You, The Camping Television Star!

Did you ever think that you knew so much about camping that you could teach the world? Have you ever thought that you would like to share your own camping experiences with others? You just might be the man to do that. And, dream having your own experiences and guidance to be aired right on Time Warner and on Cablevision. Have you thought of that?

Though I wrote this record in May of 2008, recently, I updated this in 2012. I would like to hear your input on camping and camping experiences and ideas.

So many times I have thought of that yet, I have not in effect put together an in-depth camping show. Yet, that might be in the manufacture for this arrival season. But this record is not in effect about the shows or about seeing camping things on television. This record is just a helpful hints article, giving you a few more ideas about camping. By reading here, you just might find some extra insights, some extra ideas, and thoughtful helpful hints about the branch of camping.

These ideas or suggestions might make your camping palpate more joyful and less work:

Two of the most prominent tenting helpful hints that I can share are these:

1. Never leave a tent, that has not been staked down, unattended. I've had the palpate of leaving a large tent [seven feet high at the center] in effect fly away after I moved about six inches from the tent to grab the stakes. The tent was thoroughly put together-with the fly attached, and in one split second, on a day that had 'no' wind, a wee zephyr came by and grabbed the tent up into the air.

I was surprised to see such a large tent fly away. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it possible. After all, how many of us have tried to get wee kites up into the air with not much success? And here is this seven foot tent flying by.

I chased the tent [it flew over a fence] and brought it back to my campsite, and started all over. This time I kept a hold of the tent until I had put one stake in the ground and anchored it to the tent.

Now I know how some habitancy get wee holes in their tents [They've probably retrieved the tents over sharp fences while the tent was flying away].

So, number one, hold onto that tent until it's properly secured to the ground.

2. Keep all food, snacks and scents surface your tent. Doing this will help insure that you have no bears or other wildlife visiting in your own camping space. Food attracts animals. You and your tent will be safe if you don't bring your food or snacks inside your tent.

If you are camping at Hecksher State Park, all the time bring some way to lock your tent. It has been my palpate that while I was away from the tent, some wee children, not connected to me or my family, were experimenting and exploring inside of my tent while I was gone. How did I survey this? I came back and caught them arrival out of my tent. Luckily, nothing of value was taken or broken. But what was broken was my seal against insects. While these children were inside the tent, they came in, left the tent door unsealed and thus let in some insects from the outside. So when camping at Hecksher or other somewhat more crowded campgrounds, bring something to lock your tent. This way when wee ones are wandering around the campsite, they cannot enter your tent. You can lock the tent by using cable ties or by using luggage padlocks or by using string and knots. String and knots you say? Yes. A string, knotted might do the case where you have young toddlers or babies wandering around. Tie the knot at the top and the young ones cannot naturally bend over and unzip the tent. Personally, I like the cable tie idea. This secures your tent and you will know for sure if whatever has been in your tent while you were away.

Why lock? The reasons are obvious. You are locking to obtain your tent from insects, from spiders, and from all sorts of wild animals. Uninvited animals will ramble into tents that are left open. And, uninvited children will ramble in also. You do not leave any valuables inside your tent, so you are not locking valuables. That is why string or cable ties will work just as well as luggage locks. So that is just one more camping idea.

Where did you buy your tent or where will you buy your tent?

Some of the best places to buy good tents are close to you. Try these: Sports Authority Target Walmart or online at eBay.com commonly in the off-season, you can get great camping buys on tents and other items in a store called, Target. Just one note about that though. If you buy a sleeping bag at Target, open it up in parking lot just to check it. Once I bought a seventy dollar sleeping bag there and opened it up to find hair and a pretzel inside the bag. Yet the box looked as if it had not been opened and it was totally sealed with thick tape. So open your sleeping bag before you get home, just in case you need to transfer the item.

I'd steer clear of the children's pop-up tents. These seem harder to fold up than the larger quarterly tents. Sure, the tent pops open very quickly. But after that you can spend as much as thirty minutes trying to outline out how to pop it down and fold it up to put it back into its' carry bag. A quarterly child's or adult's tent can be just as cheap if you crusade around for the best buy or if you wait until 'off-season" to purchase your tents.

For serious campers, and those who will be camping out for the rest of their lives, I advise Eureka tents. These are wonderfully, beautifully-created tents that will make you smile. They are practically in effect set up. And most of them will have that nice material floor instead of that hard crinkley floor that most other tents have.

Eureka tents are all material and no plastic. That makes a difference in your camping experience.Eureka tents can be expensive. But if you purchase off-season, you can get as much as fifty percent off the customary price of a Eureka tent. And, the tents are brand new, not used.In my next record about camping, I will give you a list of some critical camping items and offer some other suggestions about camping.

Now, what about being a television star? How do you do that. You begin at the first stage of television. Have your schedule aired on Time Warner. Everybody has heard of Time Warner and once you are head on Tw, your journey begins. Leave a note if you are concerned in talking about camping in an audience.
