Peter ;

Is your food safe from the horse ?

After a "learning experience" with squirrels in the Grand Canyon, I try
not to leave the food where any critters can gain access to it.
[Although it turned out that we had a surplus and the squirrels just
lightened our load on the way out.] So we didn't lose any food to the
horses.

You can tell that i don't live near a ocean or large body of water ,
yet. When i was going to school in Minnesota the bugs weren't really
bad. Worse than here in ohio. The portable hammock i found weight
around 20 lbs. , ok for a weekend trip. The hammock comes with its
own stand . :-) . I won't know what kind of tent that would work the
best , secure it to the ground. From article i read , this may not be
a problem (designated camp grounds ).



We camped on the ocean side and found that the main issue was the
strong wind combined with just having sand to secure the tent stakes.
On our first trip back to town we bought some larger stakes and
supplemented them with sticks tied to rope and buried in the sand. We
didn't have any problems with our tent but saw a few others blowing
across the beach.
The horses sometimes wandered through camp and brushed up against
tents and other things.
