xxbasketba


This weekend I'm going camping with my family and my best friend what should I pack to do at nights and stuff and what clothes it's gonna be a low of 56 all weekend and a high of 78 ?


Answer
for camping:
tent, tarp (for under the tent), hammer or mallet to pound in stakes, sleeping bag or blankets, air mattress, tent patch kit.
Lighters and newspaper to start fires, portable stove with enough gas, cooking pots/utensils/hot pad,kettle or pot to boil water.
Hand sanitizer, baby wipes, sunscreen, bug spray, first aid kit, flashlights and/or lantern, extra batteries. Paper towels and extra toilet paper.
Towels, wash cloth, dish cloth. Dish soap. possibly small plastic basin for washing.
Dishes and utensils, mugs to hold hot liquid, food (up to you!), any condiments or spices such as butter/salt,etc, instant coffee, instant oatmeal, instant hot chocolate. Wine in a box is good! Make sure you have food you can eat even if you cant cook outside (if it rains) such as cheese and crackers, etc
A sharp knife or multi-tool with can opener etc.
Large (full) water container and water bottles (especially for at night in the tent)
Trash bags
spade and a hatchet (depends on how much you are roughing it!)
small broom or somethign to help sweep out the tent.
Remember to store all food and personal hygiene products (including lotions/toothpaste,etc) in the car or a bear bag overnight to avoid bear visits!
Clothing in layers and slip on shoes for midnight bathroom runs.
Dont forget stuff for s'mores!
Remember you wont get much cel service in most remote areas, and dont expect there will be resources to plug in rechargable stuff.
Clothes and personal hygiene products- remember to bring a portable mirror!

have fun XD

generator or inverter for tent camping?




noitall


Hey guys, the majority of my camping is done in tents, so im wondering will a (roughly 1300 watt) generator be too loud? should i just go with a 400 watt inverter which charges through a battery? I will only be running computer speakers, cell phone charger or laptop charger, things with fairly constant wattage. thanks!
i will NOT be camping at a site.. so please leave your comments about disturbing others elsewhere because it will only be me and my friends, thanks



Answer
You will also need to bring along a substantial battery to power the 400 watt inverter. If noise is your only concern the inverter will clearly be the preferred choice. However if you want reliable long term electricity a small generator and a gallon of gasoline will work better.

There are many small generators to choose from. The least expensive are typically the more noisy choices. Honda portable generators are expensive, but also create the least noise.
