Re: [RC] Camping on the cheap - Lysane CreeHi, I got most of my stuff in the Sears catalog - tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, air pump, coolers, flashlight...and a few items at Walmart. Sears has a portable air pump for the mattress that is rechargeable - I charge it up at home before I leave and then it is good for the weekend. It puts air into the mattress, as well as takes the air out. Wasn't much either...maybe 20$ Canadian. Practically free for Americans :) Recently, I saw an air mattress that already has the pump built in so that must make things even easier. The tent I bought at Sears is also good and I got it on sale - its quite big, a 6 or 7 person tent that is 6 feet high in the middle I think and I can put it up by myself (it has those bendable rods with the elastic through them) and it folds up into a pretty small bag considering the size of the tent. Just don't wait until you are at the ride to figure out how to set it up :) you may end up cursing it alot, discreetly so the people next to you don't think you have anger management issues - how many times can you say F**in' tent in one sentence? LOL Putting it up once or twice at home and you get the hang of it. I know that now. But if you plan on sleeping in your trailer, the air mattress alone would probably still be a good buy. Sears also has all the camping accessories like stoves, lamps, flashlights, etc.. Hope this helps, Lysane ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
