Gear

I’m not lying when I say Kris and I thoroughly research items we’re thinking of purchasing. He’d read reviews on glue sticks if he had the time. He knows I’m teasing but seriously he would. One thing we’ve realized over the years is that camping can be a fairly inexpensive vacation that provides lasting memories. Yes, it will cost money to get started, but once you have what you need it doesn’t cost much. Friends frequently ask us what kind of tent we have or what we use to cook with while camping. Below is a list of the gear we own. We will occasionally post reviews of our different equipment. If it’s listed below, we love it and would recommend it to others.

Update: Kris admits to reading reviews about glue sticks.

  • Tent
  • Canoes
  • Camp Stove
  • Air Mattress
  • Dry Bag
  • Lantern
