You need a bigger ten than it claimed on the package. If you camping alone, you need a 2 person or 3 person tent, if you have a family of 3 people, you need a 6 people or bigger one.- w9 w! V+ g2 n7 f$ X5 f$ ?$ m# L# u

If you camping during summer, you do not need a heavier one for winter camping. Usually any sleeping bag is good for summer camping.

As I said, 80% camping gear is sharable. So you do not need canopy, stove, propane tank, cooler, water tank, walkie-talkie. You can use mine.' z7 P l+ K2 y3 p& p
