My boyfriend and I are going campingI haven't gone camping since I was about 12, so I have absoultely no camping gear, unless you count my princess sleeping bag that will probably go to my waist.He has no camping gear either, because he just moved out and everything he had was his parentsSo we're going shopping for all new stuff, stuff thats really strong and durable so they will last for a long long timePrice isn't important to us at all.If you have any camping gear that you absolutely love, give us a link to the store nameMost likely we'll be shoppping at target/walmart/academyWe need a checklist to make sure we don't forget anything, because once we go, we're going for a week, and were not coming back for anythingAnd we're camping in the middle of now where, so we can't go buy anything.Anything helps, we don't mind long lists!Thank you very much for your time!
