Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
How can you travel light? If you plan on doing without a
car, and moving from campsite to campsite, then you'll
need the lightest, smallest, and least gear you can get
away with. There are tents designed for one person that
weigh less than 4 lbs (1½ kg); some are even under 3 lbs.
You'll need this kind of equipment that allows you to go
backpacking, carrying all you need in one backpack.
Will you fit everything in the car? If you plan on camping
out of a car, then you're going to need enough space to
carry all your stuff plus your regular number of
passengers. Having a small vehicle won't stop you, but
it's something to bear in mind when choosing a tent.
How are you going to eat? Do you want to cook over the
campfire? Or will you be eating out in cafes and
restaurants? You could start by just using your camp as a
base, then building up to a full outdoor lifestyle. Many
campers find that the savings they make allow them to
have more of the treats that vacations are all about. But
you'll need some kind of stove, even if it's just to make
coffee in the morning.
How rugged are you, really? If you need certain comforts
and you can carry them with you, then bring them along.
Choose your campsite and equipment to suit you and your
fellow campers. Don't try to turn into a survival expert
overnight.
