CAMPING

MY MUST HAVE CAMPING GEAR

It's been two years since I've gone camping but there are many things that help a low vision person have a pleasant experience. One is camping near the bathroom. Here are my must have items.cam

First-Up rope light. You can clip them to a 10 x 10 sports tent too. They come in 12' for $7.88 and 39' for $15.88 at Wal-Mart.

Ozark Trail LED 24 tent light for $6.88 at Wal-Mart. I keep this light hanging in a small closet in my bedroom.

I have one with three lights. I found some on Amazon for under $2.04. Hands Free "Clip On" light for fishing.

These cute flashlights are at Farmer's Tractor Supply for $1.99 each. By Metrix 9-LED. Comes in three colors.
