For one, I like to be able to go a little faster now that the days are shorter where I am. If the weather cooperates, I’m planning to go out for six days starting a week from tomorrow. I’d prefer not to have to rush in camp to set up, shower, and cook before it gets dark. After DST ends, that becomes even more important. I’ve done long weekend trips at late as mid-December.

And personally, I think having to walk sucks. It sucks more if it has to be done several times. Ask me how I know.
