Best Type of Tent For Long Camping Trips

Since I live in the northern part of Pa, we have some warm weather, but mostly cool to cold weather. Now grant it I won't be out camping in the snow, but our area is know for being cold. So at best I have 2 months to enjoy camping. Hadn't mean't to say 3 season tent in above post, but got in a hurry and well you know how that goes.. Anyways, it would be useful in emergencies as well. May be I am just day-dreaming........

 

Wondering do you do much fishing, and if so is it fly fishing or with a spin reel? I just found my dad's fishing poles and hope to find someone who would be willing to go out with me and re-teach me the art of fishing. So far not much luck trying to find someone locally that I can trust to go with me, as most are working and do not have any spare time. But I have a urge to try fishing again for brook trout in the smaller streams in our area. We used to go when I was young, but I spent more time exploring the woods than fishing.

 

Laughing Out Loud! I was never good at tying on a hook, think duct tape would work? But baiting hook was easy, not afraid of worms like some girls, but I could never figure out how to get the hook out of their mouth without doing damage. Now have Unhook'em tool. Exploring the woods was all I really wanted to do until time to go home. My dad was the fisherman of our family. But I would like to try just one more summer just to add it to my big list of "I know how to do that."

 

Remember to roll with the flow, don't get stuck upside down in the water. This is something that I was always a bit afraid of trying, so you can kayak and I will fish.

 

I found another tent that looks promising and is on sale. It might serve as a back up or for use for an overnight camping trip, where the luxury of ease of putting up and taking down is a must. It is called a Loyo Light Portable Fiberglass Tent that sleeps 3. It has a small rain tarp at the peak of roof and no windows, and a outside rain cover like some older tents had. Anyone ever see or use this brand of tent?

Just added the link to the tent above. Not sure how well it would hold up or if it is even healthy, but it is interesting.

 

I am going to get the brand of tent we talked about above, for this summer. But this tent vents through the top and with no windows might be a good fall weather tent for holding back the windy cool weather.

 

Some of the first brand are three season. I am trying to decide if I need the one with electrical outlet opening or not. The tent comes in the normal square floor models and also a tall but more oblong shape with two windows on the sides. There is one model with a screened room in the front. Last minute choices and deciding which is the better choice as my camping is going to be limited due to my caregiving chores.

 

Someday I hope to make up for this period in my life when everything nice turns stressful and a good day can turn sour in a moments notice. But I will camp this summer and I will get my equipment ready so I too can go camping soon as my chores have ended. Making my list and checking it twice.

 

I wouldn't bet on it, it may work for some small fish but fishing line is designed to hold a lot of tension. You would be surprised how much tension is on the line when a moderately sized fish is trying to wrestle free. Duct tape would probably slip off or tear under the tension, not to mention fall off when it is submerged in water. As for the hooks doing too much damage, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The wounds left will heal up eventually, that is if you are not eating your catch.
