I don't like bringing the weather radio. 

Here's why:
1.  the squawk ruins the ambience of the camp.  That kind of noise is one (of many) reason why I like escaping to canoe country.
2. the forecasts are extremely hard to relate to a specific location.
3. I hate the thought of changing plans because there "might" be weather coming. 
4.  if you're even a little observant, you can see it coming or know to expect it.
5. In sum, unnecessary noise and distraction.

Just my humble opinion.
