This book is for first timers to camping. If you have resolutely managed to be a city dude or a city girl up until now, this is the guide you need to understand the basics of camping and how to prepare for your first time out in Mother Nature without the amenities of urban life. There are a variety of types of camping that people enjoy and we’ll be introducing you to many of them.

Rest assured that there is no need to be uncomfortable or to feel deprived in any way while camping! It just requires a few adjustments, slightly different gear than you may use at home, and an attitude of open-minded adventure. We’ll even show you pictures of some different types of gear that have been designed specifically for different kinds of camping experiences.
