camp

Strangely enough, there are not many "camps" on a "campus." Weird. Presumably, that is a question for the ages.

Camping has long been a beloved pastime. Whether you are heading out on your own to do some deep soul searching, or you are just going camping with family or friends, there is just something about getting out into nature (red in tooth and claw), building a fire, and camping in a tent that cannot be duplicated any other way.

The basic necessities for camping are as follows: backpack, tent, sleeping bag, matches, flashlight, food, water, pocketknife, and some good hiking boots. These items are indispensable and can be purchased at any outdoor shop or even from big box retailers. It is important that you have these items and are always prepared before you venture out into the great outdoors.

If you find yourself in the outdoors and you are unprepared, remember, one of the biggest mistakes a lot of campers make is they resort to cannibalism way too soon (just kidding). But if you do get caught in a predicament, stay calm and keep your wits about you. More likely than not, help is on the way.
