CAMPING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Additionally, here is my Amazon Gear List of a few things that include car camping that I have, in case you are interested. Yes, I earn a commission off these products, but I made sure to only select items I have used, aside from the new Soda Stream (Terra). I have the regular one. https://a.co/dLkywHJ
