But occasionally I car camp. And when I do I don’t bother worrying about items being compact, light weight, or particularly practical.
So when I car camp I bring along a few items that I would never consider back country camping.
Like a tent big enough for 6 people.
And a BBQ. In this case used very inefficiently to boil water for oatmeal.
And a lovely cooler of beers. The best part of car camping FOR SURE. Well, in my opinion. Maybe you guys aren’t big lushes like me.
And a suitcase.
I just thought it was hilarious to bring a suite case on a camping trip so I thought I’d share. When I started packing I figured – why not? I like this suitcase and it was the most easily available item. So now even my little suitcase has gotten to experience a camping trip.
What do you bring car camping that you wouldn’t dream of lugging on a backcountry trip?
Ha- love the suitcase!
ReplyDeleteWe went camping once with friends who brought pillows and cots. We laughed at them, but then we realized- why not? Now we bring pillows when we car camp. Still better than those tiny packable kind.
We once saw a family with their cat tied up at their campground. I had a cat that I think would have enjoyed camping.
Last summer I observed an old couple bringing a foldable toilet seat. They placed it just behind some bushes and used it instead of squatting. However it had no container. The excrements were just left on the ground, and paper burnt.
