The Essentials

We’re just a regular husband and wife who are getting into camping.

We started this site to keep track of the gear we’ve tried, how we can make each trip better, and the pros and cons of the campsites we’ve visited.

Like anything, some things worked out great, some didn’t. This is our way of sorting through it all — sharing what we’ve learned, what we’d pack again, and what we’d skip next time.

If you’re figuring it out like we are, hopefully you find something here that helps you avoid a few headaches along the way.
