Me and some friends have been wanting to go on a camping trip for the last month. We got togeter today to do a gear check.

Here I am with my bag and tent. I have had the same gear for almost ten years! I love how camping gear stays good for so long and it builds character the more you use it.

Pretty cool to see the sun go down over the Oquirrh Mountains. Like a blood red orb rolling down mountains edge, it seemed to be headed for the lake.

When we actually got to planning, it was a lot of fun. We all cracked jokes, told stories, all the while we worked out what we needed and what we didn’t.

I wish I would have caught a better picture of all the tentative gear and food that one of the guys had laid out. Seriously, looked like an Instagram pic, too bad I took a cruddy picture.

Let me know in the comments below where did you go last on a camping trip?
