Quick Tent Tips

Posted 08-13-2008 at 12:35 PM by merrystrong

If you do your camping in a tent, as opposed to an RV, follow these quick tips to make your vacation as enjoyable as possible.

If you will be camping in a brand new tent, set it up at home BEFORE you leave on your trip. This way, you will be privy to any defects or missing pieces in advance. You will also be able to tell if the tent will be too large or too small, for your needs.

Camping Mattresses

Posted 08-06-2008 at 11:57 PM by merrystrong

Some people that camp truly like to rough it. Me? I’ve never been too crazy about lying on the cold, hard, ground… even in my younger days. If you are anything like me, an affordable solution is a camping mattress.

They come in all sizes and price ranges. You can find them at almost any store that carries camping supplies. You really don’t have to spend a million bucks to be comfortable.
