Comment on Family Camping Tents by Keith Quain

Tents have come a long way since I first started camping. Remember the heavy, stinky canvas tents with the wooden poles. Weighed a ton and took forever to set up and take down. Now we have tents that set themselves up, are super lightweight, come with multiple rooms and are waterproof. Camping should be more fun for children now days. Get them out there.

I prefer a tent with high sides so it feels more like a “room”. We tend to not bother putting up the bedrooms so we just have a really big space- we put the beds out at night and then put them away in the morning giving us more room.

My wife and I purchased a 4 man tent and when we inflated our queen size aero bed it filled up the whole tent leaving no room for anything else. We now have a two room 8 to 10 man tent. Much,much better.

I used to LOVE camping with my friends as a kid because it always meant we got to go in the pop up tent trailer. It seemed so much fancier than our tents back then. Not to mention once home it was always an option to “Camp” in the driveway.

Yes, organization and cooperation is important. During any family camping trip, the adults need to help each other out, not bicker and fight about whose fault it was that the tent poles were forgot, (personal camping experience of mine).

I like to be comfortable now so I would opt for an elevated airbed in my tent with enough room for my stuff these days.

Comment on A Cast Iron Skillet Should Not Be Your Only Camping Skillet by Dave Hennesey

Gus,

I am going to have to dissagree with you. A cast Iron skillet is the only skillet you need for the traditional park and camp. The issue people have with them is they are not used to how easy they are to cook on so like the 99% of people I have seen ruin eggs over easy on a cast iron skillet is the heat. Cast iron is the most efficient with heat than any other metal so you need it at about half what you use for traditional skillets and the eveness of the heat makes eggs over easy in a cast iron skillet simple. I will agree with you that it takes practice but, the key to practice is the amount of heat.

Many family sized tents now come with sewn in groundsheets which stops draughts coming in and also keeps bugs at bay! However be sure to keep the tent well ventilated otherwise condensation may develop inside which can allow mould to grow if not dried out properly when you get back.

Comment on Garmin Rino Radio – More Than Just Another GPS by Best Handheld GPS

That is a great list you got there, i have been doing some reviews on gps my self, and I can tell that a GPS from Garmin is always reliable. The Rino series has a lot of features and it’s packed with 500 waypoints and 50 routes, a hunt/fish calendar, hands-free voice activation and much more. You have made a really good recommendation, especially for those who love hunting.

As others have said, I think one of the most important things is getting a tent with plenty of head room. You sometimes end up compromising on stability with a higher tent, but the extra comfort of being able to stand up with ease in your tent shouldn’t be underestimated.
