Tents and camping gear 6-Sep-2005 At 2:32:15 PM DaCrux

You can borrow tents from most outdoor shops – try a few and see which one you like best. I have 2 tents – Macpac Microlight (1.5 person tent – big enough for me and my pack) which only weighs 1.6-1.8kg and is great for bushwalking. It also has a small vestibule so you can leave your muddy boots outside and don’t have to worry about them getting wet. I also have a crappy k-mart or target tent which is good for car camping. It’s heavy but cheap, and it only takes a few minutes to put up – so you don’t wake everyone up when you get to the Pines at midnight. It’s a 4 person tent and you can fit 2 people, 2 packs and all your climbing gear in it (or 4 people if you're drunk enough). I also have different stoves and sleeping bags for hiking/car camping. What sort of gear you get really depends on what you’re planning to do with it.
