To get “outdoor” ready, I like to have a start-of-summer bonfire with my family and friends. Once the mosquitoes start biting – it’s official. Summer is here and the camping gear is ready to go!

It’s important to make a list, just like whenever you’re going away. The thing with camping is, you have to make sure you remember everything, because it’s not necessarily so easy to run to a store to pick anything up!
