Go to the laundry hardware housewares section of a place like K-Mart (even big drugstore chains like Walgreens have some of this stuff.) They sell collapsible nylon mesh laundry baskets with pop-up wire frames for about $5 each that are super for camping and traveling. Get one of the horizontal ones for each person. They fold flat when you aren't using them and are great for storing and toting gear. Put one at the foot of each sleeping bag to store clothes and shoes at night. Get one of the taller vertical ones and some tall trash can liners to use in it as a camp garbage can (be sure to put rocks in the bottom under the plastic bag or tie the mesh bag to a tent guy line so it doesn't blow away. ) And dedicate one horizontal one for kitchen gear and dishes.
Also, get some of the smaller flat mesh zip bags that they sell for washing lingerie and delicate clothes in the washer. These are good for stashing and organizing small items like toiletries, packs of Kleenex and other stuff you might want to keep handy near your sleeping bag. If your tent is big enough another handy storage item around camp is a backpackers net hammock (you can get them at camping and hunting supply shops or even army surplus stores.) Hang the hammock along the sidewall of the tent and you can keep clothes, towels and cooking gear off the ground and out of the way. Some camp stores even sell mini gear hammocks -- I have found a ton of uses for mesh hammocks in camp. I like to turn my sleeping bag inside out every morning and wrap it in a hammock and hang it out in the sun to freshen the bag up. You can do the same thing with laundry if you run low on clothes and have to wash out underwear, tees and socks.
In fact, I think I have so much mesh in my kit that somebody might mistake my set-up for a gill-fishing camp!

I have a tent, but no instructions.?

I was about to change my camping equipement especially my tents, I want to buy a tent for each of my 2 sons who are 14 and 16 and I was wondering what kind of tent should I get for them.
I saw these video of pop up camping tents but im not sure about them.
What do you all think about those?
Answer
If you are talking about the pop up tents (about $50) that fold flat like a gignatic frisbee, I have one. A lightweight tent - Good for weekends only.
It took some practice to get the hang of how to get it back in the bag (no joke).
They are good for someone who is biking and wants to carry a light tent. They would also work out for car camping on a weekend if you can hide in your car in case of really, really bad weather.
I actually set mine up inside a large family tent (tent in a tent) to stay warm when overnight temps dropped below freezing. It worked, but then the zippers on the family size tent starting failing and I upgraded my big tent and have not used the small tent since. So I can't comment on how well they hold up in normal use.
