>>982799well I have a camping reservation a week and a half from now to pic related (Joshua Tree National Park) and it will be my first /out/ experience. I also don't know much about the differences between tent poles vs trekking poles.
Places I'd like to visit next
Sequoia NP
Big Sur
Zion
Teton
I wouldn't mind single wall, although I'm guessing double is preferred?
Just give me as much tips as you can, it's appreciated anon
