Windex June 26, 2007 Share Windex Member June 26, 2007 I recall you all saying there was a campground near by? If you could post some more info that'd be grand! i plan to come up early to hang out with everyone since I'm overdue for a vacation. Rather than paying absurd rates for a hotel for 5 days I'm going to camp out and bring a cooler of some wonderful beverages Anyone wanting to join me is more than welcome I have a six man tent and some small brass padlocks to lock it as well.

Ewerd June 26, 2007 Share Ewerd Member June 26, 2007 I'm sorry, and I'm not trying to sound rude, but this kind of dumbfounds me... Tents are made out of a vinyl-like material, right? Now, even if you locked the door at the frame... its still made out of a light material that can easily be gotten into if need be, right? Or is this some kind of uber-strength tent?

Wolfsblood June 26, 2007 Share Wolfsblood Member June 26, 2007 Aaah, but the theory is, that people who would be likely to steal your stuff wouldn't camp, since they'd assume that people would steal their own stuff. In practice it works very well. Many, many years of camping, never had anything messed with, and we routinely leave the campsite unattended for hours at a time. Oh, and modern tents are usually made out of nylon, or something like that. With mesh netting for windows. Quite burglar proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DLM]->Fish June 27, 2007 Share [DLM]->Fish Member June 27, 2007 Ya I have been camping over 200 times and never had anything stolen by a human. Animals have taken stuff before mostly food but I was camping during 9/11 and a fox stole a bottle of bug repellent from right in front of me.

farmerisme June 28, 2007 Share farmerisme Member June 28, 2007 The theory is that the great majority of people that would steal something from a tent would only do it if they could get in and out without visually breaking in. Same reason you put locks on cabin/shed/garage doors up north. With the lock on there only true asshats would steal something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
