Some of my friends are trying to convince me to go camping with them in North Carolina for a long weekend this summer. I've never been camping before. I'm uncertain about this.What kind of camping? Is it "we park here, and 20' away, pitch tent" or is it "we park at the head of the trail, and hike ___ to the campsite" ? If it's the first flavor, I say go for it. If it's the second, it's more of a hike with sleep over than camping, and I think it's safe to say, you can pass it. The biggest question to ask is, "what is the bathroom situation?" If the answer is "oh, you have nature for a toilet" or something like that... you have a great excuse to NOT go. But if it's a camp ground with either porto-potties our outhouses, it shouldn't be too bad. Actually, if it's got the outhouses, it's pretty dang awesome. Either way, bring your own toilet paper, just in case. And flashlight. Something you can wear around your neck. Nothing worse than being in the john, and the flashlight dropping.... Never done it, but HUGE fear of!
