This is very much my girlfriend's view.
However we're never going to be hardcore campers. It's essentially a way of getting together with a group of friends, who all have children of a similar age, for a weekend. We did it fior the first time last year and borrowed absolutely everything. This year I've started to get some stuff together, but rather than get the essentials like a table,which we'll be able to borrow again, I figured it would be better to go for the more "luxury" items that make experience more comfortable like a carpet for the tent and an inflatable sofa.
