Many non-campers hold irrational fears that tent camping is an uncomfortable and even dangerous activity. But author Frazier Douglass knows from experience that living in a public campground several days or weeks can be a very safe and comfortable experience. In Basic Tent Camping, Douglass offers a host of information about this popular recreational activity. Major topics include: * detailed information about tents, sleeping bags, ropes, hatchets, lights, ice chests, kitchen gear, and other items;
* compressible, fast-drying garments that can be worn separately in hot weather and layered to provide warmth in cool weather;
* how to perform variety of camping tasks such as setting up kitchen tarps that provide shade and storm protection, hanging hammocks, and battening down before bedtime;
* dozens of simple, but delicious meal suggestions that can be easily prepared on a campfire or small camp stove;
* how to plan basic tent camping trips to popular state and federal campgrounds during the peak summer camping season;
* information about the history of tent camping and current ethical guidelines;
* misconceptions and controversies related to basic tent camping; and
