New to desert camping
Hi y'all!
I'd like to consider myself a fairly experienced tent camper. Grew up in NC most of my life and have spent loads of time exploring the beautiful Appalachians.
However, within recent months I have moved to Mesa, Arizona and I'm feeling the need to scratch the camping itch next weekend, and take my 8y/o son on his first trip.
I have never camped in a desert environment before, so I guess my question is: what do I need to know? Any changes in gear and food storage I should make, areas/weather phenomena to look out for, etc. Pretend I'm an idiot who has never slept in a tent!
Addition trip details:
-mode of transit is a minivan
-likely going to go somewhere in the low desert to avoid chances of mountain snow
-8y/o in tow
-warm clothes will be packed
-trip will likely be 4 nights
-camping in December
