Camping in Comfort
As it is I love camping. When you enjoy this activity there are five items that you will absolutely have to have to make this a pleasant experience.
- Let’s start with a tent. This is necessary in my book because this is how I go camping. It offers protection from the elements and guests such as various unwanted creatures.
- Next, since the ground is not exactly soft, I would believe a sleeping bag is a necessity. This offers you warmth and can be used to sleep in. It can also be used as a cover to keep warm by the campfire.
- I would hate to be without matches. This is necessary to make a fire which is needed for cooking food and to offer entertainment.
- I would think it a good idea to have an outfit that you could layer to be used for sleeping, Daytime wearing, and easily washed.
- A sharp knife. This would be useful for cooking and eating with, as a weapon, and can be used for repairs, etc.
Now those five items could in my book help to complete a decent camping trip. Once when camping we actually saw a couple camping with a tent, two chairs, a cooler, and their car. My husband thought this was fascinating as when we go camping here is what our list sort of looks like:
- Car
- Tent
- Sleeping bags
- Air mattresses
- All utensils used in a regular kitchen
- A portable kitchen
- Bikes
- Pillows
- Clothes, for hot weather, cold weather, in-between weather, and so on. This includes swimsuits and jackets.
- Towels
- Pots and pans
- Portable stove
- Chairs
- Decorative white lights
- Torches and matches
- Rugs, to be used for comfort
- Lights (battery operated)
- Lanterns (propane-fueled)
- Crates to store pots and pans, clothes, food, reading material, and magazines.
- Bug repellant
- Firewood
- Charcoal
- Gas to light fire
- Screen room
- Weather tarp to cover eating places
- Picnic tab
- Sink and stand to hold dishes and cleaning supplies.
- Pets
- Computer
- Radio. Music is a necessity for exercise and dancing around the campfire.
- Sleeping bags
- Suitcases
- Green portable cabinet to hold dishes, silverware, spices
So, the activity to solve this craziness is “let’s buy a cabin”!!
