We just headed out - First place you hit is the camp store that is usually stocked with the necessary essentials. Then there is always a WALMART/LOWES store close by that carries everything you will need. WALMART even has the food you eat...
Don't throw out your tent camping items - We still use ours all the the time. I consider them my PLAN-B items...
The biggest thing the Tent camping did for us was making the bonfire... Always bring along the Diamond STRIKE-A-FIRE fire starters... Works on any and all bonfires in seconds
