My boyfriend and I want to go camping next month and are trying to find somewhat cheap camping gear. We need pretty much everything: a tent, sleeping bags…you know all of the basics!! Anyone have any suggestions?

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’m looking for a problem to solve, because that’s what I do. And sleeping bags are my current target.
Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a good brand or offer recommendations for rectangular or tapered cold-weather sleeping bags rated 10 – 20 F ? I’d like to find one that is water-proof but if I can get a good quality one that isn’t, that’s ok. Also, the bag needs to be large enough to fit a 6 ft. 5 in person and wide enough to house 2 people of ‘average’ size.

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?

I noticed that mylar is used in emergency sleeping bags. I also noticed that it is really light. Why isn’t mylar used in created commercial sleeping bags?

I am looking for suppliers (wholesalers or primary manufacturers) of sleeping bags who can drop ship to my U.S. customers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am a motorcyclist looking for a 3 persons tent to bring in my trip. This tent has to be very small when it is packed. A clerk at L.L. Bean Suggest me Mutha Hubba 3 persons. Is it a good choice! I have to choose too, two sleeping bags that I can zip toguether (no mommy). I never sleep outside below freezing point and those sleeping have to be very small when packed. Thanks to all of you! By the way size matters not the weight!

I have to sleep on the floor for a week. Last time I did that my back ended up aching even when I tried using pillows as a replacement for a mattress. Blow up mattresses (whatever you call it) aren’t comfy at all…

Are sleeping bags the next best thing? What brands?

I just finished reading all three books and they were amazing! And I was just wondering if she is writing any other books after Spells and Sleeping Bags!
