To camp or not to camp

topic posted Sun, December 2, 2007 - 11:36 AM by  Minya
We're trying to decide on whether to tent camp or reserve a dorm. We had a great time in our tent last year but I know the new location is colder than the previous camp. Any words of wisdom?

    I've actually heard that the new location is a touch warmer (lower altitude?) but being closer to the coast less likely to get freaky hot (like it did at the old location a couple years back). So hopefully that won't be a factor. But to clarify, there isn't a real "dorm" option this year. It's either BYO tents or the 4-person tent "dorms", which are fixed-frame canvas tents with floors, decks. and electricity. So outside of plug-in heaters (which I've heard Matthew consider if the weather reports sound chilly), it's really a choice between privacy and a few amenities (floor, bedframes, deck, etc).

    Hope that helps...

      Only 185 days until Kosmos 08. I'm about ready to start packing! :)

      After 3 years of great tent camping, this year I am sharing a 4bed with my crew.

      Thanks for the new pictures, Brad, love 'em.

        I'm personally a fan of bringing my own tent. I'm definitely a light sleeper, especially when away from home, so it's nice to be able to set up in a quiet spot and have my own space. It's also nice to be able to retreat up to my tent if I need a little peace in the midst of a crazy Kosmos day.
        My suggestion? You can always bring your own tent and if you end up not wanting to sleep in the 4bed tents you can always set your tent up.
        Hope that helps! See you soon!!
