What is a good Lightweight camping hammock?

mugmuf

I am looking for a lightweight camping hammock that includes rain protection built into the tent. I do not want to spend 100s either. I saw one for 300 dollars and that is too much. Also, I am looking for a lightweight backpack. Optimally both would be compact and lightweight. I do not know much about brands, functions, and types. Please help.

Answer
Some friends swear this is the cats meow for camping hammocks and it's priced right.

For a back pack, this one comes in at 2lbs 11ozs and is on sale now

The big problem with the hammock is when there are no trees and you don't have big enough hiking sticks your not going to like the results especially at above tree line in the winter months.

I would prefer a free standing like this.

I know it comes in heavy at 5lbs but winter camping is that this will keep you dry and its light enough without the fly if your trip will have good weather.

I need a tent to camp in,?

bluemoon

preferably a 5 or 6 sleeper could anyone give suggestions as to which one I should buy, r at least give me a brand name suggestion. Thank you

Answer
You could try ebay, there is always the locals like WalMart. As for brands, Coleman is a good choice. Best thing is if you go into a store talk to the sales people. A lot of them know their merchandise. Happy camping!!!

Need to find secluded camping area in north georgia that can be reached by jeep.?

tents for camping on sale image

Jcorley

I am looking for a secluded camping area that I can reach by jeep in the north Georgia area for a little tent camping. Doesn't have to be miles away from anything, I just don't want to be in a crowded site full of RV's. Any suggestions?

Answer
There are so many. If you can spend about 15 bucks, let me strongly suggest this: The Hiking Trails of North Georgia, by Tim Homan. It's in its third or fourth edition. It is the best. Hands down. (I have no financial or other interest in its sales whatsoever.) There are others, and the Georgia Conservancy's one is pretty good. But, nothing beats this. Have a great hike.

What are some funny camping pranks one can do?

RackJackPa

What are some funny camping pranks can one do to a group of dude friends and girlfriends.

Nothing terrible like ruining their clothes and camping gear. its just stupid and you're just gonna have to deal with it when you get back home.

Something clean, like plastic spiders and worms. Alien costume and murderer costumes.

Something that would scare the bejesus out of my friends.

Answer
Find a really good looking fake plastic coiled up rattlesnake and place it in the appropriate area. Like right outside the front door of someones tent. If you do your Google research you will find them for sale. It's funny for you scary for them.

These next two ideas are not really scary or anything. Just funny...

There's snipe hunting. That's kind of fun too for the experienced camper to initiate the newbie to camping.

Or open a can of tuna fish half way and insert into the tent of your sleeping camper of choice. No harm there really. Just smelly.

Back to scary...

Put a bloody knife and a bloody rag in someones pocket, that is passed out drunk. Fake blood obviously!

Thats all I got. Have fun.

What affordable two-man tent and sleeping bag is the best buy!?

tents for camping on sale image

MichaelL

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
http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-SunDome-7-Foot-3-Person-Orange/dp/B001C1A362/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1248165586&sr=1-1&tag=aor-sale-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957

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!

Coleman Ash Canyon 25-Degree Rectangular Oversize Sleeping Bag
http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-25-Degree-Rectangular-Oversize-Sleeping/dp/B0009PUQ28/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1248166146&sr=1-9&tag=aor-sale-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957

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.
