Wouldn't it be cool to live in a tent for a week...

lol I think most have(here that is) Before I became the mama of my twins, thats pretty much what I did. For the better part of six years, a tent was home. Funny, now I live in a four bedroom cookie cutter house in a coockie cutter neighborhood, and I call being in my tent a *break*. *sighs*

 

The longest I've ever continuously lived in a tent is two days, I think.

Some day I want to hike the Continental Divide (in the Rocky Mountains, US) and sleep in a tent along the way. But I'd like to find a friend or two crazy enough to go along with me.

 

vuk duh rent, get ah tent.

 

I won'tbe livin' in one for a while, it's windy as heck!!

 

so whats wrong with some wind?
i love camping, summer camping is awesome, but camping in the fall/winter is my favourite
in fact i think theres a camp coming up, and you've reminded me i need to look into it
have fun in your tent

 

You've never been to scotland, have you? Scottish gales are not a force to laugth at....

 

Nope, some tribes used buffalo brains as waterproofing - I think it was mainly the Lakota. Maybe I'd go for some less stinky waterproofing.

 

haha...
classic!

 

I just got a fairly large tent- which I set up in the backyard and have been chilling in a lot recently. It's great.

 

I was actually just thinking about this...I might give it a try real soon. Sounds like fun.

 

I love camping in a tent, I can't say it was really living in one for a week but i've definitely camped out for a week, it would probably be easier to live in a trailer, that's what i'm gonna do

 

my longest tent stint is 6 weeks.

 

Tents R ok iv yoh iz stoned or drunk.

 

Man I once lived in a tent for a year about 20 years ago, and more recently for 2.5 months around Europe on a big vacation trip

 

wow

 

it sounds like fun ... but i would probably want someone to do it with me!!

 

Hmmm....good point, plus, the winters would be a problem

 

I've lived in a tent for more than a week. More than once. Sometimes it was "cool" sometimes it sucked. I've lived in tents with infants. They are actualy easier in tents than toddlers or crawling babies.

If you think (the OP) would enjoy it DO IT. A few words of wisdom.
Take:

• lots of plastic bags (large garbage size ones, for garbage you can't burn, emergency raincoats, table cloths ect) small ones (to keep bugs outta your food)
• a can opener
• Plastic for the ground under your bed
• paper towels, even if you never use them at at home
• matches, wetproof ones
• toilet paper (making crapping in the woods that much nicer)
• a shovel (see above)
• a tool kit
• a tent repair kit
• a small sewing kit
• sharp knives, for many things
• something to keep critters outta your food
• sheets, in case it is just too hot to be IN your sleeping bag
• baby wipes or anti-bac wipes
• dish soap (Get some Dr Bronners, and you can use it for everything from dishes, to bodies, to hair, to clothing to anything that needs to be cleaned, and it's biodegradable)
• towels and wash rags
• extra tent poles and stakes
• more shoes and socks than you think you will need
• If you are going with children, a entirely other list will apply

Hmm.......OK

 

Just trying to help. Ever lived out in the Wild?
