Q
I'm going on a three day camping trip Friday with my Geology class and was wondering what should I wear? and what extra things to bring? I already have a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, flashlight, and toiletries. My teacher has multiple tents and his already providing one to me and a couple of students.
Answer
I have a six-page check-off list on what to bring camping. My daughter and I are heading out for 3 nights as well on August 23/24/25 and we are the only campsite on the whole lake! It's a 4 hour drive from our home in Toronto. We will probably only see a couple of canoeists paddling by and beavers, loons,bullfrog etc. I am a very experienced camper and my daughter and I have been canoe-camping 2 or 3 times a year (sleeping in tents) for the past 20 years. Here's the deal on clothing. IF (that;s a big IF) there are no pesky bugs bugging you for the 3 days - then you don't need bug-proof clothing tips from me. IF it does not go down below zero any night you don't need any tips on staying warm in a Wal-Mart cheap sleeping bag that is useless at 30 below zero. I'll stat with the bugs. I hope you don't have any, if you do - especially just before night fall and early in the morning - you a thick long sleeved- garrment - such as a flannel shirt or a thin ski jacket. You should be able to button-up or zip up your thick shirt or jacket all the way up to your chin. You need a hat. Preferably a Tilley hat or similar hat that is a tight fit. (the mosquito net drops down over your head and without a brim sticking out from your forehead the bugs will bite through the net). The hat keeps the net from touching your face. You need long pants, not shorts obviously. The pants should be jeans as mosquitoes cannot bite through them. You need gloves and the tip of the gloves and the bottom of the sleeves should be squashed tightly together with elastics (if you've got black flies). Mosquitoes will not try to climb up your sleeve. To keep bugs away near a campfire (if they're swarming around) you need to sit close to the fire and have your head engulfed by smoke from the fire OR sit anywhere and wear mosquito nets to cover your head. You should wear 10 inch high boots - not shoes.At night , if it gets real cold, you should wear a ski jacket with an attached hood and also bring a scarf. You should wear long pants INside the sleeping bag, wear thick wool socks. In the middle of the night when it's cold you'll appreciate all these things.Bug spray is an option but buy one with a high percentage of Deet - the others are useless.

what do you think about the tent cities growing ?

the internet shows tent cities aren't just popping up in usa but toronto, canada too ... i think it's sad how they are just letting our economy getting worse by borrowing money from thin air
Answer
It's sad, because basic housing is a human right.
Edmonton, Alberta had a "tent city" set up last year, and many people continue to live in tents or camps in its river valley.
An Urban Design Salon that I am part of came up with some solutions to address panhandling and homelessness in the city a few months ago, but the ideas could be applied elsewhere (source below).
