When I was younger, my dad always told me that almost anyone can get into a fishing boat and enjoy it but it takes a very brave person to get in a kayak and paddle down a river. This came right after he had scolded me and my
Sevylor Pointer 2 Person Inflatable Kayak
best friend for going duck hunting one evening and taking a kayak down the Nokasipi river in Minnesota without telling anyone. So that’s when I learned what bravery was all about. But I experienced another form of bravery today when my 6 year old niece, Megan had a loose tooth for a long time and allowed a person at her mother’s annual volleyball party to pull her tooth out. When it was all said and done, she was very proud and I thought she had demonstrated lots of bravery. When asked if she was going to put her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy, Megan said Yes. When asked how much money she thought she would get, Megan said $5,000. Others at the party thought $1 was plenty while others thought $20 was the norm these days. What do you think? What I do know is that while the bravery I demonstrated many years ago in the kayak is clearly different than the bravery Megan demonstrated by allowing her tooth to be pulled today, they were both acts of bravery in their own right and we both had fun. So before you go camping again, consider getting a kayak and paddling down a river. Check out the Sevylor Pointer 2 Person Inflatable Kayak. And if you don’t like it, go get your tooth pulled.
I’ve slept in may different kinds and sizes of tents in my life but as my family grew and the kids grew and the number of their friends grew, I know I needed to get a large tent. So I ended up buying a 2 room family tent years ago. Now there is a gigantic, 2-room family camping tent called the N!ergy 1310 family camping tent. This tent sleeps 10 people comfortably
SwissGear Falera Family Dome Tent
in the 2 rooms of this spacious straight wall tent that is powered for comfort!
The added benefit of straight walls maximizes interior space, making this tent ideal for using cots on camping trips. A removable room divider easily ties back to convert 2 separate rooms into one large space when needed.
Clear skylights in the ceiling let additional light inside or cover with toggled panels to keep light out. 6 windows, 6 mesh roof vents, and 2 low wall vents provide high/low ventilation and light.
And the Jumbo size gear loft and 8 storage pockets keep essentials close at hand, yet conveniently tucked away.
You will end up looking at a lot of family camping tents but you simply can’t go wrong with this as your next family tent.
