    We came, we saw...we

    @CherylTorrie - I think we probably could. This one is 12 feet across and 20 feet long. Very definitely a base camp tent. Used only for sleeping quarters - no cooking etc. We set up a kitchen shelter for eating. I don't use it all that often but it's mighty welcomed when a group meets...

    Winter Camping - Which heat source?

    I do have a buddy heater for early spring late fall. But the most reliable for me is a wood burning stove - I have two four season tents that accommodate a jack. We have an instructional overnight camp the second week in January and then a weekender middle of February.

    Cooking over the Campfire

    When I instruct the newbies to boil water - surprisingly they don't know how to do that. You see - the first step that they need to have down pat is - boiling water must be at a rolling boil and not a few moments that permits a puff of steam to gently meet the cooler air. I want them to know...

    Cooking over the Campfire

    Love the suggestions @CherylTorrie. When I'm instructing the arts of camp cooking I'm always amazed at the resistance I get when I insist using a cooking fire and not a camp fire. For this reason I often send out an equipment sheet - one item to bring is one large can, i.e: tomato juice tin. I...

    For tent enthusiasts...

    I tell ya...they are tempting.

    For tent enthusiasts...

    I think we are kindred spirits. I deliberately leave my credit card at home and limit my cash when I enter any camping store or supply place. I know that they sell these kind of tents in the States but there are not in my neck of the woods yet. Would I buy one? Probably - just to keep my...

    DEATH OF A TENT...

    @ CherylTorrie - it's dead, like this was first time I saw what eating bacteria could do to fabric. Though, when I read your note I thought I could use it for a sun shelter. :( To pick up where you are - I use a foot (tent fly) for ground cover and I use rugs of various kinds including a cow...

    I can appreciate that we don't have a lot of members but I noticed that we have an "affiliates" post at the end of our list. Other than that, I would like to have it - I did at one point and lost it.

    That's good sign - competition could be fierce in the market. You might want to list your site page again - I would like to keep that on the radar.

    @Joseph Hadnett - Looks mighty fine - like the size of a train car. I like big tents. Can you show a bit more? Nice to see you back on line - hope you had a fabulous summer. This is the largest one that I own - four season with stove jack.

    Do you take your camera along camping?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ :) Hope we get a chance to see some of pictures. Niagara Falls..yep I know that place - about a leisurely one and half hours from my neck of the woods.

    Greetings from Western Pennsylvania

    Yes I'm a tent camper too. I could never take an RV canoe camping anyway - and I've never had the desire. :)

    You never know...I do a lot of camping and I'm often surprised at who I meet. I boast of having 9 tents (all of which I can set up by myself) I know...I know...I don't have much of a social life. BUT...my camping life is GREAT.

    Greetings from Western Pennsylvania

    Again... I am a four season camper - and winter is one of those seasons. I can't believe that someone else has confessed to be the same. :)

    Hi and welcome. I have one of those tents - last week I sealed the back door, sealed part of the front door and added Velcro the other side. Works great now.
