Let’s just say that we had many sleepless nights in cold and hot weather alike.
Camping in the great outdoors can be a rewarding, fun experience, but, it can also be incredibly uncomfortable if you aren’t adequately prepared. If you read my “About Me” page, you will find I didn’t grow up traveling or camping so I had no idea what gear to purchase or what to bring on a camping trip. When I graduated college, I wanted to save money, so I bought the cheapest, bulkiest, most uncomfortable camping equipment known to man. Let’s just say that we had many sleepless nights in cold and hot weather alike. We continued to grow by learning from our mistakes as campers but were at the mercy of our gear. I have since put a substantial amount of time researching gear and camping tips so we can now easily slip in and out of campgrounds and be comfortable. Many people have asked for advice regarding gear to bring and buy so I wanted to provide a car camping essentials guide.
