Since this is probably where I spend most of my time, I will introduce myself here.
Hello, my name is Shawn, I live about 30 minutes north of Denver, CO. 90% of my camping will be dispersed camping in the Rocky Mountains. I am having some camping withdrawals, as apparently, I didn't do enough camping this summer. I am currently trying to revamp my camping equipment. I have decided to ditch the air matresses for cots. I have woken up one to many time with a deflated matress and am over that. Having been lurking on this site (and some others) I will be using cots, a sleeping pad and sleeping bags. My main concern is that my kids sleep comfortably.
I also want to replace my coleman Red Canyon tent, with a canvas tent. I have camped several times with this and in the colder times, it doesn't heat at all. Plus with its design you lose a bunch of space with the way the ends come up. I was thinking a 12x14 wall tent with a wood stove. That way I can camp earlier in the spring and later in the winter. And my co-campers will be comfortable. Hopefully next summer will be leaving on friday and coming home late sunday or even longer.
that's about it, in a nutshell. Look forward to learning a little more about camping.
