The act of sleeping in, residing in, or doing a number of other activities in a camper.
"Hey John what is campering?" "Oh Mike, campering is what rednecks do. They are too poor to stay in a hotel, but still want to have the maximum negative impact on nature. Plus, campering affords them a refrigerator to store their Bud Light in."
Sleeping outside in the backcountry without an overhead shelter (such as a tent or tarp), usually done in the context of backpacking. The decision to cowboy camp is a calculated one - bugs, rain, snow, etc. are all possible backfires to the decision and can damper the experience.
Note that having an adequate shelter is a must, cowboy camping is the decision to forgo setting up a dedicated shelter and betting that conditions will be such that the shelter is not needed (but the dedicated shelter is still present/available should it be needed). Not bringing adequate shelter with you into the backcountry is foolish and can result in injury or death.
Last night we went cowboycamping at Panther Gap and the stars were ridiculous.
Fantastic "anti-indie" septet hailing from Cardiff, Wales. Their music is a torrential downpour of noise that coagulates into amazing, dance-ish, vibrant sounds. Hailed by critics as an indie band who have a very bright future. They are part of the indie scene, but their lyrics basically attack scenesters, like in 'You! Me! Dancing!': "Oh yeah it's sad that you think that we're all just scenesters, but even if we were it's not the scene you're thinking of...". Not nearly as well-known as they should be. They are signed to the Arts & Craft label, and for their first EP were signed with Wichita. Their new album is forthcoming, their current single is "International Tweexcore Underground" where they make fun of people who followed the twee pop movement.
There's red stains all over the place, but they're not blood they're cherryade. We throw parties, you throw knives, but it's all the same as long as the fizzy drinks are nice!
I never cared about Henry Rollins! AmeliaFletcher never meant anything to me!
"I, like Los Campesinos, throw parties not knives."
Roof Camping is a term used to describe pussies in games such as Rust, where highly geared players far into the game sit on top of their base shooting people enlarging their ego for the 1 out of every 50 bullets they hit.
Jeff: *sits on the roof shooting at nakeds*
Steve: Jeff is such a Roof Camping Bitch
