When I was a kid we went camping all the time. My parents had a gas stove with two burners and a grill. I remember it was set up at the front of the tent (it was a huge old fashioned house style tent) and it was all fine.
30 years on DH and DS really want us all to go camping (personally have grown accustomed to the delights of a travel lodge in my old age and have developed huge sympathies for my long suffering mother and the sacrifices she made during the cold muddy summers of my youth). As I'm the only one with any experience under canvas they expect me to know what the fuck I'm doing.... But I have no idea! Last time I was in a tent I was 8, my parents still tolerated each other and no one talked about tent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
But the world has moved on. So now I am worried that in my attempts to knock up some bacon sarnies I'm going to kill my whole family???
Please oh wise women of mumsnet, explain in the simplest of terms possible, what I should buy (all we have so far is the tent and sleeping bags) and what I can do to ensure we are all well fed and not hospitalised during out summer endurance test holiday
