how to go on a graduation road trip for cheap?




batman264


i'm planning a road trip for my senior trip. it will be with 4 -6 total in the group. i want to last about 2-3 weeks. not sure how to pull it off for cheap. i live in Louisiana and am planning on driving through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi then returning home. not sure exactly what to see and do and we're planning on staying in tent at national camp sites if possible. any suggestions and help would be much appreciated


Answer
Planning on a 2-3 week road trip and covering 11 states seems to be a bit overwhelming. I'd try to narrow the trip down and either head toward Texas, New Mexico and Colorado or head east toward Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. For me, I'd even narrow it down and just make the trip to Colorado. There is a lot to see in that state. Even with living in campgrounds, you'll be too tired driving or even see the sites and you gas bill would be out of sight, Pick just a few states and relax. Narrow down the list of states, check with your friends and find out what they would like to see. Look on he Internet and also in state guides for information of historic sites, parks, etc. Your trip will probably be in Summer, so traveling in the Texas area might be pretty hot.

To save money on your trip, a camp site is a good idea. Also, so not forget to carry perishable foods in an ice chest and cook most of your own meals. Eating out can obviously be expensive. Some national park camp sites might be crowded especially during the summer months. When you decide what states you will visit, make reservations or bring a campsite directory for the state you will be visiting. You can often fine books like this in any large bookstore. It goes without saying that give your car a good checkup-maintenance, carry spare water and oil and check the inflation on your tires. Also bring a camera or two. Have fun.

Where can I 'properly' camp in the blue mountains, NSW?

tents for camping qld on Coolum Beach Holiday Park Coolum Beach Sunshine Coast Queensland
tents for camping qld image



Skinnydude


I mean properly as in sleeping in a tent, not an unadventurous lodge or hotel, that feels properly far away from civilisation, but close enough if we needed help.

Me and my best mate and his cousin are thinking about taking a good old aussie road trip from south east qld to windsor, sydney (to see best mate's big bro) than head out to the mountains for some camping and hiking. Anyone have any idea of pricing? We're thinking about a week or two.
Oh yeah, it'll be during the NSW shool term, so holiday rip-off pricing shouldn't be an issue.

I'm a uni student so any tips for saving money would be greatly appreciated too!



Answer
There are numerous excellent spots to camp along the short bushwalks around Katoomba.

Also around the Blackheath site.

wild camping in Australia?




Dimi


Me and my friends want to do a holiday together next summer holidays, and were thinking of going camping in australia. Not the crappy camping in campsites with takeout food, but proper 'massive bagpacks and tents, hiking and sleeping in the wild' kind of camping. i know in the summer it would be winter there so how cold would it get? also is campig and hiking in the wild actualy allowed or is it dangerous and not recommended. Also if anyone esle has any good alternate places to go hiking/camping that are good, please do tell me. Thanks :)


Answer
Camping in the wild is perfectly OK in Australia, but there are a few things you should know first.

Number one, some areas (such as national parks) require you to apply for a permit to camp there. See this website for more information, it also lists some other regulations (such as those relating to camp fires and wood gathering).

http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks_and_forests/activities_in_parks_and_forests/camping/index.html

Second, many area's around Australia are very dry and so fires are banned. Check whether a fire ban is in force in the area if your planning to be using open fires for cooking. You' also have to bring your own wood since collecting it in the bush is prohibited.

In regards to the cold, it varies depending on how far south and how far west you go. See this page and compare it to a map for a breakdown of the temperatures state by state.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Australia

As for dangers, there are a few dangerous animals , mostly poisonous reptiles. You can avoid these by wearing thick leather shoes which they cant bite through if you should happen to stand on one. As long as you do that, keep and eye out and dont stick your hand were you cant see, you should be right.

Another main danger is crocodiles around waterways.Dont swim in water you cant see into and take extra care when collecting water. Since we dont have any large mammalian predators (such as bears or large wild cats) you dont have to worry about them, though packs of dingo's (wild dogs) have been known to raid campsites. Over all though, the biggest killers are wildfires, storms and intense heat.

