I like to go to Walmart, the Dr just rents the spot, doesn't care if you get glasses from them or not. You can then get your glasses at Walmart, easiest, or order through an online place like Zenni, cheapest but takes about 3 weeks.

I started out with just all low end and used stuff. I have some stuff now that is above Walmart quality, I spend a little coin on things that are smaller and lighter. I do a little back packing and a lot of sleeping in a small SUV. So space is an issue.

My advice on camping is to start out with one night local and slowly evolve to what you want to be doing.

I do camping in a variety of settings year round. Non -romantic, I would prefer single bags and single air mattress. Romantic, double bags and double air mattress.
