[quote=Anonymous]Seeing a bunch of threads on camping with kids, and thinking there are maybe some first-time campers this year. I've been camping with kids for years, from as young as 3 to as old as 15. Happy to answer questions and I'm sure there are others that have experience and can jump in!! A few things I always say to newbie campers: You need less gear than you think. If you aren't sure you will like camping, borrow a tent (or rent from REI), raid your kitchen for supplies and bring your regular bedding -- you don't need to buy sleeping bags for your first trip. Keep the food simple. Scout out a nearby drive-thru spot in case of disaster. Precook what you can; bring food that you can eat cold. If you need to pee in the woods, pay attention to gravity. Point your feet uphill OR downhill. Sideways to the hill means the pee will trickle down over your feet. It's okay to brace on a tree.[/quote]
