The only 'camping' I've done that often is with my grandparents in their trailer, which has almost all the creature comforts of home. I’d definitely like to do some more camping.

Indeed running is a brilliant way to expand your comfort zone. To many people out there give up way to easily. Some throw in the towel as soon as they start breathing heavily. Some quit only when they start to vomit. A great example of differences in discomfort acceptance. Camping is another great way, I've been a boyscout most of my childhood and I must say it really helps develop coping skills with all kinds of discomfort. Ah yes, track running.

I can definitely attest to that pushing you outside of a comfort zone! I've been ending my showers with (relatively) cold water for about the last month and half or so. I've done it as an experiment for the health benefits, but I never thought of it as an exercise in voluntary discomfort.

I am married and a mother of 2, so if I disapeared for 48 hours I would likely be hunted down by police in no time! I like the annual event that my family and I take -- it's called CAMPING! We head for the woods with the bare minimum and live without electricity, without a fridge, without running water and no toileting facilities for a week or more. Discomfort it washing my long hair from a bucket of lakewater, discomfort is sleeping too cold on the ground with mosquitoes and mice trying to get into the tent all night.... I LOVE IT!!! nice challenge… a little scary (as in not safe) for that last one. I am married and a mother of 2, so if I disapeared for 48 hours I would likely be hunted down by police in no time!
