Have a friend whose wife thinks anything less than the Clift Hotel in SF is
camping.never could see those attach to the vehicle tent. Unless it was a
truck camper. Want to drive over to another part of the area for hiking,
fishing, you have to break camp. For warmth, do not use an air mattress.
Use a foam pad, even the foam filled blowup pads are better. Keeps from
wicking the heat away from you as you try to sleep. Put an extra blanket
under the sleeping bag. 99 cent store is a great place for camping stuff.
Get the flexible plastic bowls for having oatmeal in the morning. Mix the
oatmeal, cinnamon, and crasins and put Ina ziplock bag. The. Just pour
some in the cheap bowl, add hot water. Prepare meatloaf and other parts of
the meal at home and just reheat in a skillet. Makes for much more
enjoyable trips. The tents with the outside flexible poles are really easy
to put up these days. I have a Coleman Tetragon 9' tent and takes about 5
minutes to put up. Get a trenching tool and make a small trench around the
tent if you have rain in your area. Make the water drain away from the
tent. Put a Coleman lantern inside before you enter and it will warm up
the tent. Do not run it a long time if you want to survive. If you are at
a campground with electricity, get a ceramic 1500w heater and use that.
The one I had for my SUV was really not any more useful than a decent
tent, if I were to have another SUV I wouldn't bother with one again.
For car camping, I have a (alleged) 6 person tent and use decent
inflatable mattresses.
Still have that old Jeep, Kevin?
