[quote=Anonymous]I'd start with a weekend overnight at a regular campground that's not too far from a Wal-Mart (for missing supplies) with a camping-savvy friend, followed by a short backpack overnighter where you both carry in supplies. The first overnight will illuminate what camping supplies you actually need (tent, tarp, lantern, pads, sleeping bags, strike-anywhere matches, campstove, newspaper for fire starting etc.) Backpacking requires lighter weight equipment (rec. 40 pounds or less) so you can actually bring it in with you and maybe also your drinking & wash water or a water sterilizer pump. The reason you never went camping is probably because you have to buy hundreds of dollars of equipment. [/quote]
