What Type of Camper Are You?
When going camping you have to bring camping equipment with you. Deciding what to take can be determined by finding out what kind of camper you are. There is the minimalist camper who can get by with the minimal amount of camping gear and takes only the basics with him. This type of camper tries to make their outdoors experience as best as they can. Then there is the gear-oriented camper who wants to be comfortable and be prepared for anything.
I fall in the gear-oriented category. During my camping trip I took a lot of gear with me as I am a creature of comfort. For example, with all the propane camp stoves out in the market, I would rather cook my food using a stove than using a fire. My wife, on the other hand, is of the minimalist type. It really depends on the camper on how much or little gear they want to take with them when going camping.
