Camping Gear: The Essentials

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

C9150As I stare out the window this morning, taking in the gloriousness of a sunny day, I can’t help but feel like spring is here, and it’s time to break out the camping gear. Apparently, Marc Phillippe Babineau had the same thought — last week, he published an article entitled “Essential Tools for Camping“.

In his article, Babineau lists and describes a number of tools you shouldn’t leave home without. Among them are:

Is Camping Gear Really Romantic?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

C53RI was perusing some online camping blogs today when one led me to an interesting pair of articles by Bill Sassani. He wrote two articles for Valentine’s Day, one highlighting outdoor gear gifts for men and one doing the same for women. Now, call me a traditionalist, but I didn’t exactly know camping and hiking gear was on the approved list of gifts to buy for Valentine’s Day. Apparently, they are.

Now, I’ll concede that there’s a good argument for men, but I don’t know if his gear gift-giving opinion on women will stand up. Listen to one of his opening lines:

What makes you a camper?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Normally, I subscribe to the perspective that everyone is uniquely different, but when it comes to camping, people may be more similar than I originally thought. According to some informal research by David Sweet, an experienced camping blogger, there is such a thing as a “typical camper.” I was skeptical at first, but then I found myself nodding my head as I read his conclusions.

After surveying his readers with a series of polls, he put together the following description: (more…)

Spontaneous Camping

Friday, July 24th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I made a last-minute decision to go camping over the weekend — spontaneous camping, as we like to call it. We had a wonderful time, but it could have been terrible if we hadn’t, in essence, planned our spontaneity.

Since camping can be time-consuming (and somewhat troublesome) to prepare for, we developed a system that enables us to leave last-minute without fear of leaving anything imperative behind. Instead of storing all our camping gear scattered about the attic or garage, we leave all our essential items in a Rubbermaid bin, so all we have to do is grab it and go.
