My son is going on a camp out from 5:30pm on Friday to 11:00am on Sunday. What specific camping gear should he bring? Other than a sleeping bag, mattress and tent.

Does anyone know who the best online retailer is for camping equipment (Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardware)? I am going to purchase a new tent, sleeping bag, and backpack.

Hi everyone.

I am planning to have a bike tour from Chicago to NY this summer. So I need to find few camping light-weight camping gears. Basically I need.

1 pot
1 gasoline stove
1 tent (3 season for 1 person)
1 sleeping bag
all of those around $ 120~160

I figured I can shop them in one spot and save some shipping cost.
I do not care whether they are used or new but I want to keep them cheap yet reliable. Is there any store that offers a reliable bargain?

Ok here’s the scoop…
I want to get into hiking and camping with my wife. I currently have no gear. What should I buy? I have about 0 to work with. I am planning on camping through 3 seasons, spring, summer, and fall (a little in the winter perhaps). I am going to need a two person tent, his and hers sleeping bags, and his and hers backpacks. I am looking for gear that would take me on 2-4 day hikes. Should go with internal or external backpacks. What’s the difference? Is there a good rain resistant tent within my price range? I’m thinking I would want a mummy type sleeping bag. Again, not sure though. Brand names with reasons for purchasing would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I found a US Army issue sleeping bag for sale but the guy selling it doesn’t know if it’s for moderate or extreme cold weather. I know that one will be heavier/bulkier than the other but I don’t have anything to compare it to. Is there any other way to tell?

I love camping, and I got a new sleeping bag recently, I want to know the process works make a sleeping bag, how do they cut fabric, to make a hood, a sole, the front panel and back panel, if so many sleeping bags in mass-production, how they cut the fabric?
