Camping is a kind of life style, you need a lot of staff for camping, but most of them can be shared, that is to say you do not need to have them if you go with me together.5 P; ]/ Y% z( Q- |; o3 E

If you camping during summer, you do not need a heavier one for winter camping. Usually any sleeping bag is good for summer camping.

As I said, 80% camping gear is sharable. So you do not need canopy, stove, propane tank, cooler, water tank, walkie-talkie. You can use mine.
