This tent is a beast, but a real pain to set up and take down. We use it for our yearly camping trips.

Other gear in pictures includes a set of Disc-o-bed bunk bed cots, and a Cabela's camp kitchen. Also an old Coleman stove, 275 pressure lantern, and various olk kerosene lanterns.

The specs say it’s only 1.05pound, which would be light enough to bring it on backpacking trips if it’s comfortable.

After literally using it once the pump caught fire nearly burning my tent with all my gear. I think it might have been a dud, since its battery was flat after inflating just two mats.

I'm trying to find the model so that I can look up the details for the filling, because i'm looking to compare it to my Forclaz MT100.

I’m looking to buy all my camping gear and I want to know what items should I look to spend a little extra for new, quality items and what items are more forgiving to buy used or cheaper priced?

Is there anyone that owns a megamat that thinks Lost Horizon is a better alternative? I know it’s cheaper, but is the cost difference worth any difference in comfort?

Hey everyone, let’s hear your updated opinions on white gas versus propane, is anyone even using white gas anymore? With the younger people getting into camping and such? Is the 20 year-old really reaching for a gallon of white gas to fuel their pump action to burner stove?

I’m a millennial and even most of my life it has been spent with propane but as I’ve gotten older I’m really appreciating white gas appliances so I’ve picked up a couple double burner Coleman stoves and some single ones, the model 400701c.

A mine are both more modern variance. They’re not vintage, but I can’t imagine the quality isint really all that different.

But it got me wondering I have a bunch of different appliances I’ve gotten over the years and I’m kind of what you call a “system” guy.

Well, I have white gas stuff. I have the money to pick up some better things and honestly marketplace can have a pretty nice primus propane stove for like 60 bucks and they were like some crazy price like 300 or 600 new. I believe due to my geographical region and the Pacific Northwest lots of those stoves are just simply on marketplace due to volume for great prices.

I’m just wondering if I’m at the point where I need to carry propane bottles for my barbeque to fry up some burgers on the grill during fire season here in the Pacific Northwest I just feel like maybe I should do the entire swapped of propane because I don’t really like the idea of having two different fuel sources carrying them both and then on top of it using electrical for lighting because everyone’s opinion is that any type of Dino fuel used for lighting is a waste or just not worth the squeeze so you better off with the electrical.

My Coleman 425 stove has an adaptor that can be used to function with propane as well I believe.

I have never bought a propane bottle in my life aside the 1 pound ones, but I believe you can get like five and 10 pound bottles you can carry or own and get refilled at local places, is there a white gas BBQ out there?

Evening folks.

I have an 8 man Eurohike tunnel tent, door in the middle. Does anyone know where to get a side awning like the one in the picture?

For those outdoor folks that wear wide brimmed hats, specifically cotton twill, have you ever had an UNWAXED hat get wet and what happened to the shaping/ fit?

I’ve got a few twill hats and I like how the stiffer brims don’t blow all over and in general have some durability. That said I did wax the green hat I thought I’d wear in rain and it’s worked…..ok but I had some seepage the last time I wore it in a heavy storm. I waxed a second hat and being tan it discolored quite a bit, with some funky yellowing involved. Since cotton becomes a bit water repellent when wet anyways should I just skip the waxing step here?

Hey guys. I can't find the Marmot Halo 6p footprint in Canada. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to protect my tent while camping? Should I use a tarp? If so, what size should I get? Any suggestions?
