Maybe I should rephrase my advice. Dont go camping in a tent. RV or camper, with TV, shower, kitchen, your own shitter...go for it. Anything less than that = not for this guy.

I know what you are saying. "Camping" for my family the last 15 years meant that I rented a hotel in the woods which was disguised as a cabin.

I'm looking forward to waking up on the ocean in a tent and sleeping bag.

Sounds like a nice setup. That fan sounds interesting.

Do you like jt? I was contemplating a Kia or Hyundai once I get rid of my smog machine.
I love it. Had it for 3 years now. I get about 33mpg around town and 38mpg highway. It's a fun little 6 speed manual. Bluetooth, push to start, back up camera. The only thing that's wrong is the 7" touch screen is not calibrated properly so when I go to touch a radio station for example, it touches the one next to it. I'm sure the dealership could do something about it, but I just use the buttons on the steering wheel.

Did you get mushrooms? If not you fucked up
No. I told my wife to ask her motorcycle gangsters for some because I don't know many people, and they laughed at her and said this isn't the 80's.

If there are snakes throw a rope around the campsite.
I bring a grill so I can throw it over my campfire setup.
Always bring beans
St Patrick drove all our snakes into the sea so I'm not familiar with them.. Will they not cross the rope or something..

Hennessy hammocks are the best available here in my opinion, probably like 50 bucks there, best money you'll spend outdoorsing.

That looks awesome, I used to love sleeping under the stars, no bag, no tent
