What are your biggest problems while camping?

Friday, July 31st, 2009
Christine28L asked:


For a class I have to pick some sort of product associated with camping (but not a tent) and improve on it.

The problem is that I am definitely not a camper! I went once for one night! I’m not even sure what kind of things are used!

Could you just let me know your biggest problems when you are camping (rain leaks through the sleeping bag, fire won’t start, going to the bathroom, etc.) so that I have some sort of starting point? Thanks!

Shawn

What is the best place to go camping, fishing, and hiking?

Friday, July 31st, 2009
strbrstlvr asked:


I want to go camping for spring break in early April and try to do some fishing there too. My friends and I will be in Delaware, and we want to take a road trip somewhere at least 10 hours away.

Preferable somewhere a bit warmer than Delaware and preferably somewhere where we can catch fish, camp, have a fire, and do all that fun camping stuff. If alcohol is permitted, that would be highly favorable!

Can you still enjoy camping if you have a fear of bugs and snakes?

Friday, July 24th, 2009
*me* asked:


How safe is camping really? I have always wanted to try it. Is it realistic with children?

We have a big van, can you sleep in it if you dont want to sleep in the tent? Is this allowed on campsites? Can you bring your dog along? Are there flushing toilets around?

I know nothing about camping, can anyone please give me some answers.

What type of camping stove can burn anything?

Friday, July 24th, 2009
JBlackout asked:


I know there is a type of camping stove that can burn pretty much anything (vodka, meths, petrol, other fuel). I know it has a pump on it, and on the other side of the reservoir is the filler cap. It looks like a dual fuel stove, but these seem only to be able to burn its two fuels. Am I wrong?

What are some good camping lunch ideas that don’t need to stay refrigerated?

Nicole asked:


We will be camping in the desert, so while we can have food on ice for the first day, after that we can’t rely on ice. Need meal ideas that won’t go bad if off ice.

What is the best way to clean a Nylon tent?

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Jess B asked:


I have a 6 person dome tent from L.L. Bean that I purchased in 2001. I’ve used it a few times at bike week in Laconia and it has never been properly cleaned. Is there a mild detergent I could use that won’t harm the waterproofing? Can I re-waterproof if I do ruin it?