How to have a romantic experience camping?

best tent for camping with baby image
Q. The girl I am dating I are going to go camping the second weekend of May, and I was wondering what I can do to make it romantic. We are going to a National Park to go camping. I was planning on making a fire and smores. What do I need to take and any games or ideas? We are up for anything sensual.
We are using a tent


Answer
Try camping at a lake or near the seashore. The sound of the waves is way cool (Better than iPod), and it's easy to keep the fire stoked with driftwood (watch out for wet wood though).

Have a couple of rectangular sleeping bags that can be hooked together instead of the warmer mummy bags.

Baby Wipes. No matter how hard you try, you will get funky and grimy. Nothing will make her feel less attactive and romantic than a gritty body.

Get about six citronella candles to surround your campsite (Don't put them in the tent). Bug spray smells bad and tastes worse.

Take along a couple extra, clean flannel blankies to wrap up in while watching the fire and listening to the waves....

What should I know before setting up a 7 person camping tent?




mshabak0


Do I need to bring any tools to set it up? And is it hard setting up a tent that is 14" X 12"? If you have any helpful hints that would help me out I would greatly appreciate it.


Answer
I'm guessing its a wall tent...You'll need a small axe or baby sledge to drive the stakes with. set the corner poles first tie one line at an angle then the other and stake them, ..once all four corners are up , place ridge pole down center and then the end poles, now you can set just one line on each corner instead of the two you already have. once you start to put this up you'll see what I mean!..one guy can do this , although it's better with two!...Always try and figure a way to do every thing your self ....you might have to some time!...LUCK!!!!

Good places for holidays for 16 year olds in the UK?

cheap tents for camping uk on ... - tent camper toy hauler | Low Prices Amazon Discount Product
cheap tents for camping uk image



jake m


Some of my friends (mixed gender) and I are planning to go away by ourselves in the summer after we have finished our GCSE's. Does anybody know of any good places where we might go, especially if it is cheap, us being 16 year olds after all. What I'm specifically looking for really are people who have done this sort of thing when they were this sort of age and had a good time - where did you go, what did you do, etc? Both my friends and myself live in the south west, so nearby but not too nearby would be ideal.


Answer
Unfortunately, a lot of places won't rent to a group of 16 year olds for a number of reasons... You're not 18 so if anything were to happen to you it would be their legal responsibility, which they are not willing to take. You're all 16 and looking to have a good time..Meaning trashed rooms/areas to some people, underage drinking, being loud etc.

Some camp sites may let you set up a tent, but I highly doubt you'll be able to rent a caravan. You'll be able to rent a room in a hotel/hostel. Hostels are cheaper, but then doors close in hostel's at around 11.

After GCSE's, my friends and I went to the east coast (we live in the midlands) and camped right next to the beach. It was hard to find a campsite that let a group of 16 year olds stay, and we almost got kicked out actually because we were too loud ;) But we still had a good time, and actually some people our age were camping next to us came from the same area as us so we got chatting etc.

Really, at any seaside area should be a number of campsites/hostels/hotels. Just choose a certain area with things to do - like nice beaches, shops, arcades or whatever - and then do a little research about accommodation in that area. Make sure it's safe too.. The place we stayed at was actually an area where one of my friends visited often so they knew the area well.

When going remember to have a good time ;) But stay safe and be responsible too.

I have to go camping this weekend and i need a cheap but cute jacket to keep me warm/dry - any ideas? And any camping survival tips for a girl used to hotels!! Thanks xx
Good Guess Lauren I am a size 8!



Answer
If you live in the UK like me then go to millets ! Seriously i got the cutest mack/waterproof jacket in there.. it was pink and had little white hearts on it ! If not then try big department stalls or your nearest camping/surivial shop.
I know exactly what you mean.. i hate camping too but as long as the weathers not wet and miserable it really isnt that bad ! A few tips i would give to you is make sure in the morning that the roof/top of the tent is not anywhere near your body and that you dont touch it, as no matter if its sunny and dry or pouring down with rain, it is COVERED in dew in the morning.. i always make the mistake of quickly sitting up and brushing my back against the top of the tent which gets me SOAKED.. yuck :l
Good luck, hope ive helped and have fun :) x

We are looking for a place where we can drive to a campsite, then pitch our tent. So many campsites either require you to backpack in your stuff, or they are just for you to park your RV.

Any ideas... our tent is fairly large.



