fullmetalglove asked:


Hi everyone.

I am planning to have a bike tour from Chicago to NY this summer. So I need to find few camping light-weight camping gears. Basically I need.

1 pot
1 gasoline stove
1 tent (3 season for 1 person)
1 sleeping bag
all of those around $ 120~160

I figured I can shop them in one spot and save some shipping cost.
I do not care whether they are used or new but I want to keep them cheap yet reliable. Is there any store that offers a reliable bargain?

What type of food should I take camping?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Peyton S asked:


I’m riding the C&O Canal from start to finish (185miles) in two days so I’ll be camping one night. What type of food is good for a trip like this? I always take dried fruit and granola bars but I’ll be needing a breakfast, lunch and dinner at some point. I will not have a camp stove, but fires are permitted in some of the camping areas. I’m looking for something pre-packaged, small, fairly yummy, can get stuffed in a pack and extremely to prepare.

Thanks for the help peoples!

My dogs had torn the door of my little tent in my backyard. Is there anyway I can get it back to normal without anyone knowing that it was torn?

The Aggie asked:


I have a 2 person backpacking tent. When using the rain fly and after a full night’s sleep, the inside of the tent is completly damp. Is this from normal tranpiration of the people inside? How do I reduce the amount of moisture or completly stop it? Is it just the tent that I have?

What would be the punishment for erecting a tent outside the London Eye?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
martinyearly asked:


If, at night time, somebody put up a tent on the grass outside the London eye and attempted to spend the night, what would happen? Are they likely to get off with a warning? If they were fined how much would it be?

Also, exactly what laws would this be breaking? And how would one go about getting permission for this kind of thing?

What is the best tent campground at Glacier National Park?

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
MeanMommiesClub asked:


I note that there are two campground at Glacier National Park - Fish Creek and St. Mary. It appears that Fish Creek is on the water. I am looking for the best tent campground and the best site at that campground. I am not really interested in being in a campground with a bunch of Motorhomes. Would prefer a more secluded type of place. Unable to do back country due to the fact that it is going to be just me and my young daughter.

During the ceremony at Arlington, the guard goes into a small tent with a green roof out of view just before the ceremony begins. Anyone know why?
