Campsites HELP!? http://www.turkrad2009.org/camping-gear/camping-equipment-campsites-help http://www.turkrad2009.org/camping-gear/camping-equipment-campsites-help#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2011 04:47:48 +0000 admin http://www.turkrad2009.org/camping-gear/camping-equipment-campsites-help Me and my boyfriend have just bought some camping equipment and a tent.. It was the third we had bought due to the last 2 both being faulty.. I advise nobody to go with ‘Hi-gear’ tents they are poor quality!.. I am wondering is ‘vango’ tents any good? we have just bought one and fingers crossed this one is fine! where are good cheap places to camp in England? I.e – the lake district? North/South Wales.. Anywhere else?.. We have bought all the stuff we assume we need.. Any tips or things we may need that you don’t usually think about? Any advice would be good.. Thank you :-)

I need to know what the best gear is for Cold Weather Camping though. It has been a long time sense the last time I went camping so my knowledge on gear is a bit out of date. A comprehensive list though would be very effective though. The most cost effective gear would be nice also. I don’t want someone putting on a list a pair of $100 boots and $30 socks. Lets be real people not all of us are Scrooge Mc’Duck

Is there anywhere in or near the park where you can rent camping equipment (tent, cooking supplies, sleeping, etc.)?

I was wondering whether or not I should buy camping gear that I don’t have here or over there. How much are two-5man tents, sleeping bags fit for late Autumn/Fall, hiking shoes…What else should I take/buy if I am going to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone in early september to late october? Your help is very much appreciated, thankyou! :)

It’s me, him, and our 4 year old. We need a tent, coleman stove, you name it. I just don’t know where to start. I want to get quality stuff so any advice would be appreciated to get started. We probably will mostly do “car camping” to start, where you park right near your camp site. If someone has a list of stuff I could register for, that would be great. I remember my mom taking us all the time when we were little, and this is a tradition I would like to carry on. We really need help on choosing the right coleman stove and a tent! We probably will register for cots too. ( a luxury I didn’t have as a kid. ha ha.

I’ve been climbing but never invested in my own equipment, and I think it’s time I got some – especially with Ute Valley Park literally around the block. I need a harness (size medium or large for 34″ waist), rope ( > 50′ ), 2 carabiners, and an ATC. Shoes would be nice too, men’s US size 9. I could possibly squeeze into 8 1/2 but the way climbing shoes fit, that’s asking a lot. Everything should be safe for outdoor use, not designed for fake rocks in a gym.

I’ve checked craigslist – it’s odd how in Colorado Springs there are so few people selling their gear. People in Denver want to charge retail for used equipment, and Ebay wants retail plus shipping. I figure it won’t hurt to just send a shout out on here and see if I get any takers.

Anywho, a donation would be excellent, but I’ll pay if the price is right.
FYI I know how to inspect equipment for faults and I’m not climbing up El Capitan, I’m mostly looking for some basics to secure myself on some short ( < 30′ ) runs and some solo rappelling around the same distance – which reminds me I should also be looking for a figure 8 too… I have no need for cams or knots (yet) and I’m pretty sure I can get by with what I’ve listed. If I need more gear it’ll be because I’ve brought friends along, and they’ll have gear of their own.

And have you shopped at REI recently? You could blow a paycheck there and barely have enough equipment to free climb! I’d rather use this guy’s rope: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak.KH6WvCOOs5v_9NiC8SJJ..Bd.;_ylv=3?qid=20090903221829AAoWuQz than buy one new at REI’s prices.
Oh, and I’ve also seen harnesses labeled “indoor only”. Don’t ask me why, I didn’t say it made sense.
Biners aren’t something I necessarily need used, I can afford a couple of those new. But if I can get some used, at a good price (ie free) why not? And if you want to get really technical, I could take it in to the local university science lab and have some nerds look at it under a few different kinds of microscopes as a science project. Climbing a top rope – which is what I’d be doing – can easily be done with a static rope.

I live around the block from Ute Valley Park in Colorado Springs which has several locations with preset anchors for rappelling. Most of what is available for climbing in this park is simple bouldering with a few longer climbs I could free solo except I’m in pretty poor shape; I just want a little extra security while I get into better shape. Garden of the Gods is also available (by permit only), with fixed pitons in several of the climbing routes.

Finally, I’m broke. If I had the money, I would buy new equipment. Used equipment is better than no equipment.
