What kind of Vehicle should I Buy?

Posted: April 18th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , | 9 Comments »

I want something that is higher off the ground so I can ride back roads and room for my camping gear and with a moon roof and that isn’t rediculously expensive to have worked on. My current vehicle is a Mazda and I really would like to get another Mazda because they drive great. Any suggestions? I don’t want web sites, I have web sites, I want opinions. Thanks


Moving from Illinois to Colorado–cheapest way to get our stuff there?

Posted: April 15th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , | 2 Comments »

We are planning on getting rid of a lot of stuff from our one bedroom apartment but still have a lot of things to take with us–bed, two/three dressers, maybe love seat, tv (flatscreen) and stand, and camping gear would probably be our biggest. Any suggestions?


At wimbledon, what do you do with your tent after you get a ticket by queuing?

If you get there the night before, and you do get a ticket, what do you then do with all of your camping gear so you can go in and watch the match on center court (hopefully this was the ticket you earned by queuing)? Don’t you go right in after you purchase your ticket?

Camping with my 16 month old and 5 month old. Any stores/websites where I can buy gear?

Posted: April 10th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , , , | 4 Comments »

Any advice about camping with the 2. We are tent camping with a few tents and they will be sleeping in their own pack n plays in a cabin tent with me. I have a summerguard gate for toddler to play in without wandering. But what other stuff could I get to make life easier. Everything including things helpful for feeding, changing, just overall making it more comfortable. Planning on it being a great time but I like to be prepared. There will be lots of room on the sites, a beach, playground, snack bars and bathrooms etc., this is not extreme camping I’m talking about.

What Engineering field should I get into?

Posted: April 7th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , | 3 Comments »

I am currently going for my applied associates in Mechanical Engineering Technology and will be completed this year. I ultimately want to get into the design and testing of outdoor equipment like camping gear. I have tried to write several companies and only got one response back saying that they look at prior work not really the degree. If any one has any advice on what path I should take it would be much appreciated.


Would camping equipment, rainproof gear, long underwear be good stuff to donate to Japan?

Posted: April 5th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | 3 Comments »

I don’t have money, but I have a lot of redundancy in my camping equipment that’s of a good quality.
Socks, pants, rain gear, gloves, a couple of extra stoves and a few hats… just off of the top of my head.
Is there a way to have it shipped over there for free and I can verify that the Japanese people aren’t getting ripped off by scammers?
A couple of extra pairs of shoes, too.
Everything will, of course, be clean before donation.
I just want ideas from the boys in blue that are clued into the scams.
My supplies could help five or more people.
I’d like to do it and know that I’m not getting shammed.
I think I’m going to email the Japanese embassy for ides.
‘ideAs’, sorry.
Riding My Pony – I’m very well aware that I’m on the law enforcement site.
Can you guys point me in the right direction, please?


What's the most economical way to ship to Zambia?

Posted: April 3rd, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , , , , , , | 2 Comments »

I’m moving to Zambia and need to ship some items; a bicycle, books and classroom supplies (I’m going to be teaching), kitchen wares, board games, books, linens/comforter, camping gear. No big items like furniture, but some basic household "stuff." I’m hoping to find the most economical way to get my items there; it’s fine if it takes 2-3 months.

Thanks!


Has anyone actually clicked on the banners that offer free gifts?

Posted: April 1st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

I always see the banners on Myspace and Facebook offering free camping gear, electronics, etc. Has anyone actually gone through the process of signing up for all the junk mailing lists and coffee of the month clubs to get the prizes? How did it turn out for you if you did follow through?
