where can i get the right cylinder tent stove?

Q. i want to buy a cylinder stove for camping. one that goes inside the tent. good for cooking, and keeping things warm. all the ones i have looked at are in a wall tent. i just have a good old family camping tent without a hole in the top for the chimney.

do i need a wall tent for a cylinder stove?
is there a specific type of cylinder stove i can purchase that does not require a stove?

Answer
The cylinder tent stoves are designed for wall tents with proper venting and heat a tent by radiating heat from it. All the fumes are exhausted out the chimney. A regular walmart type of tent would not work with it. Also using fuel powered heaters in tents are dangerous they produce carbon monoxide gas and burn up oxygene, the combination will kill you. there are plenty of ways to stay warm through proper equipment, insulation and diet here is a link to winter camping info,

How to fix the broken camping tent poles?

I found one of my family tent poles is broken. How to fix that?

Answer
The easier way to fix the tent poles is to use tent pole repair sleeves. You should count your broken tent poles then go to a sporting goods store and buy as many sleeves as you have broken tent poles. Slip the tent pole repair sleeve over the broken tent pole, and wrap duct tape around the top and bottom of the sleeve to further secure it in place.

If you are not able to find a tent repair sleeve in the nearby store, you can go to a hardware store and buy some aluminum roof flashing and nylon clamps. These things can also help you to fix the tent poles. You need to cut the aluminum flashing to size with tin snips and wrap it around the broken sections of the tent pole. After that, put clamps at the top and bottom of the sleeve you have created to secure it in place. At last, you need to wrap the aluminum flashing with duct tape to cover any sharp edges.

Maciek

We are planning our first family camping trip! We will take our six-month old Corgi with us. The problem is, can I let him sleep in our tent? Or should I buy him a dog tent? But he always sleeps with me since he came to our home.

Answer
Let him sleep.with you if he is a puppy he wont be safe on his own outside in the woods with wildlife and stuff. You don't want to trap him by himself in anything he can't get out of.

What is the biggest camping tent available?

I am leading a youth group camping trip this summer and I'm looking for a very large tent to accommodate optimally 15-16 people? I have looked at several 12 person tents (Gettysburg 12 Family Camping Tunnel Tent, Trekker⢠20' x 16' Cabin Tent and the Copper Canyon 12), but was hoping for something maybe a bit bigger.

Positive reviews about waterproofing is also a must. Our tents last year leaked horribly in the rain, even with the rain fly on and tarp underneath.

Answer
How much money do you have, how big do you need to go?

As far as managing a group several smaller tents would be more suitable, you can arrange the tents around a central canopy for example like the circling of the wagon trains of old. this works best with vertical wall tents of the cabin styles like the Copper Canyon 12 or the Coleman Instant 8. Figure also gear for each camper unless they are on a cot each person will have gear that takes up sleeping space so figure 1 extra space for 3 persons is needed so a four man tent actually comfortably sleeps three, an eight man sleeps 6 and so on.

Personally as having been there done that thousands of times as a scoutmaster, The Coleman Tent family has the best reputation for staying dry in and not breaking the bank, so I highly recommend them.
