Don’t Forget Your Tent!
For the first time in years, I decided to go camping! I think everyone could agree that the difficult part about camping isn’t finding the perfect spot to camp. Quite honestly, it is remembering all the things you have to pack. Preparing for a camping trip can be a lot of work – trying to remember every little detail is often overwhelming. There is nothing worse than staring at a packed car and saying, “I feel like we’re forgetting something.”
No worries I am here to help! It took much thinking but I helped comply this awesome master camping list outlining every possible thing you would need. So today, I’m sharing that list with you!
