I am looking to get into the camping aspect of overlanding. I have off-road gear/recovery gear but not a lot of camping gear. Looking to not break the bank but also don't want to buy garbage.
Currently, I have a tent (haven't used it in 10 years so I need to ensure it still has all the parts and no tears) & folding chairs. I'll be going on a 2 night Camping/Off-Roading trip at SMORR in MO at the end of the month with my 6 y/o son. What are the basics you'd recommend having/buying to start my journey into the world of camping?
Examples: Cooler vs. DC Fridge, Stove, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, etc. Also, if I go the DC Fridge cooler route, how do you keep it from eating away at your battery and/or keep it cold when your car isn't running.
Sorry, I am completely new to this world. Went camping about a month ago with only a tent, blanket, and pillow for my son and I ... it wasn't the most pleasant night of sleep.
