Its The Time Of The Season For Outdoor Camping So Prepare Yourself

February 12th, 2012 by Guest | No Comments | Filed in Outdoor Camping

It might not always be the time of the season for loving, but it can always be the time of the season for camping. When you buy only durable 4 season tents, you ensure that the weather will always be just right for camping. Many people are so scared of freezing to death that they only ever go camping during the warm months of the year. Sadly, there are many reasons why one wouldn’t want to go camping during warm times of the year.

To begin with, bugs abound during warm weather days. While you might not get frost bite in the summer, you might get Lyme disease, West Nile, or Malaria. In addition to this, you have to worry about poisonous plants. Trust me, you can’t enjoy your vacation when your body is riddled with the effects of Poison Ivy or Poison Oak, and don’t even get me started on allergies. On top of all this, you also have to worry about dangerous animals. In the winter, bears will crawl into a hole or a cave and go to sleep. You can walk through an entire forest in the winter months without ever coming across a bear. Conversely, bears are out in great force during the warmer periods of the year. A bear with newborns in tow can be very dangerous to even the toughest campers on the planet.

Winter camping is a different experience all together. Plants and bugs are not a part of the winter camping experience. The only plants still living in the winter are dormant or are waiting for you to cut them down for Christmas. You’ll also notice that bugs just aren’t around when its cold out. I’ve never had to do a tick check after playing in the snow, and you probably haven’t had to either.

I will admit that the cold weather season does have its shortcomings. For starters, you have to worry about freezing to death. Of course, you can easily ensure that you don’t freeze to death during your adventure. Take a look at the winter weather sleeping bags, the 4 season tents, and the gloves and mittens at your local camping store and you’ll have everything you need.

You’ll also need to eat more during a winter camping trip. People burn many more calories when they are trying to stay warm versus trying to cool down. This being said, most of us eat too much anyway, so the extra calories burned will be a welcome addition to the trip.

Locating clean drinking water can also be tough during the winter months. We all know that water is essential to all life on earth. While you might not think so, water is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. Taking care of this issue just requires some extra thought. It should be obvious that getting water from a frozen river will be difficult, if not impossible.

In order to get clean drinking water on your winter camping trip, you might want to consider taking an ice pick on your trip or a pot to boil snow in. If you break through the ice with an ice pick, you’re bound to get to the sweet tasting water directly beneath it.

Its The Time Of The Time Of Year For Outdoor Camping So Prepare Yourself

Although its most certainly not always the time of the season for loving, you can rest assured that it is always the time of the season for camping. When you buy only durable 4 season tents, you ensure that the weather will always be just right for camping. Many people are so scared of freezing to death that they only ever go camping during the warm months of the year. However, there are drawbacks to only camping out in the summer weather.

To begin with, bugs abound during warm weather days. Even though frost bite is not a concern in a Pennsylvania June, West Nile virus and Lyme disease certainly are. Additionally, poisonous plants are all over the place in June. Poison Oak and Poison Ivy love to wreak havoc on vacations. Dangerous animals are also a concern during winter. Bears love to hibernate in the winter. Most bears won’t even bother waking up to check on humans when they are busy hibernating in the winter. However, these same bears are out foraging for food all spring, fall, and summer. Cross a bear that has kids and you’ll wish you never went camping at all.

Winter camping is a different experience all together. Plants and bugs are not a part of the winter camping experience. Humans tend to make Christmas trees out of the only non-dormant plant of the winter season. Bugs are also non-existent in the snowy months of winter. Have you ever had to do a tick check after a nice wintertime sledding event?

Of course the cold months do have their drawbacks as well. For starters, you have to worry about freezing to death. However, this can easily be accommodated for. Take a look at the winter weather sleeping bags, the 4 season tents, and the gloves and mittens at your local camping store and you’ll have everything you need.

Most folks will have to consume more food when winter camping. People burn many more calories when they are trying to stay warm versus trying to cool down. Nevertheless, burning some extra calories will only benefit most of the people reading this.

Locating clean drinking water can also be tough during the winter months. We all know that water is essential to all life on earth. Even in the winter, we need to drink lots of water to stay healthy. Getting clean drinking water in the winter while camping only takes a few preparations. It should be obvious that getting water from a frozen river will be difficult, if not impossible.

In order to get clean drinking water on your winter camping trip, you might want to consider taking an ice pick on your trip or a pot to boil snow in. If you break through the ice with an ice pick, you’re bound to get to the sweet tasting water directly beneath it.

