When I first started camping, it was pretty costly. We had to buy the tent, sleeping bag, stove, backpack, and the list goes on and on. Its safe to say we wanted to get products at a cheap price. We needed a sleeping pad and the cheapest one we found was a Coleman sleeping pad for $30 at Walmart. They claim its self-inflating and holds up al night but you have to blow it up yourself multiple times during the night. You don’t get a good night sleep while using this pad- and a good night’s sleep is super important to me! Continue reading

Today we decided to go camping this weekend- yay! The bad thing? We decided this morning and I still have to work today, get off at 5:00, drive 30 minutes, pack quickly, and leave by a reasonable time to avoid traffic but still drive 2 1/2 hours. So, the one thing going for me is my packing is almost done- and I haven’t even started! Here are 6 items I never take out to make my packing easier! Continue reading

I talk about this tent all the time and now I can actually show you! REI’s Half Dome 2 tent is such an easy set up- even a girl can do it! 😉
I said in one review that this tent take 2 minutes to set up. Well, that’s with 2 people… it took me 5 minutes but that’s pretty good! Take a look!
Happy Camping!

I LOVE this tent because of one main reason: easy set up! REI’s Half Dome 2 tent is, by far, the easiest tent to set up and break down. It takes 2 minutes to set up the tent entirely! It has a total of 3 poles that basically put themselves together. It’s features are 2 side door panels, storage pockets, vents, waterproof floor, and rainfly built for 2 people. It’s super lightweight- perfect for backpacking. Best part of all- the tent actually fits back into the bag it came in! For $189.00 you can’t get a better qualtiy tent! If you want for room, check out the Half Dome 2 Plus tent- 10 inches longer and 4 inches wider! Check out my instructional video blog or click the video below!