Answer
I've camped on the Blue Ridge parkway, at the Smokies, at Mount Mitchell State Park, NC (you can camp at the top at the state park or there are private campgrounds below it), New River State Park, NC (there are drive in and canoe in sites), Stone Mountain State Park, NC, and I've wanted to camp at South Mountain State Park, NC.

In Hot Springs, NC the private campground is on the French Broad River, on the Appalachian Trail, has a great little town, and has hot tubs!

I've camped in NC in Nantahala National Forest , Linville Gorge, Roan Mountain, TN area, and wanted to camp in Mt Rogers, Joyce Kilmer and Shining Rock areas, but haven't gotten to it yet.

I have looked around the web a bit and I can't seem to find much. We live around Kansas City and don't want to travel more than an hour or two, but we would love for the whole family to be able to camp, including our dog. A lot of the campsites are pet friendly but what do you do with your dog when the family goes swimming in the lake or river?


Answer
You might try this:
www.basswoodresort.com
www.mostateparks.com/twainpark
www.campdownunder.com

Looks like a good alternative to tent sleeping and this way you could keep you and your dog in a safer place than a tent (weather and otherwise!)

Crate your dog while you swim - provide plenty of water and shade if outside and his/her favorite toy or chewie. Keep the crate within sight or if you have an RV or a cabin keep the door locked. Or have one family member play with the dog, etc. and take turns swimming.
Here is a link on how to camp/swim with a dog.
Hope you find what you are looking for!

Have you ever stayed in the campgrounds or a cabin in a state park? What's your favorite state park in your state? What kind of activities do you enjoy when you camp in a state park?


Answer
Roaring River State Park in Missouri is a wonderful park. Hiking, camping, horseback riding, trout fishing, and swimming are just a few of the things that are offered. It is a beautiful setting in a valley. We go there every year. We also tried Bennett Springs State Park, but we didn't care for it nearly as much. We tent camp and cook our meals out over the fire pit. The food is great, and we usually make s'mores in the evening. We have stayed in the cabins, but we really like to rough it in the tent.

Do you have any tips for a beginner winter camper?

Simba


I would like to try winter camping. I have been summer camping quite a bit but mostly just at campgrounds. There is a campground about an hour away that has year round camping so I was thinking about trying it for a weekend. What tips to you have for a beginner winter camper, who has intermediate summer camping experience? What gear would I need? This is what I was thinking.
4 Season tent
Winter sleeping bag
Snow shoes
Warm winter clothes
What am I missing? Any additional tips?



Answer
tons of info on the web, here is the most intensive one I have found and refer to the most.
http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/winter/wintcamp.shtml

As for your list of gear some of that partly depends on where you are. Winter camping in the desert you won't need snow shoes but all the rest of those items yes you will. For a beginner I recommend starting out by renting a cabin in a wilderness area that way you have options to retreat too should plans go awry.
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sequoia/recreation/rec_rentals.html

Tents are the main place to retreat to and a four season is the best to use, size is also very important. if you have 2 go with a 3-4 man, 4 go with a 6 man and so on. You need to have room for the gear to stash out of the weather. Include a tarp to use for rain shelter and wind breaks, not all winter camping has snowy weather. Coleman makes one of the best winter tents on the market, Exponent Northstar X6 Tent
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00697792000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4&isABTestAvl=true

Clothing is critical and dress in layers, avoid cotton here is a great article telling you how and what to look for,
http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/dress+layers.html

As for winter sleeping bags, definitely go with a well known product rated for zero degrees or colder. Down filled bags ounce for ounce keep you the warmest however and this is very important when they get wet they become useless hypothermia freezers. I consider the weight factor and survival factor and choose the synthetic over down every time. Here is my choice,

Always use a check list so you don't forget gear and here is a good one,

Shoshanna


Taking a family camping trip with a tent to Salida CO. We would like to do some fishing, hiking and possibly some horseback riding.


Answer
Hecla Junction is a great area to camp near Salida. It is off the main roads and set up against the Arkansas River. The fishing there is great and so is the scenery. It is managed by Colorado State Parks, so there is a fee to stay. The tent pads are large and level. There are also pit toilets which are nice when camping with kids and ladies. If your looking for a whitewater rafting adventure check out the Bighorn Sheep Canyon section of river just downstream of Salida by an hour. It is much more exciting and far less crowded than Browns. It is also great for kids! Have Fun!

best tent camping germany image



Theo S


like attached to a bell so it wakes me up or something, i have no fishing experience but im doing a big cycle tour of europe and as i'd be spending almost all day cycing, im wondering weather to get a telescopic rod and set it up outside my tent when camping on the coast or would the fishies be sleeping at night, i genuinly have no clue lol someone fill me in. ta.


