large camping tents reviews image
Daniel
I am a police explorer and we are having a camping trip (4 days 3 nights). They are bringing the food and shelter, I have never gone camping before so i know very little of what to bring.
Oh I live in Arizona and there is going to be showers in walking distance.
1 more thing we are allowed to bring knifes and all that good stuff!
Answer
You have to ask, WHERE are you camping. Near a beach, deep in the forest trail, mountain, well managed accessible park?
WHAT are you doing? Is it a family event with children? Just adults but relaxed, or "real" camping?
CONDITIONS: Will you have water and electricity? Shower and toilet facilities? Check weather forecast.
Go to the state park website whichever state you are camping and read the reviews and research the details.
But for generalization: cover the essentials.
1. Lighting - Gas/propane/battery lantern, LED headlamps.
2. Sleeping pad/bag and pillow - $5 foam at wal-mart or self inflating pad for about $20-25. or an airbed for about $80. You need to protect your spine if you are not used to sleeping on the ground.
3. First Aid kit, insect repellent, sun screen, citronella candles.
4. Tools - knife, ax, mallet/hammer, small shovel, matches/lighter, multi-tool.
5. Shelter - Ropes, Nylon, bungees. Tarps - In case it rains, most tents are not water proof.
6. Clothing - Minimal essential clothing, they take up space quickly, but don't run out. Or just keep them in the car.
7. Water - Plenty of drinking water, you might have to run to a store after 2 days. More if you plan to do physical activities like sports. And get some Ice while you're at the store. Extra Ice is always good.
8. Coolers - Keep raw meats cold and separate from ready to eat food.
9. Cooking - Propane stoves or coal and fire wood. utensils. Don't forget the propane.
10. Hygiene - Your personal kit, Dish soap/sponges, trash bags.
11. Cash - You never know.
12. Toys - whatever constitute to you as a toy. Board games, cards, musical instruments, boom box, bike, hammock.
I gave you a list not of items but conditions and what to fill them with.
Basically, whatever you do inside, you're just doing it outside.
Coordinate with others and try to help each other.
Camping is about functioning as a community.
If food and cooking are covered, it should even be easier.
You will end up with:
1 large camping backpack - Basic essentials
1 medium cooler - Food/water
1 handheld lamp.
Be safe and Have Fun!

How are Tahoe Gear tents?
guest
I'm doing some research on tents because I need to spend two weeks in one. I wanted a big tent and I found Tahoe Gear tents which are pretty big sizes. I was wondering if anyone has used one or has heard anything about them. Are they good quality (rain, wind, non-tearing) and what are some other comparable brands that make very large camping tents?
Thanks
Answer
These tents are of low grade and quality below Coleman or Eureka, essentially a knock off brand. you would be better spending the few extra dollars for the Coleman. Amazon has them listed with very few reviews in comparison
