Embarking on a weekend’s camping excursion prompts all but the most dedicated wilderness backpackers to gather enough outdoor camping supplies to dutifully provide for a large army brigade for an entire month. Piece by piece, each item of meticulously selected equipment is loaded into the car or van, such that nobody other than the packer herself could manage to repack the vehicle should the contents need to be removed. Insanity, fun, and adventure ensue as the family, neatly squished into car seats between piles of camper’s trappings, pulls slowly out of the driveway, back bumper almost scraping the pavement from the rear-heavy load generously bestowed on the much-too-small-for-this-task automobile. This, my friends, is the magnificently wonderful amassing of outdoor camping supplies that is the utter essence of what it means to be a dedicated recreational family camper.
