If you want to stay dry on your next trip and avoid the hassle of faulty zippers, ALPS Mountaineering camping tents are for you! The Vertex is a one continuous pole design, free standing tent that is enhanced with 2 doors for easy entry and 2 vestibules for gear storage and extra weather protection. Extra large #8 zippers make opening and closing the doors and vestibules a breeze.
The Vertex has aircraft alloy aluminum poles that are strong and lightweight. Assembly is really easy with tent clips that just snap in place over the poles. The poles are all shock corded together as one continuous system. The top of the tent has a spreader section for increased head room, not just a peak. With factory sealed fly and floor seams, you’re sure to stay dry in rainy weather. The polyester fly and floor are urethane coated, the seams are factory for maximum weatherproofness. The fly buckles to the tent, offering a much more secure attachment when compared to elastic cord. The mesh roof vents increase ventilation and improve star gazing. All these combined features make the Vertex 2 a great choice for any backpacking or camping trip. The base has 64 square feet for lots of room for 3 or more campers.

I have a friend who is an artist. Since she has small children and lots of nieces and nephews she often leaves her works in progress out on the deck because it is safer there when family comes to visit than inside with the little ones. The Smart Shade Canopy provides her an even better solution as it will shade her works from the sun and shelter them from the rain!
This camping tent will provide shelter for many outdoor activities such as craft sales, farmer’s market ventures, tailgating parties and art shows. The canopy measures 10 feet by 10 feet and extends to 115″ high. Its straight leg construction makes set up easy and quick as no tools are needed. The heavy duty polyester fabric is water repellent, UV resistant and fade resistant. The sturdy steel frame lends strength and stability for an all around top quality product.

A ThermoPalm camping sleeping bag is the perfect choice for the space-conscious world traveler who wants to pack light. These very roomy and comfortable styles will compress down to an extremely small and lightweight package. This sleeping bag has a filling of Insufil Thermo that is rated to 32 degrees F. The outer shell of nylon taffeta is smooth but sturdy while the pongee classic lining is perfect for sleeping on. At 72″ by 32″ the sleeping bag comfortably fits adults but is not too large for teens and kids. The zipper is a sturdy #5 YKK 2 way zipper which lasts for years. And the feature that makes all this easily portable is the 4 way compression bag stuff sack it comes with!
Sitting outside on your deck is very relaxing, and if your deck is up high enough it is pretty bug free. Even better is hanging a camping hammock between trees or a tree and a post for your deck and laying in them looking at nature all around you as long as that nature doesn’t include biting or stinging insects.
One way to make sure your hammock is in a bug free zone is to have a hammock with netting on it especially if the netting is fine enough to keep no see ums out too! The Ultralight Skeeter camping hammocks come with an extremely fine mosquito netting to ensure that no bugs or insects enter your hammock. The built-in, double-sided zipper that runs the length of the hammock allows for easy entry/exit. The mosquito netting is suspended from two cords which are included with your hammock. All in all this is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors in peace.
