Question by Tamera C: What kind of camping stuff can you rent on a military base?
My husband is Army and in Korea and exactly where I reside there is an Air Force base. I heard you can rent camping gear and other stuff from there. Is this accurate and if so what all is there to rent for camping? And are the rates affordable?

I wanted to obtain a camping freezer from Dicks to sell ice cream from this summer time
Is this the best way to do this or is dry ice?

Isn’t it risky?

It is not going to take place employing a battery. 12V “camping” refrigerators will not make and hold 0F and let for continual use. But, in our VW camper, the NorCold unit will run approximately 12 hours on the second battery if it is not continually used. It keeps issues great and cold, but a serious freezer it ain’t nohow.
Use Dry Ice and adjust your costs accordingly. And be careful with the correct ventilation. It is heavier than air so if you are in a effectively-ventilated location you will be fine.
What do you think? Answer beneath!

It will vary from base to base. Some will have outdoor recreation building and you can get things like camping gear, fishing gear, scuba stuff, etc… But not all bases/posts have it and each base/post has their own price list. The best thing to do is find the website for the closest base to you and see if they have the information online or go to the Rec building and get a price list. They are usually pretty reasonable though.
the out door rec building has a bunch of things. camping. BBQ, bounce houses, chairs, tables. all sorts of things.
i was going to get a bounce house for my son’s b-day. they were $ 50 and normally $ 65 down town. so a little cheaper.
it will depend on the kind of camping you want to do. if you are talking tents and sleeping bags. them walmart might just be better, then you own them and can go more often. but if you are looking for an RV, the kind you pull with your truck. then they are good priced. different areas have different prices. i think the RV’s were $ 85-175 a day depending on size.
since your hubby is in NK. you will need your POA.. since he is army and not actually assigned to the AF base near by. so check to make sure they will allow you to do the pick up.
pretty muich anything and everything from tents and sleeping bags to full campers.
