Tent arrives on Monday, will need seasoning and tow hitch and luggage rack tomorrow. Think we have just about got everything we intended to get. Since we aim to camp in State Parks with electric I am still toying with the ides of getting a small dorm type fridge.
Oh our first trip is to Blue Springs State Park in Florida on 4th Sept for two nights.
Trust me, no matter what stuff you buy and collect over the years, you will forget something. I do, always. We're driving along heading for our site, and I'm thinking of what I've forgot. I always remember when we're over an hour away, so too late to drive back to get it. More often than not, its nothing too serious
Ain't that the truth? I make comprehensive lists for every trip and I invariably leave something out. But it's also true that it's usually nothing major, so you just laugh about it and camp on, trying to remember the omission for the next trip.
Do yourself a favor and set it up somewhere before you actually go camping and soak it down with a hose. That'll do two things: Season the canvas and let the smell dissipate from the floor. The smell is quite strong at first but goes away fairly quickly.
Yeah before you head out make sure you test the tent. pitch it somewhere, like in your backyard if possible or a nearby park just to make sure you have everything. Enjoy it man
