I agree: it's good to know your limitations and to focus on what's important...
That said, people who need "full conveniences" should limit themselves to places which have that infrastructure. This rules out most of Puna. Hence my (and apparently others') confusion at the apparent disconnect between "build my own tent" and "must have grid power".
It's not a "parenting" issue ... except for the part about teaching the kids to "need" that infrastructure. At least they'll have a yard to play in!
