    I love car camping in the mountains

    Great lens. I have never seen an outdoor oven before - I think I know what I want for my birthday, now.

    Great lens! Thanks for sharing. The item list for backpacking is solid!

    Looking forward to some wonderful time camping and backpacking for my birthday in a few months. I've bookmarked your excellent guide, in the hopes of finally pulling off a camping trip where we don't realize, once we're in the middle of nowhere, that we've forgotten something :)

    Very nice lens, everything you need to know about camping, thank you...
    In Puerto Rico we have very nice places for camping, specially some small islands like Culebra, Vieques, Palominitos, and some others

    Thank you for all of the time you have spent providing quality information. Nice lens, hopefully I will be able to articulate as well as you, I am just getting started on this Squidoo.

    This is a great lens. The only thing I would add to essentials is a good pair of jumping shoes. Once as a kid in Jasper Park in Canada, a black bear charged our camp and I jumped right over the car trunk. Great lens though

    camping is awesome, i remember when we used to go camping with the scouts, such fun times
  • CampingMemoriesDotCom Apr 30, 2012 @ 1:53 pm | delete
    If you'd like to share some of those memories, we are willing to listen, possibly post on our blog.

    A fantastically well informed lens. Wow! So much great info.

    Wow, you put a lot of work into this lens! Lots of good ideas here. I especially liked your way of washing dishes while camping.
  • InnovativeToys Mar 12, 2012 @ 8:58 pm | delete
    Awesome list of camping preparations...right down to the Smores!

    Wow, what a brilliant lens - very comprehensive and looks like a lot of fun.
  • Hagglecoins Mar 8, 2012 @ 11:37 am | delete
    I camp a bit, and geocache too, and this lens is excellent. Nice gear and tips on lists and things to be sure to bring. The bin idea, such a low-cost solution, very very good tip there.

    Great Lens I'm going to link to it from my campfire lens - see you there sometime

    I have been camping for over 30 years and this lens encompasses most everything that is needed to enjoy this activity. Blessed by a SquidAngel. Great lens!
  • jksterling Jan 9, 2012 @ 9:08 pm | delete
    You did a fantastic job with this lens, very, very thorough. Thank you.
  • DebMartin Dec 26, 2011 @ 11:49 am | delete
    What a totally complete lens. And I love that you are environmentally conscious and do the dishes instead of burning so much stuff. And no plastic. A few years ago I even gave up the plastic trash bags. That really helped me thing about what and how to pack. I like your method of doing dishes and I'm off to find a mesh bag. If you have suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks!

    Great job with describing all these camping details.

    I really love camping and have been doing it since high school.I will bring these equipment for my next camping.great info! :)
  • prhammock Nov 1, 2011 @ 6:47 pm | delete
    You do cover a lot of information. I started camping way back, however those camping trips required a lot of hiking (4 hours and up), I learned to travel light and comfortable.

    Lengthy but lots of quality information! I'm about to go camping again in a few weeks and can't believe I hadn't considered keeping a pre-packed camping box!
  • AsaGislason Sep 9, 2011 @ 4:03 am | delete
    Great and informative read, enjoyed it. The roughing it photo reminded me of our camping trips, we love camping? but we love our comfort as well ;-) I got some great ideas about how to get better organized for my next trip, thanks.

    Fun lens that reminds me I need a camping trip!

    Hi! Love your lens, It is informative and very thorough. I think you covered all of the bases. This lens has been blessed by your camping neighborhood squid angel and added to my list of camping lenses. Thanks for the info!

    Thank you so much for the blessing and for adding me to your camping lens. It is greatly appreciated!

    What a fab lens! So much information :)
  • TheHealthGuy Aug 3, 2011 @ 4:38 am | delete
    Great lens. When I go camping, always in the mountains where there's a great trout stream, I go pretty lite. My gear consists of my weapons, ammo, axe, e-tool, fly rod and gear, fart sack, first-aid kit, mess kit and coffee pot, tarp, a couple cans of beans incase I forget how to live in the wild, extra socks, skivies, an extra pair of boots, wash cloth and soap, tooth brush, razor, a couple canteens, slicker, coat. I think that's about it and I'm good to go for 2 - 3 weeks.
  • KonaGirl Aug 31, 2011 @ 10:39 am | delete
    I have been known to go for a day or two with little more than a fishing pole, and backpack with less gear than you have here, but enough to sustain me for a few days to a week. It is so nice to just get away from the crowds every now and then enjoy the solitude of the ocean or the mountains. Thanks for the comment.

