Tents and tanterns
A functional tent and lantern are a necessity for any overnight camping trip. Before you hike into the backcountry, be sure to see if you need any tent repair parts. Moreover, inspect your Dorcy lantern to see if the battery is charged and ready. You can also buy extra batteries for your lantern at Sears PartsDirect.
