All About Tents and Camping

Nunu asked:


This is our first time, my husband and I are planning a camping over the weekend. Is it a good time/weather to camp. Where can we go? What do we need to be prepared for? We don’t own any camping equipment yet and are still exploring. Can we rent it from someplace. Answers/Sugestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

My family is planning a lot of camping, hiking and local travel to recreation areas this Summer. I am wanting to put together a list of ideas and recipes for some easy fun trail mixes, camping, hiking and travel food that my children can help me prepare.. Snacks and foods that carry easy with little to no mess or a lot of clean up, store easy and won’t melt or go bad fast in the Summer heat… Kid friendly snacks would be great! Thank you in advance.. Have a great Summer!

I am going on a long-term camping trip at a campground and won’t have a car with me, what is the best way to protect my items and tent from theft or vandalism while I’m off hiking, sightseeing and exploring?

I’m going camping for 3 days and was wondering how many canisters I need to bring. I only want to bring the minimum as I have to carry everything on my back. I’m probably only going to cook one meal a day and boil one lot of water for tea a day. Will one canister be enough ? The stove I’m using is an old camping gaz stove which uses the blue butane/propane cansiters.

I’m about to go camping for 2 months (in the height of a hot Brazilian summer) in a larg-ish two man tent and want to hear any suggestions about keeping the tent cool in the mornings. You know you terrible it is to wake up in a 45 deg sauna…. ANY ideas would be much appreciated! Top points for the best suggestion!

I am going camping this weekend - only have a propane table-top grill and the campfire to cook on. Any suggestions beside the usual hamburgers and hotdogs ? Thanks.
Wow - I already love all the great ideas!

Hi,

My wedding is in August and I have a 40 x 60 tent, my Aunt rented bulb lights for the tent… however, I would rather use a ton of chinese lanterns. Does anyone have any ideas for stringing them? I planned on buying LED lights, because we don’t want to have to run a generator. Any suggestions? Anyone know where I can buy them in bulk?

Thank for any information you can give me.

Farah asked:


I need a tent that will keep my baby enclosed in its bassinet and keep my curious kitty out. I have found tents that fit cribs and play yards but none to fit a bassinet like the “Eddie Bauer Musical Rocking Bassinet” (about 15″ wide and 28″ long)…any advice?
