Tent Insulating Layer

We camp in a Panter Regent (which are fabulous you should totally get one). The regent is made of white canvas. Normally it’s not a big issue but at really hot events (like June Crown events that regularly happen at 100F+) the white canvas does not cast as deep a shadow as I’d like. In fact the sun is still…

Camp Kitchen

Very cool camp kitchen setup: Found here: http://www.roguehaven.org/Events/Estrella2004/Kitchen.jpg From author (valentinepeter@hotmail.com): Also, we incorporated our need for coolers as “ice-boxes” which allow us to place blocks of ice or dry ice in the top with shelves for the food in them as the “base” of the kitchen, and then place a wood counter-top over them and top that with folding…
