FROM GETOUTSIDE an excellent English site.

Whether you're an avid camper or reluctantly only sleep under canvas when forced, there are certain things that only real campers will know.​

1. Camping is very tribal. The ultralight backpackers look down on the glampers for bringing most of the house, while the glampers smirk at the backpackers trying to get changed in a space the size of a coffin.

So what are the basics - the essential stuff you need to have a great camp/canoe trip?

Shelter, Sleep System, Clothing, Food, Cooking devices including utensils, Personal gear - toiletries, meds, headlamp, water filtration, and a backpack/barrel to carry it all. You might need a pulley/rope...

Nothin to do this evening - so I mused myself with getting ready for winter camp.​

The first thing that I did was to make an inventory of the equipment I need. ​

SHELTER
Tent
Heating System - Buddy Heater or Wood Stove.
Booties to wear in the tent....​

A little about me and why I enjoy camping. I am early 50s, male, married 25+ years, blue collar factory worker with average pay for this area. I don't have a camper or motor rv. I mainly camp in a tent, and it is normally a tent that doesn't cost over 200...

Because I tend to get away for two or three weeks at a time it is imperative that I book early in the season. For me, that is March 1st. To wait any longer minimizes my chance of getting a choice base camp site. Once the site is booked then I can plan for...

snow, rain, ice pellets, fog, really cold and delightfully mild temperatures,
high winds, bright sunny days and grey miserable ones.
It was the perfect time to be out for a couple of nights of hot tent camping.
Strange, I thought, as I lay in my cozy winter sleeping bag watching
shadows of the flames dancing on the tent walls, it seemed summer like.

That's sort of a long sentence, isn't it? Anyway, we are talking about SURVIVING not PLAYING. When one's life depends on one's actions you better get it straight because there will be no television cameras recording your mishap or your demise for that matter.
