zedjay95 June 3rd, 2009, 12:57 pm good write up on the tents. one thing i found that works as well for the tent pegs is to go to one of the tool store that liquidate tools and get a bunch of cheap screwdrivers at like 25 cents each. they have a nice round handle so the line won't slip off. and if you get the transperent yellow handles they glow when lit by a flashlight at night makes it less likely to trip over them.

That's a cool idea! They don't pack as tightly as the big nails, though. ...lars lars June 3rd, 2009, 02:12 pm I want to know how he drove those fancy tent pegs into those rock slabs pictured (looks like Rubicon?) :p Well, first we greased them up, then we pounded them into the rock. And yeah, that was taken at the Granite Bowl on the Rubicon. ...lars Kinslayer June 5th, 2009, 03:51 pm That's a cool idea!

And popping the lids of your Coronas!!! :cool: jeeper June 5th, 2009, 04:32 pm Yup ! A good writeup about tents :) You just missed out mentioning the easiest one for setup and takedown :) http://www.airzonerecreation.com/ My kids bought me one for Christmas and I had the pleasure of using it at Hale Creek a few weekends back . Very well made (High quality nylon and zippers etc ) This is gonna make my camping life so much easier , especially when I dont have the kids along to setup and takedown my tent ! Bruce dog812 June 7th, 2009, 09:35 pm The article was great.. to know what to look for. But i would like to hear what people have to say about their experiences with their tents. Maybe some that are available locally to go look at .. The one in the article is a MEC ? | |
