Camping Gear
This summer my son is going camping for the first time. It is part of his summer camp day program. The entire day camp is going real camping for a week. Five days of living in tents and having a wonderful time. I have two weeks to get together all the camping gear he is going to need. It is a good thing they gave me a list of what camping gear he is going to require.
I went to the local outdoor supply store and they tried to sell me a bunch of stuff my son does not need. They were sold out of what I needed and tried to sell me stuff I did not want. My son is going for a week of fun camping, not survival training. I was so frustrated that I left. All my son needs is a light weight tent for one, a proper backpack to carry it and his clothing and some basic camping gear. Everything else the camp is supplying. I am not going back to the local store. They don’t have what I need in stock. Instead I am going to order everything online. It is for the best actually. I found a better light weight tent for a lot less then what the local store was selling theirs for.
