Camping is a kind of life style, you need a lot of staff for camping, but most of them can be shared, that is to say you do not need to have them if you go with me together.2 L0 _% t7 r7 g5 w! u9 U4 W# x2 i/ I

As I said, 80% camping gear is sharable. So you do not need canopy, stove, propane tank, cooler, water tank, walkie-talkie. You can use mine.; V6 H$ K; _ h+ G- S5 f
