EQUIPMENT LIST
The following is a list of equipment you
may wish to consider taking with you on a camping trip. This list is not
a mandatory items, but more as a list of things to choose from., Each
camping experience requires different equipment, so you may not need
some things now, but you could use them on future trips. Of course,
there will be things that you just cannot do without, so we have left
room for you to add your favorite items. Remember the Boy Scout motto -
Be Prepared - but try not to overdo it and pack too much.
