I have no idea how to camp and I'm on an extremely tight budget. What are the BASICS that I need for two days with an eight yr. old boy? I will be camping Lake Travis in Austin, TX if that is relevant! I can rough it if I set my mind to it! It'll be fun!
Answer
OH my gosh you are kididng? I am going to go to Austrin Texas and I know Lake travis in austin texas I did ot know they have a campsite there. that cool I will have to ask my step sister about it. anyway my suggestion for budget camper for first timer you an go without a tent as long as no bears or any type of wild animals out there. what you will need is flashlight, water, dry food you do nto need to worry about cooking, what I did in the morning I got cold coffee in the bottle and breakfast bar for just $4.00 as far for dinner you could probably with the can of food if you do cook you will need to get a small stove with gasoline so smal that that it is easy to put in your backpack but becareful to seperate the grill from the gas or else it will turn on by accident and you do not want tha tstar ta fire if you do put them in your backpack. even though no bear around you you should still lock up the food in the container just in case there might be other animals going after for food. bring along soap the type without water use, plenty of toilet paper as well. but you can buy the travel size toilet paper, toilet paper seat if you find a restroom dirty, than you should be all set if you have anymore question feel free to email me at bayareaman1972@yahoo.com

Just looking for equipement and tips for a 3 day camping trip.
Answer
as an eagle scout i did a lot of camping in various types of weather here is what you need:
tent
backpack (you will be able to fit almost everything in one as opposed to suitcases; needs to be at least 4800 cubic inches)
a backpacking stove
eating utensils (such as metal pots and pans and cutlery this will make for easy cleanup)
as much food as necessary for the trip
clothing for the season
a Global Positioning System (get one in the range of about 300 to 400. they are good and some can float on water)
lots of water
a means of communication ( such as a cell phone)
a map and compass (if you re not careful the batteries in the gps will run out)
toiletries ( such as a toothbrush)
a shovel to dig your latrine
a flashlight
a watch
Extra Batteries
rain gear for everyone in your group
highly reflective blanket
fire starters
wood (if you're going to a campsite; If not you can just collect some in the woods)
matches or another way of starting a fire
let someone know where you re going and when you re expecting to be back so they know when to send for help if necessary
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TAKE ANOTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULT. YOU MUST HAVE A BUDDY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND/OR YOUR INJURIES !!!! YOU'RE CHILDREN WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