    Was checking this out 'cos we are planning to go to Mocambique in October and camping was one option - fortunately, as it turns out, we'll be renting a cottage - I'm not big on roughing it.
  • ShopJonquil Jul 14, 2011 @ 12:42 pm | delete
    This is an awesome lens! Thank you for the detailed information on packing and all the tips!
  • breagen Jul 4, 2011 @ 1:57 pm | delete
    Lots of good information here for the beginning camper, good work!
  • tssfacts Apr 10, 2011 @ 9:03 am | delete
    Wow a delightful article and great resource for the newbies and us "oldies" too. You got my camping juicing flowing again. It has been a while since I have been tent camping. Lensrolled to my camping quiz.
  • LifeSculptor Nov 23, 2010 @ 4:03 am | delete
    Wow! Great lens. Really comprehensive with loads of ideas. I think if I bought toasting forks for the marshmallows the kids wouldn't like it though, one of the highlights when we arrive at a campsite is trying to find sticks long enough to toast them on!
    Thank you.
  • WriterBuzz Sep 30, 2010 @ 6:07 am | delete
    This is a great lens. Thanks for making it. Very informative. I gave you a thumbs up

    cause I like your lens.
  • Ladyclodine Jul 17, 2010 @ 3:13 am | delete
    An Electric Can Opener is way more better than a hand can opener since it would open any size of can without any force..
  • Haplo32 Jun 30, 2010 @ 7:24 pm | delete
    I agree that a camping shower is great on camping trips. At around 1 pound, It's so light that you can easily carry it with you on hiking trips and it won't add much to the weight of your existing gear.
  • World-Wanderer Nov 6, 2009 @ 5:56 pm | delete
    Amazing lens, Really great information... (hehe i might borrow a few ideas) but for the axe, Gransfur Brooks make much much much better ones than the one you endorse...
  • MarkDale Mar 2, 2009 @ 10:51 pm | delete
    Great lens! I stumbled across this while looking for something else and ended up reading the whole thing and bookmarking it. I love the lists, and your section about taking care of cast iron is right on the money. Very useful stuff!
    Have a look at my new hibachi grills site if you get the chance.
  • ElizabethJeanAllen Sep 22, 2008 @ 7:08 pm | delete
    You're right. Camping as a child gave me some wonderful memories. All summer long we would go camping almost every weekend. I loved it...still do.
  • eccles1 Sep 16, 2008 @ 11:21 pm | delete
    I love this lens what a great job you did!
  • Roy-Scribner Aug 26, 2008 @ 1:38 am | delete
    Lots of good content here! I'm new to Squidoo, so I'm searching through all of the camping-related pages, and your lens caught my eye - thanks.
  • beachbum_gabby Jul 10, 2008 @ 11:00 pm | delete
    one of my favorites past time. I love sitting by the Campfire whether in the mountains or at the beach.
  • Tiddledeewinks Jul 1, 2008 @ 10:30 pm | delete
    WOW a great camping lens! You've covered EVERYTHING, although I'm not a camping person, but would like a cabin.Definitely 5 *'s!
  • Soulshine_Expressions Jun 30, 2008 @ 7:45 am | delete
    Camping in the mountains does it for me. Just returned from the Sierra's what a trek. Love your lens. 5 stars

    Peace!
  • AlpineLass Jun 28, 2008 @ 11:43 am | delete
    Matt- Thanks for stopping by. I love camping on the beach too, although I have done just about every type of camping one can think of.(Except under a park bench-LOL!)- Heidi
  • Jun 27, 2008 @ 10:20 am | delete
    camping on the beach is much more fun and exciting for me..secondly on the mountain..that would be a lot of adventures.
