The official summer holiday kick off (Memorial Day) has just passed. Which means that everyone’s favorite season is going to fly by in about 2.4 minutes. Instead of sitting by in an idle fashion, get proactive and – RIGHT NOW – put some time on the ol’ Outlook calendar to get out of town, and into nature.
Fortunately we can help make it happen. Because penciling in the time is only part of the struggle. The other half is making sure when you get into the woods, you’re well equipped for a highly enjoyable departure from, well, everything you’re accustomed to.
The transition will be painless, promise. With a stove that doubles as a smart phone charger, and stools that weigh less than your computer, pack up this list of Camp City items and enjoy the, ahem, wilderness.
