    First Look at Upcoming 2017 Camping Gear

    I understand this sentiment. I work in tech and one trend I have noticed is to remake every product you can think of as a "smart" version. For some things there is simply no benefit of attaching a microcontroller and sensor that connects to your smartphone. Most of the really dumb ones have to...

    Thanks for the feedback, so for your laptop you're using the site through a browser? Because I know Tapatalk now has apps for Windows and Mac OS X. I do like how Tapatalk aggregates content together for easy reading.

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    For large trips with big groups it might come in handy. I would also agree that for certain things the campfire isn't great, if I'm cooking eggs or steak I prefer to use a portable grill/stove. I would suggest packing according to what recipes you plan on cooking while you are on the trip. For...

    Sort forum categories alphabetically?

    I was wondering if any members had thoughts on reordering the forum category list to be in alphabetical order. They had sort of grown organically to the state they are in now and now that we have quite a few categories, I thought this might improve the ability of people to quickly find what they...

    Best Instant Tent?

    I used to think the same way, then I saw a friends instant-tent in action and it changed my mind. I think they have been steadily improving, the one I saw was very sturdy and the poles were flexible sort of bent to the curve of the canvas. It ended up being very tight and sturdy, I was in...

    Big Savings on Camping Gear

    Interesting I will have to give that a try, did you end up purchasing the fishing rod? $16 for a rod seems really good even if it is not actually $300 to begin with. Are there any sites you can suggest and other ones you would suggest avoiding?

    Hello from Virginia!

    Yeah if you have young ones, a camp site with bathrooms and people around in case you need help are definitely nice to have. Nevertheless it is a good intro to camping if you want to graduate to going for hikes and canoe trips as they get older.

    Dealing with Mosquitos

    You should consider investing in one of the electric ones, they work much MUCH better than the regular fly swatters I have found. You don't need to wait for them to land, which is important

    How would you avoid theft while being around a populated campsite?

    Well, if you have a car parked nearby you could always lock valuables in there. I have not had any problems with theft at camp sites in the past however I would still recommend trying to avoid bringing valuables in the first place. Jewellery, watches, lots of cash, aren't too useful on a camp...
