I would go with a dome tent, they're easy for one person to erect and you can find them in just about any size you might need. After one is up it's more stable than other tents. After a week long camping trip in Big Bend National Park there was a major storm during the night, next morning dome tents were the only ones standing, impressed me.

Unless you want to be soaked by rain, eaten by bugs, windblown all night and puttin on a strip show for the forest, I would say that yes, you should use the fly with a tent. My suggestion - tell your friend thanks but no thanks and buy yourself one at www.mec.com, or rent one at your trusty outfitter. \n\nHappy trails! PS. Don't keep your food in your tent.

Try searching the American Camping Association website at http://www.acacamps.com you can search there by location and age groups. After you find a camp get permission from your social worker which shouldn't be a problem.Good luck!

Definitely tent camping, backpacked in whenever possible.\nAlas, my days are over for that, due to physical illness and limitations, so these days it's an RV.  It is still camping in an RV, ok it's not as rustic, or primitive, but when the choice is RV or no camping ... I will take the RV!\n\n(My choice ...No generator, no real extra's ... still lots of time spent outdoors ... just easier cooking and a better bed)

You never get used to those god-forsaken things, hun.  That's why the best rack is always the top one... preferably where there aren't any pipes and vents overhead.  Prime sleeping real estate.

Camping Equipment: The company Coleman has a battery operated heater "PowrCat Heater". I have seen them at Target or go to any store that sells Camping gear.\nYou also should find the TV there. Or go to the Coleman website

i love camping with or without a tent. without a tent i have seen things that i would not have seen with a tent. during a meteor shower i saw for the first time a meteor explode during entry. it was so cool. i have also seen more wildlife without a tent. but without a tent you have to be care full of insects crawling into your bag. a mummy bug solves that.

No, the GC does not offer tents at the campsites.  You can either go without a tent altogether, just sleep on the ground.  There really isn't anything to worry about except maybe mosquitoes, and you can just apply DEET before you go to sleep.\n\nAs far as carrying a tent, I just place mine on top of my pack and strap it down with two straps to the pack.  There's no need to place it inside the pack.

Yeah I remember seeing this a while back. \n\nIt's a one-off custom, and there have been other ideas like that, also one-off customs. If you want one, fastest way is to build your own. \n\nMe, I'm happy with a tent or a Hennessey Hammock.

Backpacker Magazine regularly reviews equipment, including sleeping bags.\n\nSecond link is article about why Sierra Trading Post is the best place to purchase equipment IMHO.\n\nYou have to factor in a few things:\nAre you using the bag in winter or high-elevation conditions?\nAre you limited by how much weight you can carry?\nWhat, if anything, is underneath your sleeping bag - a foam pad or pine needles or something else?\n\nDo you individually heat up or get chilled when you sleep?\nAre you looking to zip this bag together with another?\n\nHow many days a year are you using the sleeping bag?  It's not a good idea to store it in the stuff sack.  \n\nIf you decide you want to trek without a sleeping bag or tent, check out the third link.\n\nHappy Trails.

I found two camps called camp Harmony.  Both have pictures on their site that you can draw as needed.

A lot of individual camps will offer "Camperships"  or scholorships for kids to attend when cost is a problem.  So you can pick your camp based on qualities that are important besides cost.  Check out the ACA (american camping association) website.  They will let you look at all the registered day camps in your area.  Good luck!

I have a great outdoors tent too! I my poles broke during a huge storm. I could not find their phone number anywhere. Then i started to think about it, and i was going to end up spending about 20 bucks for them. I needed them in a hurry too! So I went to walmart and looked to see if they had poles, but they didn't, I did find a 3 person tent though for 25 dollars, so i got that. I Have had that tent for over a year now, and it is so much more easier to take care of, and it's small. That might be your best option right now. If the weather were you live is at least 25 degrees F. at night, you will be find. but if you still have snow, you might want to reconsider that thought. It was about 15 one night and that was a bit chilly. The next night it was around 25 degrees and it was more comfortable. Good luck, and have fun!

Hi. there are a few places you can check out. Im not sure where your from but if your from Sydney, Kent St in the city has about 6 camping stores all in a row which is really convenient and there is quite a large range. However, proper camping stores are always more expensive so try large shops like K-mart.

You need to contact the manufacturer. Do you still have the box? the instuction booklet, anything with contact information on it? If not, can you go to the store where you bought it and get them to let you open a box and copy this information?\n\nNext time you buy a tent, go to REI (www.rei.com). Everything you buy will then have an unconditional life-time guarantee and THEY will help you with maintenance, parts, repairs, and advice. In fact, even if you never buy anything, they will still help you with advice, so try asking them too. They have live chat.