Answer
Wooooooowwww.....grand adventure. I love cycling in Europe but I've been lucky.
I was in Germany for a few years and from UK we get cheap flights and ferries so I've done quite a lot of Europe on a bike either camping on sites or wild camping ( not allowed in some countires, eg Slovenia and southern Germany because of the danger from bears and wolves) or staying in backpacker hostels.
Mixing both gets you a hot shower and a chance to catch up with the laundry, some good company, and relative luxury for a day or two before the next wilderness leg of the trip.
Some tips on mine here..booking hostels,campsites,etc.
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100210102633AAe5mQM . . .

The telescopic rod is a good idea. Mine is a few years old and before that I used one for eleven years that cost peanuts from a market stall in Singaore and it kept me in food from lakes and rivers and the sea just as well as an expensive rod would.
My current one is made by Shakespeare but other firms like Daiwa do good telescopics that will last a long time.
Leaving a rod unattended though isn't a good idea at all.
For that kind of fishing use a hand line. Or do as we do at home and I've also done on beach camps when the tide is right.
When there is a low tide in the evening so the high tide is overnight, peg out some short lengths of line with baited hooks way out on the sands or rocks. Use long pegs sunk deep into the sand using a rock as a mallet. Tie them to rocks if you can't peg them.
You can do it in daylight if nobody is going to get caught and injured walking around hooks and lines ....be careful with them if there are people around.
You'll need to wait for the tide to get low again to get to the hooks but overnight you're hanging around there to sleep anyway so waiting hours for the tide isn't a problem.
Strong braided line is best, which you can cut from a hand line wound onto a plastic or wooden frame bought cheaply in any seaside town.
http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.129472531.jpg . . . ..
Use 1/0 or similar hooks...ask in a fishing shop for that size or just look at the packets. It's always in big letters what size the hooks are.

Bait can be bits of fish or meat or some limpets cut from the rocks or worms dug from the sand. Limpets are good. They're tough and they stay on a hook while the sea is bashing it. Two or three on a 1/0 hook will encouage bigger fish to get interested instead of little ones.
Come back when the tide is out again and retrieve any fish you may have caught. A dozen hooks will pretty well guarantee a fish for breakfast and you might get a few.
Here's a simple way to cook limpets so if you don't get any fish you can still eat from the sea.

What's the cheapest way to get ferry's and coaches around europe?




amazondebs


I'm a student and me and some of my friends are going to go round europe for a few weeks, camping in various places, whats the cheapest way to do this and I mean really cheap. We're literally just taking a tent and some clothing with us.


Answer
Early booking for the coach companies, Eurolines is most often mentioned: http://www.eurolines.com/
In the UK you can also use Megabus, can only be booked online:
http://uk.megabus.com/default.aspx
Other countries may also have cheap coach companies, but not in all countries the bus is the best option. I think you should try google for more companies.
Within France, the Netherlands and Belgium you will not find many or even any cheap coach options, but between these countries and from them to the rest of Europe you will find cheap bus/coach travel.

In some countries the train can be almost as cheap and have more options. In Germany there are special tickets for people traveling together on the slow trains, very cheap but not fast. More flexible than the bus though:
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?newrequest=yes&protocol=http:&

A good site for train info is: http://www.seat61.com/

'Remember that farther east is mostly cheaper, as soon as you are beyond Germany, Switzerland and Austria and Italy.
Countryside and small towns are cheaper than capital cities, certainly when camping.
If you are from the UK you might be able to get a cheap flight to Eastern Europe for less than you would pay on the ferry to the continent.
http://www.skyscanner.net/ or a site like it.

If this is not cheap enough yet, you can try organized hitchhiking, this is a German site, there are more, Google can help you out: http://www.mitfahrzentrale.de/index.php?landnr=D&lang=GB
And in case you hit the bad weather jackpot, couch surfing:
http://www.couchsurfing.org/ or http://www.hospitalityclub.org/ and again there are more sites to be found.

