Camping Equipment Recommendations?

Keep in mind that I am 6'4" tall with size 14 shoes... I need a bit more room than most folks. We are especially interested in sleeping bags... Make/model... Temp range Tents ... 4 person .... 3 season Stoves Lanterns Sleeping mats, cots, inflatable mattresses Anything else you can think of! As for tents, I would go for something large enough to be comfortable. I kayak out to spoil islands for 2 and 3 day trips occasionally and was concerned about getting a bigger tent in my hatch. So, I was thinking I needed a small two man tent that would break down to a size less than 20 inches (some I saw were about 12 - 14 inches). Then, talking with someone at my local REI he suggested to just remove the tent poles. Never dawned on me. So instead of getting compact 2-man I got an REI model for 3-4. And honestly, more than 2 would have to be very friendly. I found a Slumber Jack bag 30 - 20 degree) that compacts down to about the size of a gallon jug and the sleeping bag may be more critical than the tent. I have some items listed on my site (they link to Bass Pro shop) but I have not updated the links so they may draw blank. I would certainly look at REI's web site and CampMor usually seems to have some good deals. I think you need to think about storage space in your kayak then your necessities. good luck, atljoe -- "Atlanta Joe" aka Joe Webb Flats fishing is Flat Fun! Visit my site at http://flatsfisher.com |
