Answer:

That sounds like a lot of funBeing surrounded by the wilderness and nature away from civilizations and all it's crazy noisesAs a Boy Scout in my early years, and on camping trips.I'd always make sure to bring the followings: -Bugs spray (keeps ticks and mosquitos away) -Aluminum foil paper (the new pocket types are even better for cooking vegetables such as wild mushrooms, fish, crayfish, and other meats) We used to wrap chopped vegetables and meat together using a few pieces and just throw it over the charcoals (not the flame) of the fire, and after it was done, we'd seasoned it w/ a little bit of salt and black pepper and enjoyed it.mmmm-compass and mirror (most have the mirror on the back side) -net w/ small holes wide enough to cover face, but small enough to keep bugs from biting while sleeping-I have a Swiss multi-purpose plier w/ spoon and fork attachments-the most useful tools ever invented for outdoor people-rope (long enough to tie your food in a bag and throw over a tree branch, and suspend it in the air so bears, racoons, and other night critters can't reach it while you're fast asleep or away from the camp site) -sea salt (preserve meat and for seasoning purposes) That's pretty much it.other than that, you have already lists most of the essentials required for a 3 week camping tripHave a great time! I'll be on a week camping trip in about another 3 weeks.only with tents thoughYou're a whole lot tougher to go on one w/o tents.
