity Pool.

    This is what I don’t get. Why go camping to then do something that you usually do at home that in no way involves the camping/nature/scenery/…?

      It’s something my friends and I like to do together, still sitting by the fire and enjoying being out in nature. I think having a movie that is in nature feels a lot better, something like Blair Witch. Curious how would something like reading fit into that then? I also enjoy reading while relaxing in the woods, and that seems pretty normal despite sorta taking you out of the camping/nature.

        No worries, you can do that. It is just that when I sit by the fire, want to enjoy the fire.

      I can still see it having a place. Watching a movie you’ve wanted to see for a while in a place where you can’t be interrupted by social media notifications, traffic noise, neighbors, deliveries, etc. Can be very nice. And if you have small kids sometimes a good movie is the only way to get them to slow down and be calm and focused for a couple hours. But its not really something I’d consider “camping” for me.
