Camping Swanking - June 28 - July 3

Too much stressing about the details.

A pantry seems unnecessary when all the food has to be kept in pre-determined locations (the bear boxes) anyway. Carrying camps stoves around as necessary is easy. Odds are we'll still end up with too much of everything and even if we don't the everybody will still have a grand time.

And if you're doing it right all of your cooking dishes are pretty much clean before you're eating. Worrying about perfection and absolute comfort is the antithesis of camping (even the pseudocamping that is when you pull up to your spot in a car).
