Camping Equipment Recommendations?
I'd suggest a coated-nylon parawing. For just the two of you a 12x12
parawing would provide plenty of room for two bodies, some gear and even a kitchen area. Tarps are great of course for rainy days, but also for use as a sunshade, and wings are more stable in the wind and drain water more efficiently that a flat tarp. A 12x12 coated nylon tarp packs down to the size of a small football and can be set up effectively with only 2 "poles" (staking the two unpoled corners to the ground with a short piece of line). For kayak camping you can devise a way to use your paddles as poles for the two high corners (or better yet your spare paddles, which will allow you to leave the tarp set up while you day paddle and explore away from camp). wpatrick wrote in message ... My wife and I are going to start camping from our kayaks. We have not bought camping gear in years and are looking for recommendations on makes, models, vendors... 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! |
