Almost everyone I know tries to go camping at least once a year. We all have that in common. But, there are two different types of campers \u2013 the serious campers and the leisure campers.

My group of friends, we&#8217;re Leisure Campers. And when we go camping in a big group, you can only imagine the enormity of all the gear and supplies we bring with us.<\/p>\n<p>But since we only go camping once a year, it doesn&#8217;t make sense to keep all that gear around the house. We store our camping gear in a <a title=\"self storage facility\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/\">self storage facility<\/a>. In fact, our storage unit has a dedicated camping section. So we&#8217;re ready to camp at a moment&#8217;s notice! After we buy some food. And beer. And ice. And more beer. And probably some more stuff&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>What kind of camper are you?
