Am I a Sony Boy Now??

Let me start with no I am not converting from my beloved Canons to Sony, but I found something interesting about Sony’s first digital camera. There is a lot of Monilota in this bad boy. So after reading up on these cameras and hearing how robust they are and even to this day can shoot some really good pictures. I hopped on the old eBay and searched for one. Now you can find good deals on these from online retailers and you are taking a chance on whether this is good or not and do what I did. So over the next few months, I will be shooting with this camera and doing my thing with it. So stay tuned. Below I will be dropping some of my early pics from the A100.

Camp Furniture

By Patrick K w/Mid Tn Outdoors

Ok so I have been camping since I was 13 so back then we sat on the ground or a log if one was around. When it was time for bed we had a foam pad on the ground if we were lucky back then, I am talking absolute caveman-type crap. Now that I have gotten older and wiser, well it hurts to do that crap today. I have elevated to the king of the woods and camping with chairs, cots, and even tables.

So now let’s talk about getting off that log and let’s get us a chair. There are many types of comfy butt holders out there. You can get bear bones three-legged stool or spend a little coin and get yourself one of those more comfortable chairs that rock and have fancy shocks in the back like an off-road monster. Let’s look at the room you have for storing such in your off-road rig, these chairs can eat up important real-estate quick. But get what you’re comfortable in.

Next, we are going to talk about your sleeping arrangements, if you’re a ground dweller like me and using a tent then you may want something like an air mattress or a cot. Now I have used both. From the loss of my youth to time, I am more attracted to a cot. The one I am using now is the Teton Outfitter XXL Camping Cot. Now the thing doesn’t fold down very small but boy am I comfy. With that said I sleep many years on an old army surplus cot and still have it. You, youngsters, can probably get away with an air mattress and I say go for it.

So the last thing I will talk about is tables and lord knows I have run the field with these things. The one I rock in the tent now is a table from the big blue store. Now as far as cooking or food prep table I was using a plastic half table for a while till baking cookies at camp and it started smoking. Now I have moved to a roll-top type table that is metal and hopefully won’t start smoking.

To end this out I will recommend furniture that folds down flat as possible or even roll up to put away without taking up to much space. I will do a video soon on all of this so I can give a more visual look at what and why I use what I use camping. Stay tuned and well get out there and get your camp on. Be Prepared…
