A. I would say between 6 - 7 mos is the best time. In the 3rd trimester you are more uncomfortable and the last thing you want to do is lug around bags and shop for hours. Go now while you can enjoy it!! Congrats!

What qualities and features should I look for when shopping for a tent?
Q. I love to camp, but my poor old tent has worn out and it is time to purchase a new one. There are alot more features available now, and I want to know which ones are worth the extra money, and which ones just add more weight to my gear. It was a little overwhelming shopping at the Bass Pro shop last weekend. Also, where is the best place to find a good deal on these tents? I only have a family of four, so an extra large tent is not needed. Just one that is relativley simple to set up. Thanks for your input!

If you are bike touring, you probably want as small a tent as you can get. Here's a few things to consider: Self supporting - The more self supporting a tent is, the less you have to rely on stakes, but the more likely it is to have more poles and more weight. A classic pup-tent for example is simple, has only basic center poles, but needs good ground to steak it down. … [cont.]