I want a funky, floral or just different tent for festival camping but i cant find anywhere in australia everything i find is in the uk... anyone know anywhere or any sites


Answer
I think the stock standard festival tent is green with a silver fly! I don't think i've seen anything that looks any different. Make the festival that much more fun when you've had a few and you climb into someone else's tent because it looks the same as everyone else's.

Good luck!

What do we do if wildlife attacks us on our trip to yellowstone?

tents for camping black wolf on BlackWolf Wasp II Adventure 2 Person Camping Tent - Angle View
tents for camping black wolf image



happy_bana


I'm really really really scared for some reason of bears and wolves.. do they attack people? and what do you do if wildlife does attack you? finally what are some things you should take to yellowstone to prevent these things? please answer asap as i am going with my family tomorrow!!


Answer
There's no reason to worry about wolves. They'll leave you alone.

Bears will probably leave you alone. You can buy bear spray at many outdoor goods stores. It's basically really strong pepper spray and it's a good precautionary thing to have if you're hiking in the backcountry or camping.

To improve your chances of not having any trouble, don't approach them EVER, even if it's just a baby. Mom is hanging around somewhere nearby and mother bears are notoriously protective. NEVER feed a bear and follow safety precautions with packing food when hiking or camping. Don't keep any food in your tent or car. (If you must keep it in the car, keep it in the trunk - bears will sometimes break in windows to get food.) Use the bear lockers instead. Store toiletries and similar items in the same way, and dispose properly of used diapers, feminine products, food wrappers, and other odorous trash.

While hiking, keep up a conversation so you're less likely to surprise a bear. Surprised bears, especially mothers with cubs, are more likely to be dangerous bears. Also, hike in groups. Supposedly a group of more than five people has never been attacked by bears, but I don't know if kids count towards the quota or not.

If you do meet one, what you should do depends on whether it's a black bear or grizzly. Learn how to identify which is which: http://www.mountainnature.com/Wildlife/Bears/BearID.htm

With a grizzly you usually want to play dead, preferably lying on your stomach and protecting your head and neck with your arms. Black bears are more likely to make a predatory attack (as opposed to a surprised, defensive one) but are also more easily scared off, so fight back as hard as you can. Try not to let the bear get any food you might be carrying, because that might encourage it to attack others in the hopes of getting the yummy reward. "A fed bear is a dead bear."

How do hunters protect themselves from man eaters while sleeping in the woods?

Q. You don't know that they are coming when you are sleeping.


Answer
I have slept in the Rockies in Grizzly / mountain lion country and here in Alaska with brown bears, black bears and wolves about. There are a number of things you can do.
The number 1 thing is no food in your camp or the smell of food on you. Cook about 40 yards or more from your camp. Keep all food in a container up in a tree held by rope to a tree near it. If you get the smell of food on you wash up and change clothes this includes the smell of fish.
Do not use shampoo that smells like food such as strawberry.

Location of your tent or camp is important. Never camp on a moose trail or bear trail. Avoid camping in thick brush or tall grass where you cant see around you. Avoid camping in river bottoms near the stream or river when there is a food source such as salmon. Donât camp in berry patches where bears feed.
If you have horses and are in cougar or bear country you need to put them on a picket line close to your tent or sleeping bag and keep a fire going that gives off some light and keep your firearm and flashlight ready or some noise maker such as an air horn. A gun is MUCH better.

If youâre camping in an area with lots of bears some use a portable electric fence. This is what scientists and biologists use in polar bear and brown bear territory. These work great for bears.

As the others said you can run a string or fishing line around your camp and then tie cans or something that will make noise if something walks into the line.

One time in the Rockies I had a grizzly following me as I was hiking into the Bob Marshal wilderness area. For a few days it followed. So at night I slept in the thickest pile of downed trees I could find. So the bear would have to dig through those logs to get to me, giving me time to wake up and ready my gun. Or I would sleep inside a rock over hang as far back as possible to be safe from falling rocks and built a big fire at the entrance.
Staying alert is very important. Going to sleep after you got drunk is a BAD idea in the wilderness.
I have more but this is long enough as it is. But I have camped alone in wilderness areas for months and was fine. Last summer I camped with friends along a river with brown bears all over the place. We had one walk right through our camp but it found nothing of interest and I could see it didnât like the smoke from the fire. I had my rifle aimed at it as it went through. A soon as I said âget out of here bear!â it left and all was good.
Fact is your more in danger sleeping on a park bench in a major city at night than any wilderness area. I just wouldnât even try that!

