I need to buy a compact, lightweight tent for a cycling holiday in France. Can anyone recommend something relatively cheap (under £75) and a decent sleeping bag? Thanks

Answer
I highly recommend this ...
Coleman 2008 SunDome 7-Foot by 7-Foot 3-Person Dome Tent

This past weekend was my first experience with this tent - a simply awesome performer for under [...] bucks. I sealed the seams on the rainfly the day before and upgraded the tent stakes all for an additional $[...]. Set-up was a breeze and took under 10 minutes (I placed a tarp down below). Good thing, because the rain came 5 minutes later in buckets and lasted all night. The tent held up like a champ with no leakage what so ever. The size was just perfect for two adults and a few gear bags (or a kid). Highly recommended!

This a nice and comfortable sleeping bag. The zipper works nicely and it is a very nice and roomy sleeping bag. It rolls up nice and fairly compact compared to my old one. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone interested in buying a sleeping bag.

Awesome things to bring on a 12 year old boy scout camp out?

My friends and I are bringing Nintendo Ds's to the camp out to play multiplayer Mario kart against each other in our tents...


Any other ideas?

Answer
Hmmm..

Any game systems would seem to be an *extraordinarily* bad idea.
(They are confiscated if found in our troop...)

Nothing that takes batteries or power-cords.

We encourage our boys to bring along:

Chess. (since they can beat most of the adults - and what could be more fun than a 12 yr old boy beating a grown man at one of these games?)

Cards. Cribbage, Hearts, Spades get played the most.

Checkers. (But not one boy has ever yet brought a checkers board...)

Battleship (our boys created a strange 4-player version - never did get the rules)

Jenga - bad idea - just...trust me... Jenga and campfires... bad idea

Frisbees

water balloons - ('50 yards from any adults ' rule is enforced)

water pistols - (10 yards from any adults...)

Three years ago they brought a D&D game, with dice etc - not a great idea

Zombie tag game has gone over well...

Mancala has been popular a couple years

We originally allowed collectable card games... that had to stop...
