[camping gear] Trying to figure route to take next
#4
We car camp a few times a year.

Little Poochie and I sat in one of these in March at a trade show. It was compact, colorful and cool looking. Then L.P. said "Dad, why would we want to sleep in one of these things next to the food when there are bears around?"

The kid had a good point. He must take after his Father.

We car camp with a $60 tent I bought at KMart that has held up quite well over the past 6 years and store our food locked up in the car. L.P. has learned from his days camping with the Cub Scouts that you shouldn't even bring stuff like deodorant and toothpaste in the tent with you.




If you want to buy a used Honda Element (we have one and love it for camping trips), you can pay a few thousand and have one of these installed on top.

Of course, we sometimes pass the RV campgrounds and enviously see the happy inhabitants sipping cocktails and watching football in the RV park while we look and smell like we just spent a week sleeping in a tent out in the woods.
