If you're a lover of camping and go as often as you can, there's a good chance you're like me and have a 'Camping' section of your garage.

I have it all organized so all I have to do is open the garage door, back the truck up and within a few minutes I'm on the road to a wooded destination to spend the next couple nights with a mistress, named Mother Nature.

I'll admit I'm not a take a sleeping bag and roll it out next to the campfire, type of guy. I'm also not a 'glamper', I fit right in the middle. I want a tent, cooler, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, coffee/coffee pot, food and a fire starter. It's taken years, but I finally have everything I need for an enjoyable time.

If you're new to the camping world, knowing what to take may be something you think a great deal about.

To help you out here are some key camping items found from REI to enhance your experience

  • Tent
  • Sleeping Bag
  • Clothes

The obvious conclusion to your camping supply list is, what do you need to be comfortable and have a great time. My philosophy is always to be prepared for changing elements, the people you have with you and know that it may not be for you.

I thought it would be fun to ask what camping item you would take camping, just using your first name...I wasn't disappointed.
