Camping 101...for beginners.

[BeardyMan]

I've never done proper camping, just glamping (my wife likes toilets and showers). I was wondering about doing a more roughing it type of camping with my son, but not sure about our equipment. I have a good stove and torches ect, but my tent is rather large. do most of you more experienced campers use the smaller 2 man tents? Mine is a 8 person as big as a small bedroom thing but works well with the elements as we find out every time we go camping.

You can't "rough it" in a tent!

Get yerself a DD 3x3 tarp, a hammock (DD, TW, Hennessy) and you're good to go. MUCH better than a tent, more comfortable, much lighter. You do need trees though, so find woodland!
