Tent camping with a bad back

yep..i forgot about pillows...I sleep with 4 of them ..different placements depending on how im sleeping but keeping one between the knees definitely helps my back so i have to second this idea

 

is xbox a game?

 

oops..i think now it was actually a nintendo Wii that you camp with lol

 

Nope, the only thing I have is my laptop. I run on battery. Some places have no hook up so you have to wash up in the lake. My dad gets stuff threw his phone for movies I think, I have never owned a cell phone

 

I have a bad back, and sleeping on the ground is painful. I found that doing at least 10 situps, 10 jumping jacks, 10 hip circles (10 in one direction and then 10 in the other), helps an awful lot.

 

Hammock tents look like a great thing to me.

 

Here's some bad luck tent camping for ya...happened just recently here in MT.

Note to self: Must add pepper spray to camping gear.

Thanks, Wolf!

 

Lol, I miss-read the thread title, thought it said "...with bad luck"

 

Why a propane heated shower? Too bulky, I think, unless you're car camping. I prefer solar showers, and my favorite manufacturer is Stearns Outdoors. Very light, grab water from the creek, put it in the shower, seal it, let it sit in the sun for a while ( how long depends on location and season), and then hang it from a tree and there you go.

I prefer Nabumatome (sp?), the generic version of Relafin. 500 mg works great.

 

Have you ever tried a home TENS unit? I know it is not the same as a hot shower/bath but it might help. Very small to carry with you and can be charged in a car Sig lighter. I def feel your pain. I know what it is like to have an injury interfere with enjoying life.

 

Two 55 gallon drum liners filled with leaves works great for padding.
Get the 5mil black ones!
I had multiple spine surgeries around age of 14 and I can honestly say, I feel your pain.
I have to have a hot shower in morning as well.
