How to Buy a Tent for Backpacking
As with any item you take backpacking, your tent choice will make a difference in your comfort when it comes to using the item and hauling it through the backcountry. Your tent, as your shelter, should be dependable but also light, as it’s one of the largest items you’ll carry. Choosing the wrong one will add bulk and potentially contribute to discomfort.
How To Find a Good Campground
What’s better for summertime than grabbing a sleeping bag with your best friends and heading for the mountains, spending a weekend out under the stars, roasting s’mores? Nothing. That is, until you find out the access road is shut off six miles back and you have to hike all the way up the mountain, see a few too many grizzly bears or learn your s’mores are a no-go because campfires are strictly prohibited. These things can turn a memorable camping trip into one which is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
