tent

So generally I was going to ask the community about a specific problem with a 4 season tent I own, about how its attracting worms that are chewing small holes, but I decided to make a more general informative discussion on the broader topic of tent hazards - the things that can be harmful to a...

Hey Everyone, was wondering if any of you had strong recommendations either way regarding both tents vs hammocks and army vs hiking backpacks? I'll be hitching/ridesharing and camping mostly. Will be hiking ALOT and plan on months of travel as I want to experience the Rockies. I've already...

Thought I'd share this whit you guys, if anybody's into hiking or being lightweight this is a great idea! Basically it's a Backpack - waterproof and all, with a build in Bivy to sprout right out its opening! Though a bit pricey I think it's a brilliant idea, and it's made by a traveller!

Anyone ever tried out one of these? About to get a rack put on the bed of our truck to purchase on of these bad boys for this summer.

I thought about a throw-tent and 2 tarps as padding and rain protechtion. But i never saw this in the forum. Is there a reason for it?

I thought this would be interesting for some rubber tramps- It looks as though the solar power soaker (forgetting the name for them currently) doesn't put out much energy, and you have to buy your own battery pack, but I think the idea is still pretty nifty, even if you can only find a battery...

@HippieGangster's improvised shelter while squatting in Southern Utah:

by Thomas Fuller Feb. 26, 2016 original SAN FRANCISCO — An order by the San Francisco authorities to vacate a sidewalk tent camp in a commercial district has rekindled passions over the city’s longstanding homeless problem, which residents say has reached crisis levels. Some inhabitants of...

Does anybody have any good ideas for insulating a tent or any thing like that? The tent I have is 6x6 basically. And I will have a Mr.Heater Little Buddy. Also what's the beat way to keep water from getting through the bottom of the tent? I havnt stayed in a tent where it is going to lightly...

Trying to decide on my rough camping options...I'm planning on a hitching trip and I'd previously been really nervous about the idea of getting "stuck" in between towns or rides and having to sleep out in the open. Like, really nervous. But, I'm guessing that it should help a little bit if I...

So I was thinking, lets say you were in a dry, arid climate like Las Cruces in southern New Mexico, surrounded all around by remote BLM land, just you, a dog, a tent and sleeping bag. Your only expenses are food, dog food and a cheap monthly cell bill($40 a month). You hitched or walked into...

Are there any tent cities in Austin these days?

I'm thinking of doing some winter camping outside, just wondering what kinda tent I should use, ( like a specific brand, type). Also gonna be doing some squatting and if super cold, possibily stay at a shelter house. Looking for something affordable or to make do with untill I find or save up...

The Cocoon Tree Tent: For the Modernist Camper https://roadtrippers.com/blog/the-cocoon-tree-tent The Cocoon Tree Tent is truly a modernist nature-lover’s dream. It can float, hang or just sit on the ground (though when it’s hung it gently sways and when it floats it makes you feel like...

Right now I've only got a guitar with no case and need to get strings. A average backpack and a tote bag attached. I'm already on the road. I was fine in summer when I was in the central valley but yea... Winter and I'm up in northern Cali. Any ideas on places I might find stuff cheap or...

Hey folks, I came across this guide and thought it was a really cool idea. http://www.alpharubicon.com/prepinfo/ponchotent.htm I got fed up of lugging my normal tent around. More often than not we find people are willing to have us stay in their house or squat or whatever or the weather is...

theres a free large tent in fort bragg for anyone in that area seeking some shelter from the rain this year, you could fit 4-5people in there+some animals, its blue. the tent was left beside the traintracks that lead from the graveyard, (in the northern part of town) to willitts, they are the...

One alternative to a tent, hammock, bridge, trap, or building is a called a bevy sac. I haven't met a lot of people out side of the military or survivalist type that seem to be aware of what a bevy sac is, and I am the only person I know who has one. I think they are a great option for any one...

that's what I recently started using for a tent. I can wrap the tent stakes with the string, fold up the tarp and fasten to pack, and carry walking stick. The walking stick makes a great prop for hitchhiking. When I'm incognito (camping in an orchard), I can set up the tarp wide and short (hot...

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent not too expensive brand of tents? I been looking for a one person tent that's not over 5 lbs, durable 3 or 4 season, big enough to accommodate my pack and in an inconspicuous colour, nothing neon yellow or whatever. I was thinking about going with a...
