    Wish ozark trail still made the dark rest tents in a larger version. We need 10-12 person and its so hard to find a dark tent.

    Smores is a tradition when camping. Night time tip… bring glow sticks for all the kids, they love em, and you can easily see your kid at night.

    When it comes to canoe, kayak, camping, or backpack camping, KISS. Keep it simple,stupid.

    Camping with the family is just awesome. My wife, 4 kids and I head out this Monday for 3 days. We have a total of 25 people including friends and family going im so excited. So much work but so worth it lol

    This man has been traumatized by little kids and smore 👀 I’m not judging. I think we’re gonna leave the smores for home. We’ll have a camp shower but that won’t get all of that out of my son’s clothes 😰 And the plan was to wear each pair of jeans for two days. That won’t work with smores involved…

    Get the cookies with the chocolate coated bottoms. 1 marshmallow 2 cookies, they are done. The cookies hold up way better then graham crackers and no need for extra chocolate bars.

  20. @Bill_tyler on February 10, 2025 at 11:22 pm

    I wonder if they have double wall dark tents 🤔

  21. @PyroDreamsNYC on February 10, 2025 at 11:23 pm

    In the same vein as the "bathtub" tip, we camped off grid in NM this summer and brought a 2gal pump up sprayer that you can find in the garden section of Home Depot or Walmart. We used that to spray down the kids (who were filthy) every night before bed. Just remember to put it in the sun to warm up during the day or it can be chilly water.
