Interesting feedback. I certainly am not attempting to criticize anyone or anyone's company for earning their living. It must cost a lot to organize, plan and operate a tour company - not to mention that in these times it must be pretty risky financially. My opening comment was really just an expression of "hmm, that's interesting, I wonder what others think or do?" In my tours I choose to neither camp nor cook - I enjoy a warm comfy bed too much and enjoy the pleasures of eating a wide variety of foods. Thus, my tours can easily be $100 per day, depending on where I am. Some places are more and some less, but so far, that is my average.
