'Round the Campfire Necessities.

Camping here we come! This weekend, sitting around the fire, the smell of toasty s'mores, a dip in the lake, and star gazing are all a part of the agenda. And of course, being in camping mode, I cannot help but post about it. Aside from the big items like the necessary tent and sleeping bag, and the items for survival like food, water, and ways to tie them high and far away from the bears (yes, bears!) here are five more items to check off the camping gear list.

1. The Camping Chair A place to rest your camping soul and the necessity for 'round the campire sitting. If you are wanting a project and a bit of homemade, here is a DIY  for a folding tripod camping stool over at woodandfaulk2. Let there be light Say no more to being afraid of the dark. Grab your lantern or flashlight, and practice making your shadow puppets. 3. Dinnerware Those beans, hotdogs, and cup of jo aren't going to hold themselves. I love this set from REI, and actually picked up some mugs just like this for $3 during their big sale that is going on right now. 4. Worn in Flannel Whether it is a vintage, thrifted, or hand me down (or even new) you can never go wrong with flannel while camping out. You can see more of this flannel look over at Happily Grey. 5. Picnic Blanket A place to sit and play cards, take lake side, spread out your grub for mealtime, and stand barefoot without getting dirty and dusty. For a few more tips for camping, you can visit Beth's post over at Dot in the city-- over here. Have a happy Friday!
