best tents for camping 2012 image
Summercome
I don't want any negative comments. I want to go to the last Twilight movies which is called Breaking Dawn next year. I am a huge fan and really want to go the the premiere where they do the red carpet and all the stars show up.
How do I come about this? I want to start planning now if I have too.
Thanks!
I am a huge fan of them all so I must go! :)
Answer
First, you can't get tickets (to go inside the theatre), but fortunately you don't need tickets to stand outside with the fans and watch the red carpet arrivals.
That is free. All you have to do is show up early and wait.
However, in the case of Twilight, that's more difficult than it sounds. For most premieres, you wait an hour or two. But Twilight fans are crazy, and show up days in advance, literally camping outside the theatre in tents.
So, if you want a good viewing spot for the final premiere, you'll have to do the same thing. Find someone else (some friends, your mother, whatever) who is willing to go through it, show up days in advance at the Nokia Theatre (near downtown L.A.) and be prepared for a very long wait with a lot of other crazy fans.
They will hand out wristbands to those who camp out, so that when it comes time to tear down the tent city (to make way for the actual premiere), you'll be insured a decent spot to watch from.
The exact date of the premiere isn't known yet, but it should be about a week before the movie's release date (which is Nov. 16, 2012). Keep an eye on this Calendar of Events http://seeing-stars.com/Calendar/ for the actual date, when it is announced.

Anyone who has experience long-term living in the wilderness?
I am in the process of starting an organization devoted to wildlife conservation and would like to spend a summer living in the wilderness studying and observing the wildlife for a book I am writing but would like some help from anyone with long-term wilderness survival...please e-mail me if you would like to discuss this further. Thanks!
Answer
I have had some extreme camping with the scouts, one in a survival setting of making huts out of branches, and brushy roofs in the middle of a snow storm. We only did that for a few days. I wouldn't want to do that for a season, but at least you are going in during the summer when the critters are about, especially biting flies and mosquitoes.
First, I would find a buddy. It's not wise to go by yourself. It would be too easy to knock you in the head, and no one would miss you until a missed status call.
Second, invest in a GPS unit if you are going into a large forrest. One company is also selling emergency response units that emails people you chose with your exact location if you set off. That would be smart because most forest unless in tourist areas are sparse on cell phone coverage. Never hurts to have an old fashion compass as well and a map.
Third buy a small kit with survival gear. Water tabs, MRE's, first aid kit, two-way radio and a way to power and charge out there. You might want to check out some survival sites and books, as there are enough loonies out there who fear basic survival, next big event in 2012. These people get off on wildness survival where they see themselves running when the next big one hits. If only Orson Wells scaring people off to the mountains with broadcast of aliens attacking the Earth. It kind of reminds me of that movie, "Red Dawn" when a pack of teens run to the mountains when the communist Cubans and Soviets attack their Colorado town (area).
I would invest in some good clothes, and some good camping gear. Backpackers have that to a science with solid packs, durable tents and the weight figured out to where they can pack it anywhere and not feel like a donkey at the end of the day.
Good luck with that. As a warning, there was once a guy who came from a good family up east who decided to give his college money to charity, and walked into the Alaska back country in basic clothing. He died of exposure. I would research the area you are going to, and find out what the extremes and plan accordingly. So many think that it will be warm all the time, or vise versa and find themselves in a pickle, and that is a week long camping trip that turns into a disaster. It sounds like you are talking months.
It sounds fun, but do it right, or we will be seeing your horrific ending on the news.
