Camping...The Outdoor type...

Rook · 06-22-2010, 05:35 PM

Thanks, really, for all the great ideas....
True, I'm not going to buy a 500 $ tent if I wont use it much, But..
I will try for something comfortable, within my budget w/o risking Camping Horror, y'know?
I do like the thought of enough room to move around inside {if it rains, or at Night} and maybe a decent "protected" psuedo-porch...
I did see at the sports shop a reasonably priced netted gazebo-looking tarp [i cant find the proper word for what it was] suitable for the tent, maybe a folding chair, and hammock...
Considering the Weather lately, I will test the tent before the Trip, gonna 'hunt' down seam sealer, and have a tarp under it...
We're most likely going from a Friday to a Sunday ....
I can't go longer, not w/o leaving the "wilderness" for dialysis {talk about mood-killer}
Dried foods of any kind *not even Nuts* I cant have..Phosphorus content, and Calcium.
So, I'll probably pack up some pre-seasoned frozen meats, I do love the smell of Grill (and ya cant beat a campfire)...charcoal 'n' wood {I'm actually lookin forward to burning the pine cones *L*}
I pondered pre-made tuna sandwich, but that would just give hym a story to tell {We're fishing}
DEET bug repellent is the first thing I'm getting, even before considering a Tent...
If I buy anything for a 1 time use, I'll letcha know...
Tarp, air mattress/cot and cozy sleeping bag are my Must-haves...so that's settled
I'm trying not to use too much lamps or flashlights...batteries, i'll keep, with a kick-ass AM/FM radio {it IS Ohio, and I don't like surprises}
I may or may not take sonic boom/blinky alarm clock, hy can wake me up hymself, crack of dawn, otherwise I take it and make hym miserable.*I'm Deaf, we DO have alarm clocks, sadly, hearing people within range hate it*

I need my coffee..and I'm sick of hym calling me a dew whore when I go w/o..

Sooo, French Press...
I liked the idea for the TP in a container, I'm sure hy'll ask "wtf is up with all this coffee???"

My ferrets, they're staying home...
As much as I'd love to take them, I won't risk them catching fleas, ticks or whatever else might be around that I just KNOW they'll try to get into....
That, and oddly enough, they make hym nervous every time hy visits

Used to love those glow sticks as a kid, I might get maybe 3....To keep our campsite on the map, if we Hike.

Kinda glad about this thread, lots of good advice....
Thanx
{I intend to have FUN}

Here's an easy breakfast idea for you: Omelet in a Baggie
In a ziplock baggie, mix eggs (however many you want in your omelet) and all the fixins you like in your omelet. Each baggie feeds one person. To fix them, all you need to do is boil a pot of water and drop the baggie in the water. When the eggs are cooked, just unzip the bag and dip in with a spoon. Easy clean up, too! (I'm not mentioning the obvious such as take out of water, etc as I think you can figure that part out yourself. LOL)

I have several tents. A large two cabin tent, some other smaller tents and I just got this one for backpacking or light camping.

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016HMBN0/ref=wms_ohs_product"]Amazon.com: Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent: Sports & Outdoors[/ame]

Its really great because it can be a nice small screen encloser or you can cover. Its great for wind or foul weather and it does NOT leak.

another must have is an inflatable air pad.

I'm working up to do a hike next year through France and Spain
El Camino de Santiago. Its 33 days. There are hostels and such along the way but I may bring my little tent and camp out along the way.
