"South Carolina has 46 counties, and every one of them has plenty of poison ivy." http://herbarium.biol.sc.edu/ivy.html I think Virginia just grows it on golf courses to keep people from looking for balls in the woods and slowing play. We use palmettos for that here ;-) Southern Md is loaded with blackberries, honey suckle and poison ivy usually in the same big jungle. And that has WHAT to do with poison oak? They are essentially the same weed. Nope. They are simply related. Which has NOTHING to do with toxicity. |

Neither of us got it, lucky, we were in there in shorts and tshirts, no shoes for probably twenty minutes... Later my dad and I spent a couple weeks pulling it out of trees at a local museum and burning it. We were fine but we couldn't bring any of our clothes home to mom.... To this day, I just consider myself allergic anyway... Just in case and I don't touch the stuff anyway. |

This may weaken the seams. Do buy a gas lantern. One of these will keep your tent nice and warm. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-One-Mantle-Compact-Propane-Lantern/dp/B0009PUR54/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1380375473&sr=1-3&keywords=gas+lantern For dryness, use a good ground cover. Make sure the edges are folded under so water can't come over. I personally think you'd be happier with a good size tent (six man) separate from the Highlander. Use the Highlander as storage while you're camping. Don't ever think that a three-man tent will be sizeable enough for two. Oh, one of these is great for cooking: http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000004124-PefectFlow-1-Burner-Stove/dp/B0009PUR5E/ref=pd_sim_sg_2 My wife and I spent an awful lot of time motorcycle camping in Europe. Both of those items take up little room and are quite efficient. Buy plenty of mantles, although you probably won't break them as often in a car as I did on a motorcycle. -- John H.

One of these will keep your tent nice and warm. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-One-Mantle-Compact-Propane-Lantern/dp/B0009PUR54/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1380375473&sr=1-3&keywords=gas+lantern For dryness, use a good ground cover. Make sure the edges are folded under so water can't come over. I personally think you'd be happier with a good size tent (six man) separate from the Highlander. Use the Highlander as storage while you're camping. Don't ever think that a three-man tent will be sizeable enough for two. Oh, one of these is great for cooking: http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000004124-PefectFlow-1-Burner-Stove/dp/B0009PUR5E/ref=pd_sim_sg_2 My wife and I spent an awful lot of time motorcycle camping in Europe. Both of those items take up little room and are quite efficient. Buy plenty of mantles, although you probably won't break them as often in a car as I did on a motorcycle. And, get a tent with a rain fly that comes all the way to the ground, preferable a foot or more away from the inside of the tent all the way around. That's the best way to keep your tent dry. Rain flies like this are worthless: http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-17-Foot-10-Foot-8-Person-Modified/dp/B000W7BHJY/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1380376040&sr=1-2&keywords=tents+for+camping Something like this will keep you much dryer. http://www.amazon.com/Kelty-40815012-Acadia-6-Person-Tent/dp/B005F5L92I/ref=sr_1_53?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1380376222&sr=1-53&keywords=tents+for+camping -- John H.

I was thinking something that didn't throw too much light while I slept. I still have an old Coleman naptha gas lantern that uses mantles...plenty of heat but way too much light. Also have my old naptha gas 2 burner camp stove but a friend gave me a new butane model when I travelled to the Muskoka Region of Ontario for a sailboat rendezvous in 2007. If the campground supplies electric power, I can bring along a household space heater or even a heat lamp. I used to suffer from mild asthma and don't want to take the chance of it flaring up in a cold damp tent. |

I used to suffer from mild asthma and don't want to take the chance of it flaring up in a cold damp tent. If you go to a campground, you've usually got the choice of a 'tent' site (no amenities) or an RV site which would have electricity, water, and sewage (about half the time). You'd never need sewage with a tent, but water and electricity are nice to have on cold and hot days. A little office heater will do you nicely in a big tent. We never had an electric heater while tenting, even in Europe with snow on the tent. The lantern gets it warm, and sleeping bags keep you warm. Here's a nice place. Charges $5 more for water and electricity (well worth it). Even has a launch ramp to the ocean, so you could take the boat. http://www.waysidecampground.com/Home_Page.php If we ever drag the 5er to Nova Scotia, we'd stay there. -- John H.
