Probably one of the most memorable times of camping will be huddling around your tents at night telling stories and then sleeping under a blanket of stars for the first time, or helping to start a roaring campfire in the morning to cook breakfast or “brunch” in the “wild outdoors.”  These are experiences so few individuals today have  partaken of, making the venture even more appealing and attractive to try.

Amazon.com is a website that allows people to buy their wants or needs without ever leaving the comfort of their home.

A good sturdy tree limb is needed to accomplish this, but nature has many of these if you just look.

If you’re planning on climbing high mountains, then you need to be darned sure that you have a mountain tent that is as tough as the conditions you’re likely to meet. The last thing you want to experience at 7,500 meters in the Himalayas or on a deadly mountain such as K2 is to have your tent blown down or broken. So here are a couple of tips to help you find the right sort of expedition tent for your next big adventure.

The first thing you need to do is look only at tents that are specifically rated as expedition tents. In some circumstances you can get away with what is known as a 4-season tent, but to be honest the difference in price and weight between an expedition tent vs a 4-season one is not so great, so you may as well go for the tougher option. Do not fool yourself into thinking that a lightweight tarp or even a bivvy bag will be enough to keep you warm. An emergency bivouac bag can save your life if you are stranded away from your tent, but it would be madness to expect to rely on one as your main source of shelter since you won’t have nearly enough space to fire up your cooker to melt snow for drinking water. Without water, your days on the mountain will be limited indeed.

The next big decision you need to make is between going for a single-walled tent or a double walled tent. A few years back there was not such luxury. All tents had two walls (apart, that is, from the cheap knock offs that you could use for backyard camping and nothing else). These days there are breathable and waterproof fabrics that are strong and light. Using a single-walled tent can cut the weight you have to carry by almost half to about 2.5 kilograms from about 4.5 kg or so for a traditional double-walled tent. The downside is that you will pay more and should probably not expect it to last as long. If you are an elite mountaineer, have a gear manufacturer sponsoring you, are planning a solo or are just rich then this is a good choice. For the rest of us it probably means humping a heavier mountain tent along in our back packs.

When you go camping, the campsite that you pick can have a huge influence on your camping experience. If you end up with rocky or sloped ground, you won.t sleep well. If you end up downwind from the bathrooms, your trip will œstink. Here.s what you should look for when picking out a good place to camp.

Your main priority should always be the quality of the ground in the campsite. What I mean by that is you need to good spot to pitch your tent. If you end up with a lot of sticks, rocks or other hard objects, you are likely to damage your tent (and your back.) Read the rest of this entry »

I have to admit – although I love going camping and will jump at almost any opportunity to spend a week in the woods, hot weather is not my favorite time to go camping. Cold weather camping isn’t so bad to me, as there are things you can do to alleviate the cold temperatures, but there’s not a whole lot you can do in hot weather. You’re pretty much just going to be hot, and that’s part of why it’s not my favorite time to go camping. That said, however, summer is often a very convenient time to go camping since the kids are out of school and lots of people are taking vacation anyway, so let’s take a look at some strategies to make camping in hot weather more enjoyable.
