All About Tents and Camping

cefur d asked:


What’s the difference between a wilderness campsite and a primitive campsite?

My boyfriend and I are going camping for the first time and I just had a few questions…

Are reservations really that necessary?

I’m looking for a great place to take my young boys camping in North Georgia. I’d like to have a secluded, private tent site on or very near a trout stream or river. I’d prefer potable water be on-site, but can bring water. Would be great if there are short trails that run along the river or stream so the kids can splash around or catch a fish.

I’m not talking about RV camping here. I have a ThermaRest and every morning I wake up sore in my lower back. Is there something else out there that is light and packable?

Does anyone know who the best online retailer is for camping equipment (Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardware)? I am going to purchase a new tent, sleeping bag, and backpack.

I love to camp, but my poor old tent has worn out and it is time to purchase a new one. There are alot more features available now, and I want to know which ones are worth the extra money, and which ones just add more weight to my gear. It was a little overwhelming shopping at the Bass Pro shop last weekend.

Also, where is the best place to find a good deal on these tents? I only have a family of four, so an extra large tent is not needed. Just one that is relativley simple to set up.

Thanks for your input!

I am pregnant with twins and want to go camping. I am wondering if that seems OK to do, and what kinds of precautions should I take. Also is it OK to be on a motor boat at this time during a twin pregnancy. What kinds of camping activities would be OK and what kinds wouldn’t? Any advice on this matter would be helpful and appreciated. I want to go, I want to have fun and I want to be safe. We would be camping in a tent.
