I have a chance to purchase a slightly used, great condition, USMC ILBE Generation 2 backpack for $60 in my area. What do you all think? Opinions for backpack camping? Amazon.com: ILBE Main Pack USMC Generation 2: Sports & Outdoors Thanks! Edit: P.S. The pack I'm looking at was never used...

I did this during this last summer (2012) with a cheap plastic snow sled via a deer harnass. I hauled 2 large totes of camping gear about 3 miles from vehicle. It was my "backpacking in luxury trip" with air bed, 2 burner stove, etc etc etc etc etc etc. It worked great, besides the large dead...

Has anybody tried one yet? I just might plop down the cash for one. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my local Walmart (non-supercenter) had 4 of these backpacks in the sporting goods section. Walmart.com doesn't show them online but I did find this via Google: Coleman Max 65-Liter...

I keep on seeing these previews on NBC. I hope it's as good as "Lost". The previews show electricity going off in the entire world. I'm not one for drama shows but sometimes one will get my attention.

I've seen a lot of people complain about air mattresses because they say they leak. I've had 3 department store air beds in my life, and this last one has lasted well over 2 years, and it was less than $30. The first two were Ozark Trail single size beds (no velvet). They each lasted about 30...

Coleman Instant Tent 8-person 13x9 Tent Mods I bought a brand new, never used, 8-person 13x9 Coleman Instant Tent from Craigslist for $120. It was obviously never used because it was still in its box inside the bag -- and after setting it up for the first time on Friday in my backyard, I seen...

This idea just dawned on me as I was cleaning the downstairs and came upon a smoke detector still in the packaging that I haven't installed yet. Does anybody use smoke/fire alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in the tent while winter camping? I haven't yet camped in the winter or cold yet, and...

Hey all. Within the last year, I've gotten into airgunning. Not those little pumper bb guns, but magnum-powered pellet guns. I'll get a hunting license for the fall and go for some fox squirrels or crow or rabbit or whatever else is legal and in season and head out to the woods. So far...

Greetings, from Iowa! First post here. While Googling a camping forum to join, I ran across this one. Damn! -- All my hobbies in one forum! -- Cycling, tent camping, river rafting, and small game hunting (I'm an airgunner). I see a lot of threads and a lot of members, so I think I'll enjoy...
