Well, group I thought I might share some info. from my camping trip. You see I'm a c5/c6 for last 13 years. My girlfriend and I wanted to take our 3 teenage kids camping. So here is what I came up with. We got a large tent that had no restrictions for my chair to enter and was 7 feet high. Then to make transferring me easy I bought 2 cots off EBAY and used 2 bungies to hold it together. I then put a blow up air mattress on top of the cots and 2 sleeping bags zipped together. It worked very well and I even turned and did bowel care. The site we stayed at was handicapped and was flatter and larger than others plus a cut out bench. My power chair was able to do 2 trails and all around the camp grounds. We all got to see bears and dear. All and all a fun trip, the only problem was the last morning I got to close to the fire and got a small burn on my knee. I hope this helps some of you go for it and get out there. Take care all, Donald Hey Donald,
Well done for taking the leap and giving it ago!!! Did you enjoy
yourself? It sounds like you had everything organised down to a tee!
Did the rest of the family enjoy theirselves as well?
