Awesome tips, and even more awesome photos - that last one of the mountain range again the blue sky is all the things!
While I haven't done a ton of camping, I have done a decent variety - everything from a sleeping bag in front of a tent (back when I was a Girl Scout leader) to living in a camper for just about a year (original plan was to have my husband quit his job so we could tour the country with our three kidlets, but we never even made it out of New Hampshire...lol... but I digress).
Funny thing is, the rental home we've been in for exactly ten years today is almost like camping in that it's on the edge of conservation land and our neighbors are far enough away that it's easy to forget they exist. The not as funny thing is that it's now been ten years since we've enjoyed a good campfire, as our landlady has a bit of a phobia about them. Luckily she's okay with our charcoal grill, so we at least get a bit of a fire fix in on a regular basis.
As far as camping disasters go, not sure but maybe this counts? 😂
That's the Flinders Ranges about five hundred and fifty kilometres north of me, so my back yard. I'm there a lot. It's pretty nice to be honest, but can be hot as hell in summer. Winter though, it's lovely, which is when that pict was taken.
New Hampshire must be pretty nice of you stayed for a year! I've done that in the past, you know, arrived at a place and not wanted to leave. It's not a bad thing as if it feels so nice to be there, why move?
It's a bummer you cnlant have an open fire but the charcoal is the next best thing and I'm sure you make the most of it - like camping in the back yard. It sounds like a nice place to live with the forested areas around and all.
I'll look at those links in your other post, thanks for dropping them.
