Simple Tent Camping

The Basics of Camping from Car or Canoe

Zora Aiken
David Aiken

Wilderness expeditions get the ink, but most of us camp on a weekend, often at a prepared tent site. Rarely do we face real danger, yet our knowledge, gear, and provisions determine our comfort. Simple Tent Camping is for occasional campers, especially those with families in tow. This compendium is filled with field-tested advice on how to make tent camping more comfortable and enjoyable. Emphasizing environment-friendly camping practices, it also touches on hiking or canoeing to primitive sites. The book's valuable tips and hints for hassle-free camping are the product of the authors' own experiences as well as interviews with seasoned campers. Everything from occupying kids on rainy days to dealing with electrical storms and camping with pets is covered.
