Choose the Correct Camping Tent!
7+ Person Tent!
Arguably, your tent will be your most valuable camp-site possession. Choosing the right one is super critical and must be considered a qualified priority. Tents come in various styles, shapes, and sizes. They vary from a 1-person design that can be carried in/on a backpack, to an eight-person family tent that can almost be configured as a second home (small exaggeration). Therefore, it is important that your selection be based carefully and on intended use.
How much standing room do you need? It may be that you can stand in the living area but not the sleeping area, or may be you want to be able to stand anywhere inside the tent. Smaller camping tents do not provide for standing room but will be tall enough when sitting. So, it is important to check the tent’s height specifications.
Camping is fun but choosing the right tent-age is crucial. It can be and normally is a deal-breaker, so do your research.. Most tents come with construction details and specifications, this should assist with selection. Make sure you have the required number of stakes (+5) and a mallet – Have Fun!
Have Fun In the Shade!
OUCH!
Ah Lake Havasu… The deep blue waves shimmering in the sun, the sharp peaks of the burnt-brown mountains looming over the sandy beaches, and the warm kiss of the fading sunlight on your back as your boat cruises back towards the dock. All these memories can be ruined, however, if you forget to apply sun screen at the beginning of the day. The 110-degree heat of an Arizona summer can burn even the hardiest of sun lovers to a crisp in just a few hours without the proper sunscreen.
Though sun block is readily available and easy to apply, many people forget to use it. If you are one of those unlucky souls who spent a day innocently soaking up the UV rays, only to wake up the next day as red as a freshly-boiled crab, than you should consider spending the next couple days sitting under a shade shelter. No one wants to stay in their hotel room or cabin all day when they could be outside enjoying sunny-day festivities. Shade shelters are easy to transport, and can save sunburn victims from spending their vacation indoors.
