> never drank $25 of beer per day(while camping), never bought cigarettes

A bigger problem with the itemization of cigarettes is that listing them as a camping expense implies that you smoke more while camping than you would otherwise, which makes no sense.

While camping the air is too clean, so you need some cigarettes to fill your lungs with your normal city air.

I listed beer and cigarettes, because its a common vice of lower class working people. Less so than it used to be. But $15 dollars is just for one pack in Ontario. So the guy is rationing his cigarette pack over 2 days.

That means camping is cheaper than the alternative. It's insane to list saving money as if it were a cost of camping.
