So I've purchased this backpack at amazon.com, it's the brand called Jansport, and I was wondering can I used that for camping, walking around city, etc? do you think it can fit my personal needs? do you think the bag might be too big? It's a superbreak pack btw, also I checked the review, the people said they liked it alot.

I had that type of backpack while I was in high school and I loved it! JanSport is a very good brand and is very durable (I took my on several camping trips). I suppose it's the same size as any other backpack...so you should be able to fit all of your school supplies in it.

Camping Tent Recomendation?
Hysol
I would like to purchase a camping tent and am looking for a manufacturer recommendation. It would be a 3 season tent. I need it to be water proof.
I checked Consumer Report and they have never rated tents. Every time I look at some tent online there are good and bad reviews that often counterdict each other.
Do any of you out there know of a good unbiased site that has reviewed and rated tents?
Do any of you out there own a tent brand that you really like? ( waterproof, zippers work well, well made).
Thank you all in advance.
Wow, thank you for all of your responses. Great questions that you asked.
OK, I would be using this tent for two uses. One would be hauled with a motorcycle in a pull behind trailer (Marine Corps vet here-Run to the Wall and Rolling Thunder rides done every year.). And I would be using it with a car for traveling. No back packing. I am 60 years old, not much hiking done here. I need waterproof. I don't mind spending some dinero on the tent. I would prefer a 4 person tent (might have a young lady friend with me now an then) and I would prefer being able to stand up in the tent. I am 6 foot tall.
I hope that supplies more info for all of you.
Thanks for the help.

You failed to provide critical details: size, weight, type of camping.
When I am car camping, I am fine with the cheap department-store tent that holds a queen-sized air mattress and all of my gear. However, I use very different tents that are one-fifth as heavy and ten times more expensive when backpacking in remote mountain tundra locations. Generally, within a class based on weight and cost, you will find many similar models that are about equal in quality. If you spend a few hundred dollars, you will get a good tent.
Big Agnes Fly Creek UL-1, $330
MSR Hubba Hubba 2, $300
A few great tents are manufactured for:
Big Agnes
MSR
GoLite
Marmot
The North Face
Sierra Designs
Backpacker Magazine has good tent reviews.
