Primitive Camping Gear We are well in the summer swing now and have had national holidays. Many people have gone camping many times now. Most people end up basically bringing their house with them and stuff all of their junk into a tiny little dome tent. But, some people enjoy minimalist camping or primitive camping. They also enjoy the minimalist primitive backpacking skills. This type of camping is what I am talking about now. I am not saying that I absolutely love this style of camping. What I want to achieve today is to explain to you how important it is to reduce your camping needs. I want you to learn to be comfortable with less equipment.
