Family & Plans
-Family of three, but plans to expand (2 adults, 1 toddler) + 1 small dog
-Off the beaten path tent camping; Primitive camping; What we can carry on the Jeep, we take in/out
What I have
-I have cast iron cookware (large dutch oven, small and large skillet) which is the only thing I used while camp ground camping. I would like more cookware though
-I plan to build a chuck box this winter
-I have 2 large dry bags
What I don't need
-I do not need a tent; that's another budget
Bottom Line
-I am starting over with my camp gear. When my wife and I camped before, we would use my military gear. Those days are gone...so now its time for civilian gear.
Spend my money. $600 to spend at REI.
Go!
