Tent Camping in Extreme Heat?




Luo


Most of you are also facing this- the extreme heat and humidity we are going to have this week. Aside from spending lots of time in the water and the shade- how are you or have you kept cool in a tent in 80+ degree weather (even at night)?

We are heading out tomorrow- and was curious of some others suggestions. We plan on spending lots of time at the beach/in the pool- and we also are bringing two fans to put inside out tent to help with air circulation at night. Any other suggestions?



Answer
Set your tent in as much natural shade as you can for the as much of the day as possible, especially the hottest part of the day. Erect tarps over your tent if there is no shade. We are using a 2 man pop up camping tent:http://www.quictents.com/peaktop/2-3man-pop-up-camping-tent.html.

Drink a lot of water and keep your skin covered if you are in the sunlight and not in the water.

There is only so much you can do to mitigate the heat in the evening, but you might try draping wet towels a ways out, in front of your fans. Use any mesh panels to their highest extent, meaning do not zip over them with window/door panels.

Camping with child help please thanks?

I am going beach camping and i need to know what can do to make my tent safer to sleep in being that my six year old will be going with me. i have this phobia about some creep slashing the tent and taking my kid while im asleep, it would be rare, but im a precautious parent. anything i can do to keep the tent safer and secure?

Answer
We are planning a little camping trip with our 17 month old right now. I am more worried about him unzipping the tent in the middle of the night and taking off! I decided that I will need a couple of padlocks to keep the door zipped shut. I will also have to get some pepper spray for bears/psychos lurking in the bushes (ok, I'm paranoid). Then I'll be bringing pots and pans to bang together to scare bears away, some knives which Daddy has plenty of, and I'm thinking a pellet gun as well.

Did you ever see "a cry in the dark"? You know, the dango ate cho bubbie? Oh my that was terrible!
