What are the most important things I should pack for the trip!

I have been on many hikes and camping trips…I love it. As a former US Marine, I would suggest 6 MAJOR items: Knife, Water, Rations, Waterproof Matches/Flint, Blanket, First Aid Kit. Other items such as toilet papper, baby wipes, rubbing alcohol, sunglasses, BUG SPRAY, Advil PM…you will sleep like a baby, extra clothes, TENT, trash bags(for keeping clothes and other things dry if it rains)…and so on.

Have fun on your trip!

Looking for one that does not leek if it rains. We went camping last year and the rain got in our tent it was one we bought from wal-mart and is Ozark Trail. If you could help me find a great tent I would appreciate it.

I swear by Euerka tents. I currently own 3 of various sizes. The oldest is now 13 or 14 years old and with a new coat of seam sealer, would not hesitate to take it on a camping trip. It has been used about 150 nights so far.

I work in the camping industry, NO not for Eureka! I am a manager in a large nationwide sporting goods company. I can basically get any tent I choose, but I choose Eureka due to their quality of workmanship, customer service, and value for the money.

Usually you put the clothes and gear in a seperate pack. Usually you use your school bag as a day pack because it contains most of the stuff you will need during the day. I suggest you put your sleeping bag and clothes in the day pack and then move the stuff from the day pack into the school bag with all your school stuff.

I am just trying my best

Gosh. I’m not sure where you are located but REI used to rent such gear, but I’d try any local sports/outdoor supply store to ask them.
This would be the kind of gear you either just buy or borrow from a family member/friend/neighbor.
Have fun!

Bushcraft, camping, homeless,shelter http://www.bettercamper.com/camping-tent/mosquito-tent-hammock-bushcraft-camping-homelessshelter http://www.bettercamper.com/camping-tent/mosquito-tent-hammock-bushcraft-camping-homelessshelter#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:53:04 +0000 admin http://www.bettercamper.com/camping-tent/mosquito-tent-hammock-bushcraft-camping-homelessshelter Proof that this is a tough little hammock. Bought it on line about $140 it is worth that. It is an emergency shelter in the event of hurricane we can evacuate and I can have a good place to rest as long as I have two spaced trees.

Have you ever slept in a tent on the ground? Even with an air mattress, it sucks! Well this way you are off the ground you have a self induced breeze by way of rocking, lightweight, stores quickly, barely know you have a tent on your back, can be set up on trees, cars, poles, anywhere you can safely tie off to you could tie off over water if you want. Paddle out to a site with an inflatable tie off get your rest no body to bother you especially the police they love to hassle you if you are homeless. Paddling to a place like this gets you away from all the crazies too if you think about it.
I will get larger netting so I can save on the Deet hate to put that stuff on it makes you hot. Hope this is helpful ask any question you wish I will answer it.

There are many versions and brands of tent hammock google tent hammock and you will see plenty of them some people blog about them and give you their opinion of their time with their product I want to see Cabalas carry these or Bass Pro.

This is not a proper setup. It is for demonstration purpose only the trees on my property are not spaced enough if they were the swing would be better. The rain fly came with it should be taught again demonstration only not set up correctly it is a great looking package that blends in well with the surroundings. Low impact because you do not have to disturb the ground why bother no rocks roots plants to poke you in the back. You can sleep on your side roll over side to side whatever you need to get comfortable. The surgery I have had is called a 360 they cut you front and back install titanium rods and triangles tidy up with bone implants again it’s major surgery. My truck was flipped by a tornado I was injured hence the surgery and the need to sit occasionally I almost have to carry a chair with me at times. I have walked the 6 miles to the local supercenter to see If I could make it. Blisters on my feet I made it had to rest a few times but made it.

My climate is mild (more like a jungle) if you have to deal with snow get a Clark they appear to be top of the line and offer warmth with their under side bag that can be filled with cloths moss whatever. Clark acted shocked when I told them my weight I guess they feel the overweight handicapped don’t deserve the great out doors. How are we to loose the weight by crashing in the sleep number bed because if I can’t be comfortable I will not go?

This device opens the door for me to get active. I will loose this weight you can count on that. Was loosing weight at work will do a video on that later but truckers usually gain weight at work I am the opposite I loose weight at work.

PLEASE leave a comment or a rating good bad or ugly I leave comments please do the same Thank you.

I am going camping for the weekend, so I will need 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts and 1 lunch. I have an ice chest, but nothing to cook with. Someone there might have a Coleman stove to use.

Camping pizzas are the best for lunch or a campfire snack
Bread
Butter
Peperoni(?)
Moz. cheese
Jar of pizza sauce
Make like a grilled cheese in a pan

Hot dogs and hamburgers always a staple when camping

breakfast
beagles, egg and cheese sandwich all done in the frying pan
