Camping

Depending on the type of camping you are doing, the amount of time you will be in the wilderness and how strenous the work you will be doing you may want to consider the following options:

Camping in non-remote area for short period of time:Try bringing Beans, hotdogs, water, soups, marshmellows and dry nacks. Don't forget the can opener and the pots and bowls. This is recommended for short trips where you can have a cooler at the camp sight.

IF you are trecking into the wilderness and excerting lots of energy try the following:

Bring dehydrated meals or self heating meals which you can purchase at a local sporting goods store. Also, bring lots of clean water, some water purification tabs or a filter to remove any micro organisms if you need to get more water from a lake or stream on your journey. Also, pack lots of high calorie snacks for energy, I always like granola bars, nuts and dried fruits. You can expend over 3000 calories a day if you are doing alot of physical activity. You can get alot of ideas if you goto the local sporting goods store and look in their camping isle.

A forest is an expanse of naturally-growing trees of various species, along with plant and animal life that form an ecosystem. A park is a natural or semi-natural area for people to visit; it may or may not have trees or forests within it, and if entirely man-made, may not have a fully functioning ecosystem.

Depending on the nature of the damage there isn't a good way to fix tent poles. Generally if they are bent, you can bend them back into shape, although they sometimes lose their structural integrity, making them susceptible to bending again in the future. Your best bet is to go to a gear shop and replace them altogether.

Minimal impact camping is when you go camping, hiking, hunting, or any other outdoor activity, particularly in wilderness areas, where you leave no evidence of your ever having been there. That mean leaving no trash, picked flowers, damaged landscape or other human residue, physical or otherwise behind. In other words, leave it as you found it!

It really depends on the person. Some people like it and some people hate it. If you are a very outdoorsy person you probably will really enjoy it if you are a couch potato you will probably hate it.

Canvas, polyester or water proof cotton for the exterior. They are usually filled with down feathers or polyester fiberfill. They are temperature rated so select the one that best fits your needs.

Sleeping bags for kids will be made of a fire retardant material to protect your child in the event the unthinkable should happen.

Is this in inches? If so the tent is the size of a very small apartment.
