Camping is a kind of life style, you need a lot of staff for camping, but most of them can be shared, that is to say you do not need to have them if you go with me together.% ~/ B" E3 y5 K5 p4 J% n/ Q- _4 N$ U, ?

As I said, 80% camping gear is sharable. So you do not need canopy, stove, propane tank, cooler, water tank, walkie-talkie. You can use mine.9 ?7 c# h' N* G
