With my youngest finally hitting the Boy Scout road....I am being dragged back into my camping days. My memories of all the camping I did in my youth returned. I have very fond memories of not only camping with the boy scouts, but with my family in our "pop-up" trailer.
Then Saturday morning came....wet shoes, cold, wet grass, wet tents, packing all this stuff up......and I remembered why my idea of camping is a Holiday Inn without a pool.
Some things I had to "re-learn" about camping.....
Bring extra shoes....bring extra clothes
get a good night sleep the night before the weekend camp out
bring a bunch of heavy duty paper plates...washing is a pain
bring a cup if you want something to drink
Bring a chair to sit around in.....lots of sitting around as an adult.
Some things I can say that went really well....
Buy an air mattress with a battery operated pump.
juice up the ipod/iPhone and bring earphones....bring a battery lantern, they work great in the tent, bring a paperback.
Bring a one man tent....no roomies, keeps you warmer.... a breeze to set up!
Oh yeah....when Denise found out I went out and bought an air mattress....she texted me that I was a Wus and that I should Man up! I guess I won't tell her that I snuck out for a Large Hot Tea at Mcdonalds.....and just happened on a clean bathroom.
Oh Yes, Camping....I'm Back
