Hi,is it safe to leave your equipment outside,like picnic table,chairs,etc when you go out for the day and i dont mean under a canopy but beside the tent,would i come back to find all my stuff pinched or moved by fellow campers!...LOL....thanks.

We put the chairs and foldaway tables inside to keep them dry, but leave out the cooker, gas etc.  Never had a problem.   If someone wanted to pinch your stuff its just as easy for them to get it out of the tent... infact they could spend time in the tent folding the chairs up etc. for a quick getaway so they wouldn't be spotted so easily.

We`ve camped for nearly 25 years and always leave stuff outside, except for expensive electrcal stuff of course. Never had anything taken or moved. The only slight problem is if it rains , things get wet of course.

Its the unspoken rule that you respect other peoples spaces and keep an eye on their stuff for them.

Sure it is.

Never had anything stolen or damaged and hopefully it will stay that way.

If it is windy then it is a good idea to fold the chairs and put anything small away so it isnt blown away but dont worry, we all look out for each other ;)

Should have stuck a price on it to make it look valuable!

I leave my kitchen stand out with food, chopping boards etc. with no issues.

I also leave my BBQ outside with no reported issues.

I do take my Cadac Safari Chef HP inside though, as that is quite nickable IMHO.
