My wife is spending wayyyy too much money on camping stuff now. Everyday Amazon is bringing 3 or 4 boxes. I think she is missing the point on roughing it now.
Tell her that just because they sell it doesn't mean that you need it. I admit that we go with far more than a tent and a backpack. Over the years we have paired things down a bit. I do need to pick up some of those glowing bracelets to clothespin to the tent stakes. My husband tends to trip over those in the middle of the night.

I've always wondered-- are those car top carriers actually big enough to haul much of anything? Noticed them this weekend and a lot of people had them. Just don't know. What will your car top carrier hold?

She ordered 3 lanterns. 3 for petes sake. I will pass that along as the 1 we have wasn't enough. Everyone needs their very own in her world. I told her, we buy a slew of those glow in the dark sticks and you mark the path to the hole for the bathroom. No one gets lost. WTF am I going to do with 4 lanterns. She bought the kids whistles so they can call us if they get lost. This was a chance to slim down on the number of kids. Joking of course but whistles. The kids will drive us insane all weekend with them. She loses 2 points for this.

Glow sticks. I put them on my kid when she was little. She didn't fall off the cliffs and nothing ate her.
We have ONE camp lantern. We have a tripod for the fire. We have a camp stove for when it rains and we end up not being able to cook over the fire. Three camp chairs. We take two tents, but they are the little ones that only sleep three people anyhow. One is for sleeping. (One single cot and one queen sized air mattress that has a self inflator/deflator and nothing else fits in there.) One is for changing/bathing. I keep all of the clothes and toiletries in there. Clothes are kept in laundry baskets. I take a box of food. We go to farmer's markets when we are out. We have one cooler. We take my iPod for music. No electricity. Spotty phone service. Washing camp dishes with water heated over the fire. (No disposable plates and whatnot.) I do have some camp pots and pans. Laundry line strung to dry things out. Solar powered weather radio. We have solar shower bags, too. It all fits in the back of my RAV just fine. Strap the bikes to the back and throw a few fishing rods and some tackle in there and my man is a happy guy.
Mrs Ani! Let me show you this awesome store...*insert evil laugh here*

My guess is that Mrs. Ani is an Amazon Prime member and enjoys the benefits of free 2 day ship.
Hey, I signed up for prime because of 'prime day's (what a let down)...now I've been ordering stuff every few days because I love getting packages. "oh, a present for me?!?"

My wife uses amazon prime. You can get stuff so cheap. She spent less than $100 for all that stuff. I have been watching the order history to see when I need to intervene. I'm trying to let her have fun as this is her first time ever. She grew up in Poland with an outhouse and always tells me stories how it scared her. She hates outdoors at night because of it.

My air conditioner is Canadian...so it only displays the temperature in Centigrade. I'm not very good at conversions...

^^^awesome...I have a converter app on my phone, but that's easy enough, thanks!
the math part, the app is finicky...

Fucking coffee droppers. Fucking dropping them everywhere. On the train, subway, station, sidewalk. It's fucking everywhere. Worse than trying to avoid dog shit strolling gay paris, for crying out loud! Here's a hint, if your fingers are so fat from sucking down a half gallon of coffee, iced or hot, with double, double, meaning sugar, cream, whipped or otherwise, that you can't grip the cup, it might be time to drink it black!

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

Multiply by 2 and then add 32. It's rough and dirty but it gets you pretty close.
