Camping...The Outdoor type...
This might come as a shock to some, but...
Although , if the occasion calls for it, I can handle Myself in the wild, Survive etc ... I mean, c'mon...I attended a few Camporees/Jamborees, helped a few tenderfoots reach Eagle bla bla I tend to avoid it, however, if I can...  My question is, to avoid excessively buying dumb crap for my next Camp trip{Me and My big fuckin Mouth -long story-}... What's Ideal for a decent Tent in your Opinion, What type is very good against Rain, Bugs, and stuff that go bump in the night that would make a seasoned tough butch shit hys pants etc *include for more than 1 person if u can* ? Sleeping Bag {5 degrees F...50...40 ?}? Air Mattress *bad back* or cot....? Anti-bug sprays, blue lights....? Cooking stuffs {besides a campfire...I intend to take a percolator...} Decent folding chairs, hammock... U get the point... What would U take....?? Include food....Plz?... {Any experience anecdotes are helpful too, so I can have a mental picture  }

Seriously tho I do love to camp. So, what you need to know in advance is about the campsite. Are you are camping in a place that has facilities, if yes what kind. Then you can get down to the brass tacks of what to bring. And of course you need to know the general expected temps for the area.......

Where do you plan to go camping (what part of the country/time of year)?
Will you be backpacking or camping at a campsite (aka car camping)? A good investment would be a camp stove (again, dependent on what kind of camping you're doing) Dylan |

Bring flip flops so you don't get cooties when you shower at the campground.
And if there's no shower at the campground, That is way too rustic for me. We are going to a cookout next week and there's some talk of s'mores. I am not even allowed to look at the 12 bars of chocolate in the chiller. |

There isnt much I cant do outdoors including survival. I have light camping gear and larger/comfortable gear. I can rough it back country or set up my caravan of big fancy tents and screen rooms, air mattresses, designer sheets, gourmet fireside meals and make Martha look cheesy.

Well, if it's how hy claims....
My guess is... Very Rustic.... I'll explain.... For years, my best friend and I teased back n forth.... 3 days ago, I made the blunder in tellin the braggart who kept pokin' at me because of My choice of "camping" {y'know, cabin, all ammenities, hot shower, wifi, functional kitchen, etc...}, told me I sounded kinda femme suddenly, and I told hym, not only did I find that remark slightly insulting, but that I knew a few femmes who could most likely put hym to shame in Camping, that and I was very well-versed in Camping, that I simply chose to be incredibly comfortable in the forest away from Bears and skeeters, skunks and ants...is an entirely different matter....{keeping in mind, this slides off, cuz I dont hafta prove shit..it's just Charming to see hym worked up}. Hy quickly chirped "U probably wouldnt make it thru the night with me" and I had to, my quick wit just..Popped up "I bet I could and oh so much more..." "Riiight" "Fine, bring your sweet ass to ohio, we'll see" "You're sooo fuckin On....hell with Pride, make plans for that park" {there's a few national parks in my area, I think...} I really doubt it's car camping, hy tends to enjoy throwing caution to the wind and disappearing for a weekend and camp *Only to reappear on a monday, smelling kinda Ripe*.... There might be some fishing... Obviously it's some kinda great outdoors/wilderness is my Mommy, pissing match thing.... And no, we won't be recreating brokeback mt, as much as hy flirts, not My type..[pervs]  I wanna be comfortable, w/o blowing my money to hell, or seeming too excessive, I have an idea what I want... W/o jeopardizing my health either.. But, I wanted to know different thoughts here.... Sooo.....yah....cheat-sheet for now....  I did warn hym though... The moment hy sings either kumbaya, or any folk song, I'm throwing hys ass in the lake while hy sleeps......  |

I take a melitta cone filter, and the paper cones that fit them fir coffee instead of a percolator type pot. The coffee always tastes really good, and there's less to clean up. Get the unbleached (not white, but light brown/tan) paper filters ..

That said, when I do my solo long distance cycling tours I camp to help save on money. What I've used in the past is the following (REI is a favourite site of mine in the US while MEC is my fav in Canada): Cooking stove: MSR WhisperLite I also have a MSR cook pot collection (they fit into each other) and will probably get a "spork" for when I travel although as I note below I tend to buy while on the road (vegetarian/vegan stuff) Sleeping bag: I usually find a 3 season one (the last one I got was at MEC and I go for weight because of riding on a bicycle) and I have a ThermaRest Pad to sleep on with the sleeping bag. Water purification: Katadyn Micropur Purification Tablets Tent: for more than 2 people, the Big Agnes is nice. Just me, I'll be getting this one by REI (I've used a friend's in the past and it's been great) Food: I tend to buy near by but bring trail mix as it's portable for me and reduces weight as I travel. Sometimes I'd get some of the dehydrated packs (usually the cereal stuff) and/or oatmeal or Uncle Ben's Rice packs (they are enclosed in these mesh kind of configurations and you just pop them into water -- when I last used these it was before I was vegan/vegetarian so we'd add a boiled egg or fried egg to the rice, which made it a great way to start the day). Bug Spray and such: since my travels took me into Ontario/Nova Scotia/New Brunswick forests which are known for black flies (  they can be as big as yer thumb! ) so deet in the bug spray is important. Sun block is important. I've used the Neutrogena stuff previously with success.Towel: find a towel that is made of the same material that swimmers use. These towels quick dry and that's helpful Sandals: Keen's rock! I used these all the time but when on the rock they are great for those shared showers. Toilet paper: find some cheap rolls to bring. Sometimes those outhouses and such don't necessarily have any. And if you have to run into the woods.. well.. can be handier than the poison ivy near by. Headlamp: great if you want to read or have to find the bathroom at 2am without waking too many neighbours and ensuring hand free light. Hopefully that helps somewhat. More than anything, have fun while camping.

Their toilets make me glad there's a buncha bushes.... I'd sooner risk skunks than some kinda UTI from hell.... Maybe buy a can of chock full o' nuts coffee, and put a cute shiny ribbon for hym.... Some areas in both places I mentioned have electric, but considering our Plans, that would make everything Moot.... Might as well give in and call a hotel, no? |

You can get campfire percolators (much like many "Western" movies depict). http://www.rei.com/category/5760724 Heck, could even go fancy and get a french press! .gif "Say What?")

Eh. The french press gets you a better coffee experience (IMO). My uncle has used the one your grandfather has used in the past but found the french press better for camp fire camping.
