New To Camping?
I won’t say it’s easy.
But these guides will help you to learn, and love, the art of camping.
Sharing What I’ve Learned Over The Years
There’s a lot of online resources that set the wrong expectations about camping, which misinform campers and creates a bad experience on many levels. Camping does come with those romantic scenes posted on Instagram, but it also comes with the dirt, bugs, sweat, blisters, hunger, rough sleep, extreme weather, lots of planning obstacles, and a healthy dose of fear. Quite frankly that is the best part, and I would never trade back a single night of camping.
This website was built to share my knowledge and experiences through detailed guides, and teach others how to enjoy both the good and ugly side of camping.
These guides are based on first-hand experiences in the great outdoors. No AI generated content.
