I like packing for camping. I realized this on Friday afternoon, as we hurriedly threw everything into bags for a weekend camping trip with my family. There's no worrying about having brown and black shoes to match all of your outfits, or if people will be wearing skirts or pants to a dressy event.Jeans, shorts, sweatshirt, a few t-shirts. Just the basics. And after the first night, everything smells like campfire smoke anyway, so you might as well just wear the same clothes all weekend.
Obviously camping has its own set of specific necessities--bug spray, sunscreen, matches, shower flipflops. But even with all that, it feels much more low maintenance than packing for a civilized trip. At least, that's my story until we show up at the campsite next weekend and realize we forgot the tent.
