Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

-John Muir
Now is the time to schedule your campsites for that summer camping trip you’re always talking about but never get around to go on!

Advance reservations for the 2014 season are now available on the National Park Service’s booking sites: ,www.reserveamerica.com or www.recreation.gov or 1-877-444-6777.
Since you are going to reserve a spot and plan that adventurous summer camping trip, even if just for the weekend, you will need right gear.
Tent First things first. You will need a good, waterproof tent.
This Ozark Trail 20x10inch, 3 room tent is huge and sleeps 10 if you want something spacious. The item value is $159.85 and you can get alerted to when this ite becomes available on DealDash’s website.

If you want to go all out and bring the entire family check out this monster of a tent:

“When the wilderness calls, a Northwest Territory front porch tent 18′ x 12′ size brings along the amenities of home spaces. With accommodations for up to 10 adults, it provides a retreat that redefines rugged adventures and turns them into luxurious vacations. The entire family, plus some, can sleep and move about comfortably with room to spare. A divider panel provides privacy between two groups while a back door with zipper liner lets those in the rear enjoy a separate entry. Full-size windows around all sides keep fresh breezes flowing while a moisture-repelling top lets you stay dry. A fully enclosed floor to keep the outdoors where it belongs is also removable for cleaning.” Valued at $350 – you may also be able to get this cheaper if you bid on it in a penny auction.

And once you win, while you’re at it you may as well move right in! Ok, not quite, but doesn’t it sound appealing? Especially if a camping companion doesn’t like to rough it out in the woods – this tent will deliver a real glamping style camping experience!

Too over the top for your style of camping, and just too big? DealDash has smaller tents too. Take for instance this Giga-Tent that sleeps up to 3 people. Retails for around $169.

Kayak the day away!

Don’t forget the Airhead Travel Kayak Deluxe – 12 ft and fits up to 2 people this inflatable travel Kayak has a buy it now price of $364, but the last one sold with only 32 bids total.
Chairs – You will want to sit down.
These GigaTent Side by Side Chairs have a buy it now price of $69, features a beautiful powder coated steel frame, 600D padded polyester fabric, arm rests with drink holders and even better than one, it seats two!
Cooking
Ok, it is the 21st century, so if you’re not roughing it to the point where you’re eating MREs and you do have electricity at your campsite check out this Proctor Silex Electric Griddle – perfect for camping and travel. Cook up some eggs, sausages or pancakes in the morning and enjoy sitting by the fire.

Now that you know that Auctions are FREE this week on DealDash and bids are as cheap as 70% off, now would be a good time to find out how to find the perfect auction to bid on, right?
Well now you can! Here’s a simple exercise to find a perfect auction to bid on and hopefully – WIN! 🙂
1. Make a List
Start out by looking at all of the auctions that are currently active on DealDash – narrow them down to just the items that you actually really need or would go out to the store and buy. Make a list. DealDash really does have items for everyone!
Looking for new items to spruce up your home?
Need a new lamp? There’s one from Safavieh (known for rugs + furniture) right now. Is it chilly in your house and you wished you had a fireplace? Check out the electric fireplace insert. Are you a gamer? Check out some of the Xbox and Playstation games up for bid. Make a list of everything you actually want. This will save you from randomly bidding on a lot of items you don’t care about, causing you to waste bids.
So here’s what you should do. Think to yourself..what do I need? Say your blender just broke or you’ve been wanting to get one. Does DealDash offer those? Check. There’s the Ninja Kitchen System Blender up for auction today.
So there’s already three items that you really would like to win today….
-A new lamp

-A new Ninja blender
-The new Xbox game Angry Birds Star Wars for Xbox.
2. Narrow down your list…Pick 1 item.

While BidBuddy makes it easier to bid on 3 items at once (since these items are all ending right now), it’s not always a good idea to bid on all 3 at once… You could very easily 1.) forget how many bids you have left on BidBuddy if you’re not closely watching… 2.) freeze up your computer when you are rapidly switching browser windows and 3.) end up spending way more money and not winning anything.
So let’s pick the #1 item that you really want to win… Say it’s the new Ninja blender – it’s the most useful of the 3 items and you really want to start making smoothies each morning (ya know, your New Years Resolution to get healthy, right?). So pick the blender.
3. Now that you’ve picked the item you want to go for it’s time to WATCH!
1- Wait – Watch the auction and see how many bidders are bidding and who is consistently placing bids. Wait and start bidding when you see a good opportunity. When less bidders are bidding or less of the same bidders, start.
2- Act – but act fast, since auctions on DealDash are “No Jumper” auctions, be sure you start bidding before it’s too late and the item is locked out. In the case of the Ninja blender it’s $5.00 (500 bids by all bidders will bring the max of 5.00 and determine the cut off point.) So bid early and bid often.
3- Time – watch the time now and time when you should start bidding. Set your timing strategy. You can either be the bidder to always bid at say 3 seconds… this will cause other bidders to take notice that you’re consistent, and always bidding at 3 seconds. Some bidders could see this and stop bidding.
4- Check – check out who is bidding on the blender. How many items have they won recently? See if they seem to be a “go all in bidder” or just throw a few bids in here and there hoping to win. It’s good to study the ended items to get a feel for who your competition is.
5= Hop in and start bidding!
See why it’s so important to narrow your focus if you want to win?
Didn’t win? Opt to buy the blender at the Buy it now price of $182 and get all the bids you spent back to use them to try and win another item. Just remember to make a list and keep your eye on the prize. Until next time, happy bidding and good luck! 😉
