what you should look for in a camping tent

2008-12-07T04:04:00.001-08:00

No camping expedition should be taken if you do not possess a good camping tent. The camping tent should be tough to withstand rough usage when camping. Camping tents made by reputed companies come with 5 year guarantees and are capable of withstanding strong winds and torrential rains. They vary in price depending on the quality and measurements of the tent. A dome tent is the lightest and easiest among camping tents to put up.

Dome tents can house a single person and some come in larger sizes for family outdoor living. The traditional frame tents are heavy and take a long time to set up. Some campers prefer renting camping tents because they are used short term and renting is easy on the budget. If you like a relaxed camping trip choosing package deals at campsites that provide all the equipment including tents is a convenient alternative. A good camping tent is the basis of successful and comfortable camping.

Joys of Camping World

2008-11-05T04:06:00.001-08:00

Potential fun is endless in the camping world. Enjoying the benefits of the great outdoors is the main attraction of the camping world. Hiking, swimming, and a little bit of rest and relaxation are just a few of the many possibilities to partake in. The joys can be endless in the camping world. However, being prepared not only for the activities you plan on, but also those you would rather avoid, can make the trip run more smoothly.

The first thing that you will need for camping is a tent, or some sort of shelter in which to stay dry. Dealing with the elements will not be a problem with shelter from a tent or other shelter. You never know if weather conditions will be favorable or very stormy in the camping world, and there is quite a range! In cases of extreme heat, a strategically placed tent could shield you from the sun. For further protection, having a sturdy rain fly covering the roof of your tent can keep you dry. It is also a good idea to spread a tarp beneath the tent to keep water from seeping in. If you have an ample budget, investing in a pop up camper can be a great alternative for shelter. There are many different kinds of shelter that can be purchased for use in the camping world.

Feeling the cool breeze blow through your tent, sleeping under the stars can be two of the best parts of camping. Padding and sleeping bags are two items that can make sleeping in a tent even more comfortable. There are many different styles of sleeping bags, depending on your needs. Conventional sleeping bags that zip up around your chest are one option. Mummy style sleeping bags are another option, and they can zip up and around your head. You can get a sleeping bag that suits your needs as far as temperature range, material and color criteria. It is good to have mats or padding for beneath your sleeping bag, too. Depending on your comfort needs, padding is available from blow up mattresses to foam egg crates. At night you can be warm and comfortable with the right gear.

There are a wide array of possibilities for outdoor activities, as well. Something many people enjoy doing is hiking. Terrain and distance vary with the difficulty level of hiking trails. Even on beginner trails, it is best to be prepared. One item you should bring is bottled water. Keeping hydrated is of the utmost importance while engaging in any exercise, hiking included. Another item you will need is a pair of sturdy shoes, such as hiking boots. Hiking boots can be had for any needs and budget, depending on the materials and colors desired. A Global positioning system or compass are good to have in case you get lost. You may even want to bring a light snack such as trail mix for longer treks. With these provisions, you should be comfortable and safe while hiking.

Dry matches, cooking gear and firewood are also important items to have while camping. Years of camping can be enjoyed with the right durable gear. Follow these tips and you will make endless wonderful memories while camping.

No fun in the rain

2008-11-01T05:13:00.001-07:00

I heard someone coughing and vomiting in the other tent. It was the older twin. So he and Dad had to come in the big tent and shared one sleeping bag and beach towels to sleep on. Then it started to rain. It continued to rain the rest of the night. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, all night long. Then the it started to leak in the tent above my head, at the bottom of my sleeping bag, from the ceiling.

I switched on the flashlight to where else it was dripping, the whole tent seemed to be leaking. Everyone's sleeping bag and pillow was damp or soaking wet. I couldn't sleep the rest of the night.

We took the Coleman tent back and exchanged for a smaller more waterproof one. After everything dries apply seam sealer and also spray the tent with silicone spray to help it repel water. Eureaka! Seam sealer! We should have done that the first time. We should have been better prepared for rain. Sometimes you learn the hard way!

Swimming In The Stream

2008-09-21T04:07:00.001-07:00

I love to camp. And I really really love to be able to swim when I'm camping. Especially in the summer, I just love a dip when I'm out in the woods. I'm not saying that everybody enjoys the same things when camping But, for me, a dip in the water is more refreshing than The best swimming pool in the world. So, I say, no matter what the temperature is out there, you need to give this idea some serious consideration even if you think it's wacky. Even if you don't I'm sure you will enjoy your camping experience. You're in the woods. That's pretty good!

Summer camps for kids

Summer will be here before you know it. Here are a few ideas on summer camps. Christian Camping

Summer camps could be a form of holiday, a learning experience, or a bit of both. Some of the maximum benefits summer camps provide is the chance for children to make new friends, learn new skills or just look up upon current ones, and stay busy and active all through the summer months.

Remember your first tent

2008-09-06T04:05:00.001-07:00

Remember your first tent? It's cool to watch my kids with their first tent experiences. Sure, the tent may only be in the living room. I just love watching the little ones start to explore the idea of sleeping in a tent. I think this is something you should really encourage. Think of all the rewarding times you've had camping. Now think about all of those great things that lie ahead for your kids. Why not push camping on your kids when they are very young. So, I'll get off my soap box and back on point. Camping is for the entire family and you need to think about it a little bit while your kids are young before the opportunity slips away.

Beach camping post

2008-09-01T04:20:00.001-07:00

For those who want to enjoy camping and being outdoors, but do not want to run the risk of running into some lions, and tigers, and bears; a great alternative camping location for them to go to would be the beach.

Another great idea is to camp on the campsite of the beach. There are a lot of commercialized beaches that have special areas set aside for camping. The best thing to do would be to make reservations ahead of time, because sometimes the campsites get too crowded.

Those who want to have the best beach camping experience should make the proper preparations ahead of time. This way, they would have the most memorable and enjoyable experience during their camping trip on the beach.

Stories from the outdoors

2008-08-26T04:14:00.001-07:00

When i was really young about 10 years old we went camping in a romote location this trip i will never forget this was the first time i ever went camping. My cousin Frankie boy was there i don't see him much ant more but back then i looked up to him i don't know why but i did he always treated us bad. I remeber that there was this water fall that he climbed up and that we were the only people there. I had a great time even tyhe drive there i seen planes from Lagaurdia landing almost on the cars on the grand central parkway. And we also seen a bad motorcycle accident that cause the rider to be decapitated its all in my head still till this day. A great site to see..

Even though my husband's family had a pop-up camper when he was a kid, we decided that that kind of camping wasn't for us. We wanted to do the tent thing. Instead, we added time periods and added canvas tents suitable for the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. Non-historic camping now generally involved a cabin, and with a little shopping around or a check of state park sites, some good deals are still available. Pennsylvania state parks generally open their campgrounds from March through late December and the state Website offers a wealth of information about the facilities, the park features and the surrounding area. You can find everything from rustic sites accessible only by foot to lodges that will sleep up to 14 people at the state parks.

Scouts save the day

2008-07-31T04:11:00.001-07:00

We were invited on a family camping weekend with my son's cub scout group. I nearly panicked since I had never been camping before, but everyone really wanted to go. Luckily, the scouts' invitation came with ideas for what to bring on the trip to learn more about camping. I checked out all the sites, plus a few more, and went to the store to get what we'd need. Between a couple camping gear websites and the big box discount store, I located everything that we would need. It was still all new to me, but when we arrived at the campground the more experienced parents were on hand to make sure that all the families had a good time. We did. Thanks to the scouts.
