The pd.o Guide to Camping
Kjell Wooding | 1992
I wrote this down the night before a camping trip almost 10 years ago. I've been consulting and adding to that crumpled little piece of paper ever since.
This digital version captures the message of what was written, but will never be able to quite capture its spirit. After all: how do you scratch an immensely hung-over looking ASPIRIN onto a web site?
