roughing it
Living without comforts
Roughing it means living without the usual comforts and conveniences, typically while camping or traveling in remote areas: We spent a week roughing it in the mountains with just a tent and sleeping bags.
The phrase suggests deliberately enduring primitive conditions, though it's often used loosely—some people consider a cabin without WiFi to be roughing it.
