cheap large camping tents for sale image
Winobot Du
I have decided to put together a bug out bag for a SHTF situation, and figured it would be a good idea to see what other people have so i dont forget something that would be useful. I have two US surplus day packs i will probably fill up. What do you have in yours and what is the bag?
Answer
I use many duffel bags that i got for free, and one wooden ammo case that I refinished. I also have a few unmarked cardboard boxes.
my BOB is something I stick into the minivan and get out of town asap. I have no plans to hike out of town, I live in the middle of a large city.

Tent camping with air conditioning?
Luo
i love to camp, but hate sleeping in the heat which limits me to camp during the cooler months (not june,july,aug,sept). does anyone camp with a portable air conditioner? If so what brand/model/price? I'm looking for one that is pretty less than 70lbs and is pretty quiet.
Answer
We also camp with an AC. I use a portable AC and I found it on sale for about $350. The window units are the cheaper way to go for sure. I don't use my portable for just camping so that is why I spent the extra $$.
Just FYI: The portable units go inside the tent with you so it does take up space. Just zip the tent door up around the vent hose (mine is about 5 inch in diameter) and there are no gaps. Most of your portables have a holding tank that collects the condensation and when those 'little' tanks are full, the unit will shut off. I had to do a little inventing so the water would drain into a larger container so I didn't have to empty the tank in the middle of the night.
Window units can be tricky if you only have one door to your tent. Each time in & out you have to step over/around the unit and your tent door won't zip very snug to the unit. Bring an extra sheet or something to fill in the gaps or look into the AC Boot mentioned earlier. It looks like it would be great!
