Camping in Late Fall
IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
Are you one of those folks that love the idea of camping, but dislike the heat, the buzzing insects, and crowded campgrounds of summer? Waiting until after the crowds have left, and the weather has cooled offers many advantages for campers seeking solitude and quiet. We recently asked our customers what are their favorite things about Fall Camping. Here are the top five responses:
 | | Just Add Your PahaQue Tent and You |
#1 Smaller Crowds - Summertime generally means crowded campgrounds. One customer compared it to a being in a hotel without walls. Not so in the fall, when you may find yourself the lone camper in a campground that was filled to capacity two months ago. That means more peace and quiet, cleaner facilities, and better site selection options.
#2 Cooler Weather - warm days and cool nights make a great combination. Perfect for ...
I hope to see you 'round the campfire soon!

CELESTIAL NAVIGATOR from PahaQue
2013 has been called the Year of the Comet - and November has some great star-gazing events that you wont want to miss! Starting with a full moon, followed by two meteor showers, and ending with a view of newly discovered Comet ISON as it passes by our Sun. Will Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) be the comet of the century? We'll find out soon, as estimates have the object visible through binoculars in early November. So grab your PahaQue Tent and your telescope, and enjoy some great Fall camping and awesome stargazing in November.
- November 3 - New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs at 12:50 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
- November 3 - Hybrid Solar Eclipse. A hybrid solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is almost too close to the Earth to completely block the Sun. This type of eclipse will appear as a total eclipse to some parts of the world and will appear annular to others. The eclipse path will begin in the Atlantic Ocean off the eastern coast of the United States and move east across the Atlantic and across central Africa.

GETTING THE MOST TENT FOR YOUR BUCK
One of the joys of tent camping is the simplicity-just a humble shelter stands between you and the wonders of nature. Then again, today's tents aren't necessarily all that humble. Generally speaking, you pay more for a tent with additional features, advanced materials or one in which you can stand up.
Prices can range from about $50 to more than $500, and as with most things - you get what you pay for. There are huge differences between a 10x10 which costs $99 versus one that costs $500. To choose the best tent for your camping style, first answer a few questions:
How many campers does your tent need to accommodate?
Tents are sized by sleeping capacity: A two-person tent will fit two average-sized adults sleeping shoulder to shoulder. In other words, cozy. If you want room for gear, pets, sleeping cots or simply getting dressed, opt for a tent that accommodates the campers plus one or two more.
The tent's shape also affects interior space. More vertical walls and generous peak heights will feel roomier than a tent with sloped walls. The latter will be more resistant to wind and snow loading but can feel a bit cramped around the edges.
What kind of camping will you be doing?
