Camping is a fun and exciting activity that allows you to explore the outdoors and connect with nature. However, it can also be challenging if you are not fully prepared with the right tools and equipment. Oftentimes, people tend to overpack and bring items that they never end up using. Here are five camping tools that you may think you need, but you probably won’t end up using.

Winter Prep For Spring Camping
Winter may seem like an unlikely time to think about camping, but it can actually be a great opportunity to prepare for your springtime outdoor adventures. There are a few things you can do during the winter months to ensure that you’re ready for your next camping trip.
Firstly, you can use the winter months to research potential camping locations. Look for campgrounds that are open in the spring and summer months, and read reviews from other campers to get an idea of what to expect. You can also research hiking trails and other outdoor activities in the area to plan your itinerary.
Secondly, use the winter months to check and repair your camping gear. Inspect your tent, sleeping bags, and other camping equipment for any signs of wear and tear, and make any necessary repairs. This will ensure that your gear is in good condition and ready to use when you head out into the wilderness.
Finally, you can use the winter months to plan out your meals and snacks for your camping trip. Research easy camping recipes that you can make ahead of time and pack with you, and stock up on non-perishable snacks like trail mix, granola bars, and dried fruit.
By taking these steps during the winter months, you’ll be well-prepared for your spring camping trip and can enjoy the great outdoors with ease and comfort.

Going Wide Angle!!!
That’s right all, I am going wide angle lens with the 5D Mark ii. Hopped on KEH to look for a 200-dollar or less lens and found the Canon 20-35mm F/3.5-4.5 USM EF Mount Lens in excellent condition. Boy howdy was this thing clean as hell, looked almost like new. So I tossed it on the 5D the day after I received it and took the shots below. The first two shots were shot at 20mm.
20mm
The next shot was at 35mm.
35mm
So going into 2024 I will be shooting some cool super wide angle shots and amazing landscape shots. So thanks to Ashley at KEH for suggesting the lens hits the spot.

Found The Table I wanted!
So I have been talking about finding a new table for the tent and that was in a small package. This one fits the bill and is a small package. My big thing about the new table was it needed to fit in something like an SUV or smaller truck. Here is the video, check it out.
