I’m riding the C&O Canal from start to finish (185miles) in two days so I’ll be camping one night. What type of food is good for a trip like this? I always take dried fruit and granola bars but I’ll be needing a breakfast, lunch and dinner at some point. I will not have a camp stove, but fires are permitted in some of the camping areas. I’m looking for something pre-packaged, small, fairly yummy, can get stuffed in a pack and extremely to prepare.

I love to camp, but my poor old tent has worn out and it is time to purchase a new one. There are alot more features available now, and I want to know which ones are worth the extra money, and which ones just add more weight to my gear. It was a little overwhelming shopping at the Bass Pro shop last weekend.
Also, where is the best place to find a good deal on these tents? I only have a family of four, so an extra large tent is not needed. Just one that is relativley simple to set up.
I am planning on taking a bus to California by Dec., taking only camping gear, and seeing what happens. I plan on finding some work before leaving, but i will leave work or no work. I would like to rough it for at least a year, where is a good location for me to start out? Provided I have little to no knowledge of the area and only what is strapped to my back.
Ok here’s the scoop…
I want to get into hiking and camping with my wife. I currently have no gear. What should I buy? I have about $800 to work with. I am planning on camping through 3 seasons, spring, summer, and fall (a little in the winter perhaps). I am going to need a two person tent, his and hers sleeping bags, and his and hers backpacks. I am looking for gear that would take me on 2-4 day hikes. Should go with internal or external backpacks. What’s the difference? Is there a good rain resistant tent within my price range? I’m thinking I would want a mummy type sleeping bag. Again, not sure though. Brand names with reasons for purchasing would be much appreciated. Thanks.
