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.

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.8 p' j; ~2 @# g1 {2 j: u1 {6 ?

If you camping during summer, you do not need a heavier one for winter camping. Usually any sleeping bag is good for summer camping.9 e& x9 r$ [& v, r; I2 D3 N6 t

As I said, 80% camping gear is sharable. So you do not need canopy, stove, propane tank, cooler, water tank, walkie-talkie. You can use mine.
