Most of the canopy style tents are the pop up variety included with tent poles, which makes for a very portable awning when outdoors. They offer lots of shade and screen you from the sun and its powerful rays. There are many tent sales online and can be found at wholesale camping outlets for really cheap.

Before deciding on a camping equipment checklist, in particular the tent, you need to consider a few other factors like how many people will be camping?  Do you want all the fancy features available in a tent like multiple windows and doors?  When camping, will you need separate rooms in this tent? Are you driving a tent trailer into a large campsite directly or will you have to hike a long way to a campsite?

My  favorite and easy camping recipe, any time of the year and it’s Vegetarian to boot!

1 can of tuna, chunky or solid
2 tablespoons of ketchup, I prefer organic
1 tablespoon of pepper paste – found at most ethnic stores
1 large onion, chopped 
1 garlic clove, chopped finely – you can omit if not a fan of garlic
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil – I like canola oil
salt and pepper to taste

Place a skillet on the grill, over the campfire (I like cast iron) and add oil.  Saute onions until fork tender.  Add garlic and saute for 1 min, then add the rest of the ingredients.  Mix and enjoy! My mama taught me this recipe and everyone loves it!!

Want a vegan camp recipe? Omit the tuna and add extra onion, garlic and replace with pre-cooked instant rice, also yummy!
