I camp a few times every summer. I take my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, sweater, winter hat, pillow, and usually a few too many bottles of soco Wink

. I light my fires with a lighter, i only take my "survival" bag with me when i go hunting. The way I see it, that's the only time I'd even have a chance at needing any of it, and even then I know where I am at when I go so chances of getting lost are slim to none. Gotta love gps and a compass. The "Kit" I carry is a first aid kit, and it gets more use than any of my other stuff. My magnesium flint stick, only ever used it to start a fire in my back yard when i wanted to see how it worked, and it was entertaining on the beach that was closed last summer that i worked at when we lit pizza box's on fire.

I go camping with friends every once and a while, with an air matress and more blankets than alcohol. i dont bring a survival pack, because i have no intent of surviving, where i camp, is about 7 minuets from my house.

I camp a few times. I have not slept under a tree and moss, but once day hope to do so. I know physically i'm ready but i dont know if I am psychologically.

Well i usually dont drink that much, i usually video tape my friends after they have drank that much hahaha. sometimes when we want gto camp, and were lazy we just sleep in my friends van somewhere on the side of the road lol.

lolol. Is that car camping? or is car camping when you drive somewhere and like pitch your tent next to the car er smth?

I can honestly only remember going camping once... I might sleep outside sometime in the summer though, but I gotta make a shelter first. Which is hard cause I have NO Wood or anything in my yard. Like 3 trees.

dog what if you are like 3 of those!!?? Shocked

When I sleep out, I use natural materials, it ifs raining, I allways have my tarp Very Happy

The last time I splet in a tent was about, 8 years ago, I started making my own shelters and freggin loved'em.

I camp every weekend almost during the summer, through the fall, and in the winter. Of course circumstances determine different things.

You may find me in either my one person tent, on a cot under the stars, in a trailer, or even in my wall tent that weighs too much. Laughing

But I love them all, and they all have different purposes. Backpack hunts I have all three! The trailer just in case, the wall tent at the end of the road as basecamp, and the one man tent with me. Laughing