Where are the best places to tent camp in Massachusetts?

best tents for camping family on Camping Tents
best tents for camping family image



jlb1016


I'm looking for a nice place to go tent camping with my boyfriend. We don't need a family camp grounds...just something fun for a couple in their mid-twenties.

I'd love to find a place near the Cape or Martha's Vineyard but anywhere nice in Mass would do...

We're looking for a place where we can swim, ride bikes, rent jet ski's or paddle boats, etc. Thanks!



Answer
I you are adventuresome, you can try Nickerson State Park in Brewster.

The adventure part is that as far as I know, they still operate on a first-come, first-served basis (you can't reserve a spot in advance), and people have been known to have to camp in the parking lot for a couple of days before a site became available.

Alternatively, Sweetwater Forrest (also in Brewster) is a family-oriented campground where you can reserve sites in advance.

Both places offer camping, with nearby freshwater ponds. You can swim or ride bikes (there are trails inside Nickerson Park, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail runs by both places). I don't think that power boats of any kind are allowed on the ponds. Its not far from either to one of the many beaches on the Cape - Brewster is on the bay side (the 'quiet' beaches), but its not far to the major ocean beaches.

What is the best camping spot you've been to in SoCal?




hatorihans


My family is looking to go camping this summer, again, we just got back from tent camping for a couple of days at McGrath State Beach in Ventura and it was actually really great! just a bit on the pricey side though.
I've seen the forest service camp site listings but a lot of their information is outdated and inaccurate. Do you guys have any suggestions, preferably in the SoCal area, details would be great! thanx in advance!



Answer
If you think McGrath is nice, try Carpinteria. You'll never go back. VERY family friendly, loads of fun, beach camping at it's finest.

El Capitan and Refugio are also nice. At this time of year, you'll have to check reservamerica every day to try to find a cancellation.

Note that Leo Carillo State PARK is not on the beach, but on the other side of PCH. I dislike Leo Carillo because the beach is too rocky.

Down South, Doheny is good.

Further south, San Clemente, San Elijo and South Carlsbad are OK, but you have to hike down those steps to get to the beach, then hike back up to get to your campsite on the bluffs. Pretty tiring.

Good luck!

how to prevent someone from stealing your tent while you are away for extended periods of time?

I am going to be camping in the Canadian Rocky Mountains(Jasper and Banff National Park) and sometimes I need to walk away from it to go on a 8 hour long hike. I would camp at a designated campground some can reserve in advance and some cannot. I will not leave any valuables in the tent but the tent will be staying behind. Any ideas on how to make sure I do not lose the tent from someone stealing it? Thanks!


Answer
These wire mesh baskets are meant for backpacks, but you could use one for your tent. You would need an additional length of bike cable to secure it to a tree. http://www.basegear.com/pacsafe85.html

How to choose a family base camping tent?

best camping tent for 4 on Circus Tent Clip Art, Royalty Free Big Top Tents Stock Image
best camping tent for 4 image



Ivy


I am planning to buy a family camping tent, what things should I consider?


Answer
1. Consider how many people will be sleeping in the tent and if you'll be requiring one or two tents to house everyone. Make sure you have enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Every tent has its dimensions specified on the package, listing how many people it will house and how big it is. If you're looking for roomy comfort, subtract the number of people the tent says it will hold by one or two.

2. Figure out what style of tent will best suit your needs. There are two basic types of tents: dome and cabin. While there are a variety of styles of both, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. A dome tent is easier to assemble, having only two poles for the tent and one for the top cover. Since it's shaped like a dome, you'll give up some space in its height. A cabin tent offers more room since it is built in a square shape, but because it has more poles, it can take longer to assemble and be heavier to carry. If you're looking to house more than four people comfortably and have only one tent, a cabin tent is probably the best option.

3. Consider what extra requirements you need in your tent to properly accommodate you and your group. Do you want an extra attached screen room or a tent with several rooms? Do you have a tall person in the pack that will want to stand up straight while inside the tent? Will you be spending large amounts of time inside the tent? All of these things need to be thought out before you buy a tent. There are many varieties of tents on the market that come at a variety of prices.

