I joined a hiking group about one year ago and have been going just about every weekend here in Las Vegas for day hikes of 3-8 miles. This group also has occasional camping trips. Problem is that I've never been camping in my life so I don't have any camping gear (nor don't know what to get either). The only thing I have is my Osprey Atmos 50 backpack. What is the best resource for first time campers as far as essential camping gear, food, etc..? Thanks!
