Camping was fun. I felt like I was pretty well prepared. It's better to have more than you need than not enough. All my camping stuff is really starting to come together. I have a really neat little one-burner stove that worked awesome. We used it to boil water for coffee lots of times and also used it in addition to the two-burner Coleman stove that Matt had when we were making dinner. My stove uses small butane canisters -- as opposed to a normal camp stove which uses propane. The advantage is that it is smaller, you don't have a propane tank that is external to the stove itself. The disadvantage is that it doesn't last as long and costs more for butane. Not that bad though: I only used up one for two days of camping at 2.99 each.
I also bought a queen size air mattress for inside the tent which was really nice. We would have froze with out it. It says on the box that having a air mattress adds ten degrees of warmth to your sleeping conditions. It got cold at night but it was beautiful sunny during the days.

I put the bed in my bus. We didn't sleep in it though, no curtains yet.

The bus is packed and ready to go. This is some of Matt and Shanna's stuff too...