4. Think about the area where you will be setting up your base camp tent and what the weather will be like. If you'll be camping in a cold region, you don't want a tent that has a screened top with a liner that allows more air inside. You also don't want a tent that allows little ventilation if you're staying in a hot area.

5. Consider the camping experience of the people you're camping with. If you're a novice camper, you might want a tent that's easy to set up. Generally, the fewer poles you have to deal with, the easier it is to set up and take down and the lighter weight.

What size of camping tent should I choose?




Adela


I am planning a camping trip with two friends. We need to buy a camping tent but I don't know what size of the tent is suitable for three people. I did a little search online and someone said should choose a tent which can accommodate two more person because there must be some space for the camping equipment. Is this true? Is a five man tent a little larger for three?


Answer
A five man tent is just fine. I do a lot of camping and I use a 2-3 person tent for just me, and a 4 person tent when I take the wife and kid along.

Unless your back country camping you can't go wrong with getting a bigger roomier tent.

what are problems the pilgrims faced after they got to oregon or got finished with the oregon trail?

I am doing a report for school. so please answer these questions.
1. what problems did the pilgrims face after they got to oregon or plymouth?

2. did the oregon trail end in plymouth?

3. how long did it take them to get to oregon?



Answer
"The Oregon Trail (more correctly, the Oregon-California Trail) generally follows the Platte River to its headwaters; and then crosses the mountains. In southern Idaho, the California Trail splits off (until this point, the Oregon Trail and the California Trail are one in the same). The Oregon Trail then follows the Snake River until it reached the Columbia--which flows into the Pacific." I am unsure of why you ask about Plymouth.
http://www.isu.edu/~trinmich/routewest.html

1. "We had no trouble with the Indians but we did have one awful scare. It was when we were in Utah. All at once our train seemed to be surrounded on all sides by mounted Indians! It was a war party going out to fight another tribe. I do believe there were ten thousand of them and we thought it was the last of us, but when they had seen us all they wanted to, they gave a whoop and a yell and away they clattered!

Of those long weary months I cannot clearly tell. I know it was April when we started and October when we reached the place that was to be our home in Oregon. Sometimes we stopped several days in camp where we found plenty of water and good grazing and while the teams rested and fed up, the men fixed up the wagons and helped the women wash and prepare food for the next drive ahead. Then there were days we toiled over the arid plains till far into the night to reach the life-giving water that was a necessity to us and to our trains. The children of the company walked many many miles....sometimes I think I walked half of the way to Oregon! Some days it was very hard to find fuel enough for our camp fires. Many a time our simple meals were cooked over a fire of buffalo chips and sage brush. The weather did not cause as much trouble. I recall but one real storm. It was on the Platte River in Nebraska. We were in camp on the bank of the river when it came on. The wind blew a hurricane! Thunder roared and lightening flashed! It was a dark as Egypt. The rain poured like it was being emptied from buckets. I will never forget that night! Every tent was blown down. No one was seriously hurt, though a babe was narrowly missed by a falling tent pole. The men chained the wagons together to hold them from being blown into the river. Our camp belongings were blown helter skelter over the country around about and our stock was stampeded 'till it took all the next day to get them rounded up.
But after all, we had but few hardships compared with some of the emigrant trains. Some years, you know, there was Cholera that wiped out entire families and trains that were raided by Indians and too, there were times when the oxen were diseased and died leaving families stranded on the plains. Yes, we were very lucky! "
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cchouk/oregon_trail/crossing/munkers.htm

As told by an eighty year old woman who as a ten year old girl made the trip on The Oregon Trail as many others did.

2. By these maps it appears the Oregon Trail end in Portland OR., or near there. The second trail leading into California ended around Fort Bridger my second link will give more information.
http://encarta.msn.com/media_461517720/oregon_trail.html
http://www.historyglobe.com/ot/otmap1.htm

3. "We: got 30 MPG They: got 5 - 20 MPD (miles per day)"
Using the high of 20 miles per day the about 2,000 mile long trail may have took around three months to arrive but in the Encarta link it states that at times it took nearly six months.

What kind of info do you expect to find when looking at a blog about observing?




