We camp in tents when we turkey hunt South Florida.
Tent with floor.
Cots and light sleeping bag.
Thermacell lanterns outside and inside tent.
Dry bags for clothes left in truck with turkey vest/guns/etc.
Small propane cooker for cooking.
Extra tarps to cover tents and truck bed against rain/dew.
Carry a garden hose for bathing when a spigot is available or 1 gallon milk jugs full of water to use at the closest McDonald’s if you happen to go into town. Most have a large stall with a drain in the floor and a changing table to set your towel and clothes.
Most important is the battery powered fans for cooling and a little extra noise for sleeping. Keep all trash well away from camp and preferably off the deck.

I will be going to s/e mo sunday and will camp out sunday night and then probably monday night in central/west mo. camp out all the time....tent with a floor until it is below 40 for highs...usually right next to the vehicle. got a topper for mt 3/4 ton and will be setting it up with a bed and wood stove....

Traveled to denver a few weeks ago and camped out 3 nights on the trip. stopped to shower at state parks. every rest area in kansas on I70 has spots to camp overnight and dump stations. pretty nice spots actually...

Missouri ain’t exactly SE, lol.

s/e mo is se of me.



if your smart enough to use a tent with a floor and have dc fan available it really does not matter much as far as camping.

do I need to go to georgia to be a good camper?

Heck nah, but I do think 90 degree temps with 65%+ humidity is a requirement for SE qualifications, lol. If Thermacell’s aren’t needed then it ain’t the SE either. I’ll be honest, the absolute worst place I ever hunted and camped as far as mosquitoes were concerned was in good ole Mississippi! We’d have to wear face mask just to keep from breathing them in! That’s one place I don’t care if I ever kill a turkey in again in my lifetime!!

Ok, I might go back to Mississippi, but I’ll be staying in a motel somewhere!!

Sounds like kansas where I live off grid with no ac cept in two of my trucks. Childs play....

Yeah, we’ve experienced some hot temps out there as well. One year we’d be needing something for warmth, the next year our thinnest clothes weren’t thin enough, lol. We were in North central Kansas. I remember turning my Thermacell on and using it as a hand warmer!! And that was the last week of May!

Have a great day, WB.
