Camping anyone?

foxyshaman · 08-08-2011, 10:40 AM

I LOVE CAMPING. However in the recent breakup I took no camping gear because I moved into a much smaller place.

But I do teach a shamanic wilderness retreat for going on 11 years now. It is rough camping - read as only an outhouse!! This year it is Aug 18 - 22.

So, these days I camp light - 1 stove; two pots; two of the rest; a tent; sleeping bag and a cot- I am not sleeping on any ground ever again... my aging hips are like...ahhh are you kidding us?? Oh and a small cooler. Everything I need fits into the back of my hatchback Focus. Eating mostly raw food gives me an advantage I don't have to worry about meat spoiling!! yeah me!! I need the stove for my coffee extravaganza... I mean people wanna live right??

I know it's not for everyone, but wanted to mention the shewee/he-wee too. Whether it be when you're camping, public restrooms(where you wouldn't have to explain the direction your feet are facing), or every day life.

I love camping! Every time I drive by a sporting goods store, I have to go in and look at what they have and sometimes buy something that may be useful. Last time was two new bladders for my Camelback. One had a leak in it and the other one, which I got around the same time as the first, was starting to go too. One is strictly for water and the other is for booze. Yes, that's how I camp!
