outdoor camping, camping and hikingFor months now, my roommate and I have been talking about an outdoor camping trip once the weather heats up a bit. It has been very nice where we live and with the right supplies could already be a great time to pitch a tent but we want to travel up north where the landscape is wilder and the weather is colder. Our plan has been to hit the road in June as the weather pretty much everywhere is heating up by this time. I was going to head to a favorite outdoors sports retailer for a new sleeping bag and assorted supplies until I looked in our linen closet. Prepared for a disaster, my roommate has 6 sleeping bags, backpacks, a tent, fire-starting equipment, battery operated flashlights and radio, along with a list of other items a person would expect in an earthquake kit.

I might just buy a small camping stove and use his stuff to save a little bit of cash for this trip. We don’t have an exact idea of where we will go. Instead we have a camping and hiking area locked down and will figure it out from there. I can’t wait for June to roll around so our outdoor camping talk comes to fruition.
