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.
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

For many people, summer is just not summer without taking a weekend camping trip. Camping holidays are an inexpensive and fun way to spend time outdoors and recuperate from everyday life. Sitting under the stars, cooking out, and eating smores can just make any day seem better. Whether you use a tent, RV, cabin, or lay out under the stars, you will find that camping can help you to get in tune with all the nature that is around you.
The best and most memorable camping trips rely on great gear and reliable camping equipment.