Reasons Why The Ten Person Tent Is Great For You

August 21st, 2011 by Guest | No Comments | Filed in Outdoor Camping

Owning a tent that can cover many situations is essential. That’s why I suggest investing in a 10 person tent. If your like me and spend a lot of time outdoors with your friends and family this large tent will become an asset to you. Before deciding on which tent to choose there are a few things you should know.

The 10 person tent has become a very popular choice for those with a large family. This size of a tent allows campers to share the same tent with friends and family. Even if you plan on having 2-8 people on your trip this tent will give you that extra space and comfort you desire. Most of my camping trips only involve 2-4 people and I always bring my 10 man tent. I enjoy the extra space and privacy this kind of tent provides. This type of tent can be used for many different sleeping situations.

When looking for the right 10 person tent you will need to find one with a decent weather rating that suits your needs. As we all know the weather is constantly changing and the forecast isn’t always right. A storm could come and ruin your sunny day you had planned. So be ready for any type of weather condition that could appear in the locations you travel. At least find a tent with a weather rating that can withstand heavy rain and winds. Ventilation will also be a factor to keep in mind depending on the season and the location you will be visiting. Its always good to have air circulating in and out especially if you will be running a space heater.

Having a large tent will allow you to decide on many privacy options. It’s easy to add wall dividers and most large tents come with built in rooms. The extra privacy is nice when you have different age groups camping together. These walls don’t do to well with blocking noise but its nice to have different sleeping areas and spare rooms to store your gear.

Having a large tent will give you a advantage over many other tents and that’s why the 10 person tent is a great candidate for this. If your looking for comfort and options this type of tent should be your pick.

Things To Consider Just before Choosing A Six Person Camping Tent

July 15th, 2011 by Guest | No Comments | Filed in Outdoor Camping

When looking for a tent you will see that there are many options to choose from. It can be very overwhelming. I have come up with some key things to keep in mind to help you make the right choice. After reading these tips you should be able to make a decision with no problem.

The first thing to consider is the size of your tent. How many people do you think will be using this tent? The 6 person tent is designed to sleep 6 people. This usually holds true but depending on the age and size of your campers this could change. A rule of thumb I personally use is to think about how many people you have then add room for 1 to 2 more people. If you have 3-4 campers then you will probably want to go with the 6 person tent. Using that method you shouldn’t have a problem with space when sleeping. Another plus in having this extra space is you will be able to store your camping essentials without it being in your way.

Privacy should be another choice when choosing your tent. A 6 person tent usually comes with the option of either having 1 room or multiple rooms. If there are children, teenagers, and adults in the same tent you might want to consider leaning towards multiple rooms. A plus in having multiple rooms is you could put your camping gear in a separate room allowing for extra space where its needed. In most cases you will want the extra privacy but if you want to keep a eye on your kids then you will want the one room tent. All jokes aside it will just depend on your situation on how you will figure out if you need extra privacy or not.

The last thing to consider is the tents weather rating. Come up with the places where you will travel and what kind of weather you might expect. Make sure to get a tent that can handle heavy rain, windy conditions, and whatever weather you think could come your way. If you plan on camping in the hot weather you should also keep ventilation in mind. If you go camping spring to fall then a 3 season tent is a good option to go with.

The 6 person tent can come with many options but following these simple tips you should have your tent picked out in no time. When it comes down to it the most important part of camping is your tent so you will want one that best suits your needs.

A Couple Of Things To Contemplate Prior to Buying Large Camping Tents

July 13th, 2011 by Guest | No Comments | Filed in Outdoor Camping

First, how many people do you plan on being in the tent? Large tents can hold many people. Having about 30-35 square feet of floor space per camper is a good rule to use. Height should not be a issue. Most larger tents will reach at least 6 feet.

The next option to consider is if you want privacy. Tents are pretty thin but having a divider or two can really make things feel more private. Large tents come with many options and some even have rooms built in already. You could have different rooms for your family. You could have a room just for the parents and another room for the kids. Having a room just for your camping gear can make your sleeping and hangout areas more roomy. The options are really endless.

The good thing about large tents is that when the weather isn’t ideal you can hide out and still be comfortable. Camping is a event that can take place any time of the year so having the right kind of tent is important. Get a tent that has a good weather rating so it can take weather conditions you come across. As you know the weatherman isn’t always correct and you could be caught in a down poor when you thought it was going to be a clear and sunny day. You will want a tent that can tolerate heavy wind and rain. If you plan on being in very hot conditions you want to keep ventilation in mind also.

Knowing what options to choose when looking at large tents will greatly raise the experience of your upcoming camping trips. Camping is a great time for people to bond so make sure you take the time in picking the right tent.
