What is considered a water source, and why is it recommended to camp so far from them? Everyone likes camping right by the shore. Invariably, everyone would camp in nearly the same spot, and ultimately trash the place. Dispersing campsites prevents that, to some degree. |

How should we split up a 3 person tent? @LBell: If someone in my group is lost or dead, then I've got more important things to deal with than not having a stove. |

How should we split up a 3 person tent? Yep this is what my friends and I do. One guy has the tent, the other has the food and stove, or some similar arrangement. |

How do I Plan a Hiking Trip to Rocky Mountain National Park, CO If you're backpacking, I'd give consideration to avoiding RMNP and looking at the many wilderness areas immediately around it. Wilderness areas are often less busy, often better suited to backpackers, and often cheaper or free, with no designated campsites. Different wilderness areas have different styles of scenery. |

Good “real” fridge for car camping How big? How do you plan to power it? Cooling demands a lot of energy and if you don't have your engine running at all times you'll need to setup a double-battery system at minimum. |

What is the ultimate car camping bed solution — for two people? I have a rei.com/product/780367/exped-synmat-7-air-pad-with-pump and find it to work great both for backpacking and for car camping. |

Safe Way to Mark a Carabiner I would not worry about nail polish disturbing the mechanism if used as pictured, especially on a screw-gate. A nail polish layer will be very thin as long as you don't gob it on all over the place, and snapping the carabiner shut a few times will take care of any bumps in the polish. |

Safe Way to Mark a Carabiner Yes, and nail polish will work for that. |

How to create campfire which will burn overnight? @DonBranson: I think there was one where he went to Labrador, and the episode was cut short because the producers sent a helicopter crew to pick him up because there was some imminent storm or something, perhaps that's what you're thinking? |

How to create campfire which will burn overnight? I think the primary method employed is the "TV producers and staff keep it going while the camera isn't running" method. |

Is freeze-dried food healthy? Let's be clear on something, are you simply talking about food that has undergone freeze-drying, or are you talking about commercial freeze-dried offerings? |
