Help needed with purchase of a camping tent?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under camping tent | 5 Comments »

we are going to go camping and buying a 6+ berth second hand tent, there are so many different makes we don’t know what to look for, what are good makes and what should we avoid, thanks.
It;s for a holiday in North Yorkshire!!
For me, hubby and 4 kids 5 and under.

Have you ever thought of doing 2 tents? One for you and your hubby and the other for the kids? You can get a 2 man tent for you and your hubby and another 2 man tent for the kids…the kids are small enough that 4 can easily fit in a 2 or 3 man tent.

It`ll give you and your hubby privacy, you`ll have a cleaner area to sleep in bc you know the kids will track dirt and things into the tent, the kids will have their very own tent so they`ll feel like they are camping by themselves but with you and your hubby right next to them and in the end 2 2man tents will be cheaper than 1 6man tent

Camping tents: All-mesh walls vs partially meshed walls. What are their pros and cons?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under camping tents | 5 Comments »

I’m shopping for a 3 season camping tent that can stand up nicely against some western Washington state weather, which is wet and somewhat cold (50-60 degrees). I’ve noticed that some tents have fully mesh walls while others have nylon walls with mesh windows here and there. Could someone explain the benefits of one over the other? I would think that all mesh would be awesome against condensation, but does it provide protection against the cold? Plus, I would imagine that all mess walls are a bit less durable too. Am I wrong?

With all three season tents the key to success and dryness is ventilation in cold, freezing, wet weather you need the ventilation to keep the inside of your tent dry. For some the more is better. To me it is the design and whether the air has adequate ways to move through the tent without also being so breezy that the tent won’t hold in some heat. I prefer a tent that has some side wall going up from the floor and a full screen canopy through the top. And a complete rain fly with vestibule that allows cooking if need be in the vestibule and radiant heat from a stove into it. Never cook inside your tent as carbon monoxide build up can kill you and spilled food is a critter attractor. hence the reason for the vestibule.

Weight factors in as well, tents with full screens tend to be lighter and during those warm summer nights when all you really need is a bug screen so you can watch the meteors fall what could be better. You do sacrifice some durability with the full screen and that is why I prefer the half wall half screen.

So I wouldn’t say your wrong and I would recommend this tent,

Does anyone know how to make a rope hammock?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under hammock | 5 Comments »

Does anyone know how to make a rope hammock. Not the hammock with fabric. Are there any websites with detailed info of how to do it from start to finish?

Step 1 – Go to ebay
Step 2 – Buy a hammock for 20 dollars
Step 3 – Put up hammock and drink a beer

I would like to know if there is anyone that has info about camping equipment being donated to the homeless?
