response: Well, are you planning just to recreationally camp, or is this more a survivalist camping. Recreational vehicle campers actually bring along what they need. Survival campers bring as little as they can get away with.
original_response: Well you'll have to make a fire or bring some sort of non-electric cooking element, unless you're a survavilist camper, they don't use such tools.
history: My kids want me to take them camping, and I know absolutely nothing about it! Well, camping involves staying in a tent or similar shelter outdoors away from home. What else would you like to know? Yikes, what am I getting myself into?!  So what do I need to take the kids on a campout? If you're staying in a tent, you'll need that. I don't really know what else, right now. What do you plan to do while camping? I guess I'll be cooking. How will I cook the food?
knowledge: Survivalist campers set off with as little as possible to get by, whereas recreational vehicle travelers arrive equipped with their own electricity, heat, and patio furniture.
