Swank Camping Advice

[Alex]

Add a chair to sit in and consider a tent optional (seriously, sleeping out in the open under the sky is so very relaxing) and your initial list seems fine to me. Oh, add a gas-fired stove, a couple small coleman propane tanks, and a pot, a pan, and one plate/bowl/cup/cutlery per person.

The only drawback is that among others who bring Wal-Mart with them at least one person will say you're just mooching. Some people do indeed, but I was very careful to never mooch.

Oh, and one last thing, bring a copy of whatever Lisa is reading for when she misplaces hers.
