Any Campers Here?

[blucavvy]

my family and i plan on doing some camping this spring/summer, just local to our area this year but within the next few years i'd like to start camping in different states and what not.

what do any of you campers like to do when you go camping? what type of supplies are must haves for you?

I went a couple of times with my kids in a state park and another campground but that's not the camping I like. When I was young my Dad would bring me and my brothers camping way out in the woods away from any signs of civilization. We would bring a couple gallons of water and just a little bit of munchies and catch our own supper with our fishing poles. Sometimes we would go by canoe and sometimes hike. Sometimes hunt with a 22 riffle and shotgun. Have a fire and feast on our catch and sleep in a pup tent. We didn't bring much supplies, we didn't need it. This is the kind of camping I want to do again.

yeah, i enjoy that type of camping myself, however i have a 5 year old stepson and a fiance so........for now it'll be the pretty basic type of set up a fire and a tent, play some catch and go fishing with the boy then get drunk kind of camping lol

One of those big 5th wheel campers with A/C and satelite dish and big LCD TV ,or even better Holliday Inn.

haha, I'm with McQuiver on this one. I practically "camp" live every day as it is, and a nice plush RV or Holiday Inn would be sweeeeet!

Make sure to bring one of those Insulin zipper cases with ice packs for your juices, they're easy to pocket and will save your juice from getting overheated while you're out fishing or hiking.

Camping for me, means a camera, skeeter repellant, and a good novel.
