Fall Camping Tip: Packing for your Trip

Packing Clothes: Pack layered clothing. The Fall season can be unpredictable,it may be cold and sometimes it may be warm enough to sweat. So, make clothing arrangements for both the seasons. Pack some t-shirts and light jackets & lightweight clothing.
T-shirts add comfort for the camper and make him feel cool if the atmosphere is hot. jackets provide warmth if temperatures drop and can be removed or added easily.
Each layer has a function. The base layer (against your skin) manages moisture; the insulating layer protects you from the cold; the shell layer (outer layer) shields you from wind and rain. You simply add or subtract layers as needed.

Different terrains: Be prepared for different terrains, the atmosphere can at once become dry and some times it may even shower. So, if you are camping in this season pack shoes suitable for both terrains. Tennis shoes and boots will be very useful in the fall camping.

Fluids: You cannot predict the climate, so carry a mixture of hot and cold water. The day is hotter and the nights are cold. So, pack water and cool drinks for the day climate and pack coffee, hot chocolate and tea for the night.

The combination of these liquids will help the camper to get along the unexpected changes in the climate.

Sleeping Gear: Make sure to bring a Sleeping Bag that will maintain your body heat, by sleeping on a camping cot or foam sleeping mat to provide a barrier of insulation between you and the cold ground.

Activities: Take both indoor and outdoor activities in fall camping. If its cold outside, you can play indoor games, if the climate is in normal conditions you can play outdoor games.

Camping in the Fall is a great time to enjoy the great outdoors in all it's beautiful surroundings, be prepared and capture the coolest season for camping. Visit our Camping Store for all your Fall Camping needs.

I bought the four person Turbo Tent turbolite 4 and absolutely love it. I've been out in it four or five times and have no complaints. I try to wait until other campers are watching before I set it up (1-2 minutes) and then wait for them to wander over to ask about it and how did I set it up so fast. I've probably secured a few sales for you with my demonstrations. The extra covering will be perfect for winter camping and especially great in inclement weather but so far I haven't needed it. Setting up and breaking camp is a breeze..

Hydra-Shield Waterproof Canvas Tents by Kodiak Canvas

What is Hydra-Shield Canvas?
Hydra-Shield Canvas Kodiak Canvas tents are made with a superior, marine-grade, 100% cotton, Hydra-Shield™ canvas. It is a custom woven and treated canvas ideal for the purpose of premium tent making.
It is double-fill (two threads twisted together for superior strength, durability, and a very tight weave). It has a silicone, dry-finish treatment that is watertight, breathable, and durable. It also resists mold and mildew.
What are the Benefits?
You will stay dry, even in a downpour! It’s okay to touch ceiling and inside walls during a rainstorm. This canvas does not leak or wick water.
Unlike synthetic fabrics, or canvas with a paraffin or oil-based treatment, our canvas is breathable! This allows water vapor to escape, minimizing condensation, humidity, and mugginess. Simply put, you are more comfortable.
Unlike canvas with paraffin or oil-based treatments, you should rarely, if ever have to retreat the canvas. Hydra-Shield’s silicone-based treatment is durable and very long-lasting.
The canvas is strong and durable. It will hold up to the elements, and long outlive tents made with inferior fabrics.

OzTent Customer Experience
















Hi Randy,

My name is Sheri B. and my husband Ernie recently purchased an OzTent and Foxwing awning through you. What an awesome product!!! We are avid 4wheelers (full size truck 4wheeling) and our club gets together a few times each year for club runs. Our first opportunity to use the tent and awning was during father's day weekend. It started off miserably with torrential downpours. I must say I was immensely surprised that we stayed completely dry settled nicely under the Foxwing. We were definitely the envy of the event as everyone else had simple easy up awnings that were blowing away and provided little to no protection. We had a great weekend and I can't wait to use it all again.

Randy,

I just wanted to take some time & thank you for selling OZtents here stateside. I purchased My RV4 shortly after meeting you & your wife at the Overland Expo. I have to say that as an average working Joe, it was a strech to purchase this tent. however after seeing the quality of the OZtent, I know that it truly is more than likely the least tent I will purchase. My wife (Candace) & I am very excited about our new tent. We took our OZtent RV4 to Jeddediah Smith State Park in California back the first week of June, & could not have been happier. The OZtent delivered! it proved to be everything one could want in a tent. In fact we were approached by several others within the campground who were intrigued by the shape of the tent originally, but after seeing the materials & (even more important) the ease of set up/tear down were AMAZED. We loved our tent so much & had such a positive experience that my Father-in-law purchased an RV-2 from you as well! The OZtent is truly well worth is price. I have attatched a few pictures from our first camping trip in Jeddediah Smith with OZtent & our daughter Isabella, I truly hope to see more OZtents during future camping trips.

Sincerely,

Ralph J.
