			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/kasseckert"></a>The sun finally peeked from behind the clouds today and it got me to daydreaming about the coming camping season. When the chill of winter lifts from the land, many people like myself begin to feel the call of the wild. Each spring my family and I spend multiple weekends away from the blue glow of the television set and the dull hum of microwaves, refrigerators and washing machines.</p>
<p>For the seasoned and novice camper alike, it does take the proper equipment and advice in order to completely enjoy a week or weekend in the great outdoors. There is a fine line between taking too much and taking too little. The process can take time, but don&#8217;t let the fear of forgetting something keep you from the adventure. In fact, some of the best camping memories arise from trips shared with loved ones with some piece of the equipment puzzle missing. There is one thing though that I must implore upon any camping planner not to forget. I&#8217;m not sure why it happens, but even after years of camping, one of the items that I forget to take most often are <a href="http://www.campingworld.com/category/outdoor-rv-chairs-tables/4">outdoor chairs</a>.</p>
<p>There are spots where such an item is not too important, but if the ground is muddy or rocky, you&#8217;ll wish you had taken something comfortable to sit upon.</p>
