About

Car and Tent is all about the outdoors.

Looking for tips on how to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in just 41 days like Karel Sabbe?  Want to learn how you can solo kayak across the Atlantic Ocean just like Aleksander Doba?  Maybe you’d like to ski alone across the continent of Antartica like Borge Ousland?

If so, this probably isn’t the website for you.  I doubt I’ll ever be able to hike 2,200 miles in just 41 days and even if I could, I can’t take off from work for 41 days in a row just to go hiking.  Like you, however, I can go on a lot of smaller trips with my friends and family and have a blast doing so.

On this website, I offer tips and information on the things I’ve actually done.  Throughout CarandTent.com, I share posts about things like hiking, camping, paddling, and snowshoeing.  As I do more and learn more, I’ll add to this list and to the website as well.

Sometimes other everyday folks like you and I write articles for this website as well.  They haven’t made the news for breaking records while climbing Mt. Everest and they’ve never gone on an expedition through Antartica either.  However, they do have real-life experience doing things outdoors and a lot of knowledge, tips, and tricks to share with you.

Hopefully, you’ll be able to benefit from their experiences and you’ll have fun doing so.