Astro Writ





Answer
Rarely use blogs of any type to begin with. Find them boring frankly. I'm also a seasoned observer (over ten years of eyepiece time), so what I know is rather extensive and what I don't know (which is also rather extensive), I know how to find out on my own, from personal contacts to using search engines.

Having said that, what I would need to know would be:
Regionally based (I happen to live near Portland, Oregon)
Long term weather forecasts. From 2 days to two weeks in advance. For my observing region, that would be Central to Eastern Oregon and Washington.
Light Pollution Levels for a given area
Observing sites - directions, nearby towns, property permissions (as needed), Wi-Fi hot-spots
Seeing conditions
Observing / Camping sites (tent and/or trailer)
Impromptu group observing
Equipment reviews
Techniques
Group meetings and classes

Short term weather and seeing conditions can be derived from the Clear Sky Clock and weather sites like NOAA.
Observing sites are usually by word of mouth by local Club members or from your personal experience.

The rest is usually considered topical.

You might want to look at the Cloudy Nights forums as an example.

Why is Palestine treated differently from Northern Ireland?




keiths_81c


Both places have religion as an issue, Group A is one faith lived there longer and the and their foreign overlords (group B) is another.

Within Group A is a complex organization which a militant aspect.

In Northern Ireland, the IRA/ Sein Fien was required to lay down their arms as part of the peace process. Now why in Palestine, why hasn't Hamas been required to do the same?

I realize the world isn't black and white but has many shades of grey.



Answer
This is not the same issues. In Northern Ireland, the parties may live together in peace. I have realized the arabs are never willing to live with the jews in peace, unless the jews pay tribute to the muslims...

Look at other conflicts instead. Like this: after WW2, a large part of Eastern Germany was given to Poland and Russia. And look at what happened:

The Germans there had to flee. They were integrated in other parts of Germany.

As you may know, Germany isn't really one nation, but a union of nations, a union based on the nationalities in a sense basically "feel like one".. Much the same as the arabs not have a union, but could have had it, because they believe themselves to be one nation.

So, my point? The arabs did not accept their refugees. And btw, there was not 5 million of these people. It was around 700 000, and the same number of jews had to move from other arab countries when Israel was formed- the arabs could have given their own the flats they evicted the jews from! If they wanted to. But they didn't. They placed their own people in miserable camps. They want to have them in camps, until Israel is thrown on the ocean. Had the Germans followed the same strategy, there would still have been masses of refugee camps with people living in miserable tents along the border between Poland and Germany...

You want an explanation why there is no future for the palestinians? It's because, the arab leaders generally want it that way. They could have accepted their loss of a tiny bit of land, and made the best of it for their people, but they don't: it's more important for them to hate Israel, than to love their own children. The palestinians are the victims of Arab strategy.

Where is a great tent campsite in yellowstone?

SailBeyond


Me and my friends are going on a camping trip up to Yellowstone National Park. We plan on tent camping. The will be between 8-10 of us going. We need to find somewhere they have a group rate that is cheap or we would just like somewhere to dry camp. We plan on leaving the first week of August.


Answer
I suggest that you do a Yellowstone National Park drive-through during a day and go dispersed camping or primitive developed camping in an adjacent National Forest or Grand Teton National Park. August is a busy and hot time to camp in Yellowstone National Park.

Look at Shoshone National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, Targhee National Forest, Custer National Forest as a few alternatives.

I want to know which state would be better to camp in, in the Summer, between Wyoming and Montana?




biggholt81


I and my friends want to know which of the two states between Montana and Wyoming would be better to camp in? Which has a better experience with getting away from everything and going fishing, swimming, and experiencing wild life. And what are some good places in the state to go tent camping and have little to no contact with other people. I want to go enjoy myself with my friends and have a good time.


Answer
Both are good. If you want to have lots of potential of camping with wildlife, then Yellowstone Park http://www.nps.gov/yell/ in Wyoming would be best - but tent camping is highly regulated there. Montana has Glacier http://www.nps.gov/glac/, several large "wilderness areas" http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/cda/wilderness.shtml, many BLM and Forest Service camps http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundSearchResult.do?topTabIndex=CampingSpot, and some state parks http://fwp.mt.gov/lands/searchparks.aspx.
