Hi there
I need all the info you have got! All he hints, all the advice, all the do's & all the donts! So feel free to give me your lifetimes hints & tips!
Meanwhile: We are about to buy the Sprayway River 8 tent... but it doesnt look like its got a sewn in groundsheet! I need atent with lots of rooms/personal areas to satisfy the needs of my foster kids (Social works needs really!)
Is there a tent like the River 8 that has a SIG?
Also.... what do most beginners THINK they need, but never actually do? As I am starting from scratch & dont want to waste money!
Hope u can help!

Assuming that the foster kids have to be in seperate rooms, how many rooms do you need.
A friend of ours has 3 foster kids he takes camping, he uses a kalahari 8 so they all have seperate rooms and shares one with his partner

Remember to take spares,guy lines,pegs duck tape, seam sealant,poles,patch repair,clips for poles , blankets( under air bed),board games,tent carpet and so on.
There is also pegs with lights , good for marking out your tent so people don't trip over guy lines.
There has been check list forms before . Put in" check list "in search
Part of the fun is forgetting things and having to make do
Just remember to enjoy your self's..............................
