I am what is known by some a trout bum. I will take fishing trips on the least expensive route possible by myself. If weather is nice, warm, and dry, I have a camp packed in a military duffel that consists of a sleeping bag, Thermarest mats, pillows, tarp, fan/light, and a nice 3 season pack tent. If weather is windy/stormy or cold past the rating on my sleeping bag, its inside the truck or a cheap motel. If I get too tired and lazy, my reclining seats sleep well to. I have weathered a hurricane in the Smokey Mtns in the front seat of the Blazer after winds threatened to level my tent. I slept through Tornadic winds that were less than a mile away in the back of my Silverado with a camper shell.

I carry a small tub with propane single burner stove and lantern with other essential, a small tub with cooking supplies and pots, an a folding charcoal grill with charcoal in a 3lb coffee can for cooking. A nice folding chair and fishing/kayak accessories make for a great campsite. I love the outdoors.
