You also wouldn't want any halfway decent tent to get shot full of holes the first time you use it.

Lord Stimperor posted:It's supposed to be easy to set up, lots of room for us and our small pupper, and relatively resistant against bugs and bad weather. We got it for a very reasonable price (less than 250E), so the loss won't hurt too much if we have to sell. But I'm super super stoked for next month! Per previous post, don't forget to post pix of the camp dog.

Tecnu is soap and mineral spirits, if you don't have it you could try those also. It's an extremely "sticky" oil so solvents and scrubbing are the key to removing it.

Pennywise the Frown posted:drat, it's starting to get to that time of year where I start buying tons of hiking/camping gear I don't need. My basement "outdoors" section is already full and overflowing into the middle of the room. If there is room to overflow to the middle of the room then the room still has empty space, not sure what the problem is.

Cobble together some kind of webbing arrangement that allows you to attach straps to the canister, then just pack all your stuff in there and carry that on your back. No backpack required.

Dick Burglar posted:So if I'm new to camping, one of these things wouldn't be a terrible way to getting into it? I'd like to get a legit tent as well, but if I can start with a lovely tent--because I'm gonna end up intentionally/unintentionally abusing my first tent--I'd feel less bad about chewing it up. Also, any particular recommendations on patch kits and seam sealers, or are they all pretty much the same? Cheap tents are totally fine if you will be a few minutes from your car when something goes wrong. If you are a few days into the back country then having your shelter fail catastrophically could be a life or death problem so you might want more reliability.

I also have a Columbia boonie hat (I think that is what it is) that I like because it is very light and ventilated but it might be a bit too technical for a Dad Hat.

Usually when people talk about car camping they mean the situation where you basically drive up to a campsite and set up right there. You can bring as much stuff as you like and don’t have to worry about carrying it any real distance. I guess camping literally inside your car with no tent is a subset of that, but it will usually be obvious is someone is talking specifically about that. As opposed to backpacking where you pack in everything you need for the night a good distance in a single trip and you need to worry a lot more about total weight and volume. withak fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 25, 2021 |

I feel like it is a good thing that I don't live anywhere that requires accessories like that because I wouldn't be able to resist them. It would only be a matter of time before any floor that I spend any time near would get accidentally destroyed.

Seems like if you could fit one smaller backpack inside of a second larger backpack for storage purposes then that should only count as one backpack.

I use an inflatable pillow also, but I like a pretty firm pillow. I blow it up all the way then while laying on it let air out slowly until it feels comfortable.
