Summer is now a few short months away, and if you’re of an outdoorsy persuasion, chances are you’re going to be wanting to head into the wild and enjoy a bit of camping in the very near future.  Before you go, it’s imperative you have the right equipment, so be sure you have these 5 essentials packed away when you head outdoors.
