Swank Camping Advice

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I highly recommend a decently thick air mattress and electric pump of some sort. Ours is by Coleman and is wonderful. Also acts as an extra bed for guests.

Make sure your sleeping bag is suited to you - if you get hot easily, get a warmer weather one, if you get cold easily, get a colder one. I had to pull an extra blanket into mine this time, so I'm going shopping.

Some sort of lantern that you can set on a table or floor of your tent. I'm beginning to think that gas lamps are more trouble than they're worth, since there are many smaller electric options, and you can always go for rechargable batteries. Regardless, a light you don't have to hold is a nice thing to have.
