@jahanzeb ali qureshi I generally go to new camping locations but I make sure that the place is safe and I will not be alone there. In fact, there are are very few places where I go repeatedly like my favorite camping destination near Rishikesh in Uttrakhand state in India otherwise I try to go to a...

There are number of goood brands here but I have an Avanti Road. In fact almost all good brands available here are almost the same but I got this one at almost a throwaway price at gum tree. I was looking for a Kona bike but settled for this one as it cost me only $450

I must admit that you get all kind of people with their own concerns and feeling of responsibilities. As far I am concerned I always carry a black and green polythene bag as per guidelines of the local government to collect and dispose the trash in proper way. We have self imposed as well government...

Yes we generally use "The so called pup tent" when we go to beaches etc which provides us privacy and keeping our belongings while going for a swim but I have not yet bought a bigger tent as these are available at almost every camping spot. I have considered to buy a bigger tent at times b...
