Off to the Campground!

Abdominal pains be damned!!  It's 2:20 on Friday afternoon and I am working up my list of stuff that I am going to need for camping this weekend.  In casy you are wondering I am off to Forget Me Not Pond, just SW of Bragg Creek, AB.  No let me confess, I haven't really been camping since I was about 8. I'm 40 now. You do the math. 

Understand that I am one of those people that will either be vastly over prepared or vastly underprepared.  I am really hoping that this time I hit the sweet spot.  I have a jerry can of gas for the Westfalia, jsut in case.  Some extra engine oil, spare tire, some basic tools and a tire pump.  Now I have to figure out food, beer, wine, snacks etc. to keep me going in the bush for a couple of days.

At this point I am sure that I will of course forget some critical piece of equipment but I'll have to improvise at this point.  There will be no blogging, surfing the internet or even texting this weekend.  I am cut off from civilization.  Just me and my Westy.

If you have any tips for camping in your Westfalia PLEASE pass them along. I'm a noob at this.
