In our age of rapid technological development city dwellers and countryside pursuits like camping holidays seem ever more removed from each other. Our urbanite occupies a bustling city lifestyle, full of prepared food, micro conversations, texts and tweets. Having donned the manic city lifestyle they complete the trick with intense recreation from multi screen cinema to the latest surround sound home DVD Xbox with HD knobs on entertainment system. To combat the fear that their lifestyle is unhealthily unsustainable our urbanite buys the latest Wii Fit package. Phew! It seems a peculiar idea that urban folk want to engage with camping holidays. Here is the polar opposite of the urban lifestyle, the world where a tweet has an entirely different meaning. This is the world where iphones have no use because mobile phone companies haven't discovered the countryside, let alone thought about 3G!

Recently completing our 10 year anniversary of the inaugural Death Trip a couple weeks ago, we started reminiscing about previous trips. A common theme of unfortunate mishaps have come to the forefront having to do with our food preparation and cooking skills (or lack there of). Being the oldest and the founder of the Death Trips, I am the primary chef on these trips with my #1 backup, Drew. Now, we are no slouches around the campfire when it comes to cooking, but when quantity takes precedence over quality, with up to 8 guys eating, we have had our share of “learning experiences”. Over the past 10 years, we have learned:
At one point, the only recreation camping opportunity on offer was tents or the open air. A century ago, you would have been privileged to own a canvas tent. Camping, as a vocational pastime, truly took off approximately fifty years ago. At that time hundreds of trucks were equipped with a camper shell; however, the sleeping space was still rather cramped. Nowadays, there are a variety of choices available to build a home away from home. Tents still remain extremely well-liked, and they continue to advance in design development. Internal framed tents are simply to pull together – you don’t need to do much more than simply snap them open). They are constructed from a durable nylon material and typically in the style of a dome, making them particularly strong. Alternatively, you have the external framed tents which still continue to be popular and have the benefit of being bigger, rectangular in shape (for optimum space) and extremely robust against wind.
Camping Gear Necessities If it’s your first camping trip of the season or you are a first timer, you want to make sure that you have the necessary camping gear and equipment. Some equipment can be rather expensive, but you should be able to get the best from your purchase by being knowledgeable. Even though you can buy cheaper gear, typically cheap camping gear falls apart quicker and is less dependable, so that is not always the way to go. Camping Gear And Your Budget If you, like most people, have limited budgets, you will need to plan carefully before you go to shop for your camping gear.
