WONDERING WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR ARSENAL?

We absolutely love camping. We camped for the first time together in the back of Alex's Lexus GX470. He built a wood platform in the back and we slept on a thin air mattress with just some sheets. That was in Puerto Rico where it was hot and humid, so we didn't need anything special to keep us warm.


We've come a LONG way since that setup. We slowly figured out what we needed or didn't and made a conscious effort to upgrade along the way with products that didn't break the bank. We took recommendations from friends and were definitely influenced by people on the internet along the way. We truly hope that this post is somewhere in the middle for you. We hope that this feels like internet friends giving you genuine recommendations for products we truly use each time we camp. No gimmicks or product pushing of things we don't use.
