Gray Squad - Camping, 4x4ing, General fun
A personal blog to document our camping and 4x4 experiences as family (of four, 2 kids, 5 and 2). We are new to camping/ 4x4ing and learning as we go. Our aim is to experience as many campsites across South Africa as possible. This blog will hopefully help others starting out as campers to get a feel for what is needed and where to go. In terms of gear shown everything is purchased on a tight budget, most of the gear sourced or shown is secondhand or bought on special. We have recently bought a Vagabond Teardrop Caravan and a roof top tent to make our setup as easy as possible!
