Fellow campers:
Yesterday I received a message/question on my phone from a client I had 10+ years ago. Her question....they were cleaning and discovered her old tent and wanted to know if I wanted it. Used once...still in the original box. She knows I camp all the time and figured I might find a better use for it than just taking it to Goodwill. I said sure...why not? I'm thinking even if I don't personally use it...I have family and friends that could use it for their occasional forays into nature (loaner duty). So I'll run out to her business at lunch this week and pick it up. It's a Wenzel Monarch....12 x 9...appears to have steel poles. Couldn't find much about it on the internet (esp without a model number since her pic just cuts it off). It will be interesting to see what shape it's in....odors...etc. Never know with a boxed-up old tent.
Couple of pics. The one with the box is the pic she sent me....the one set-up is what I could find on the web that looks similar.
My questions to get the thread going: Because your family/friends/coworkers know you love to camp...what camping gear have you been gifted? Was it good...bad? Why? I'm guessing we've all had gear handed to us..."since you like to camp". So....what was it?
