Camping 101...for beginners.

[Lanky Yankee]

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.
