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.0 ^; v" M V4 n P; h' h

You need a bigger ten than it claimed on the package. If you camping alone, you need a 2 person or 3 person tent, if you have a family of 3 people, you need a 6 people or bigger one.
