Air Mattress, tent, cooler, folding chairs ect. I need it to be a very durable brand. My boyfriend and I are fairly overweight. I'd say the weight capacity between the two of us should be 500-600+ (he is either just below 300 or just above, im just below 250) if it matters.(don't hate fat kids need love too) And where would you suggest I buy them. I honestly don't want to order offline unless its absolutely needed. Price isn't an issue if its absolutely worth it.


Answer
You can easily spend ten times as much money on backpacking gear from high-quality brands as you need to spend for car camping equipment. Top brands include MSR, Big Agnes, The North Face, Marmot, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear. However, you may be able to survive in gear that you purchase from a department store. You can purchase a double-thick air mattress from a department store that is about a fourth as much in cost as a Big Agnes Dual Core sleeping pad that is only 2.5 inches thick. Buy the gear to meet your needs, not the brand that seems the "best" to you.

I need to buy a compact, lightweight tent for a cycling holiday in France. Can anyone recommend something relatively cheap (under £75) and a decent sleeping bag? Thanks


Answer
I highly recommend this ...
Coleman 2008 SunDome 7-Foot by 7-Foot 3-Person Dome Tent
http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-SunDome-7-Foot-3-Person-Orange/dp/B001C1A362/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1248165586&sr=1-1&tag=aor-sale-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957

This past weekend was my first experience with this tent - a simply awesome performer for under [...] bucks. I sealed the seams on the rainfly the day before and upgraded the tent stakes all for an additional $[...]. Set-up was a breeze and took under 10 minutes (I placed a tarp down below). Good thing, because the rain came 5 minutes later in buckets and lasted all night. The tent held up like a champ with no leakage what so ever. The size was just perfect for two adults and a few gear bags (or a kid). Highly recommended!

Coleman Ash Canyon 25-Degree Rectangular Oversize Sleeping Bag

This a nice and comfortable sleeping bag. The zipper works nicely and it is a very nice and roomy sleeping bag. It rolls up nice and fairly compact compared to my old one. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone interested in buying a sleeping bag.
