I just created this site

Please bear with me. This site is dedicated to serious campers and survivalists. This will be a site where I offer my reviews of necessary equipment, and the quality of equipment I have used. Always feel free to comment as inventories and reviews coma about as I/we would like to get a well rounded opinion. We can learn from each other.
