Heading to SD and Wyoming

I am tentatively planning on taking a solo trip which will cover Badlands, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, Tetons.

The goal is only a day or two at each park with camping. I would like to note that I spent many years in Scouts(Eagle) but haven't gone camping in a few years. I have also never been to a National Park before so don't really know what to expect. I have an America the Beautiful Pass. I have done hikes of around 3 or 4 miles fairly easily in the summer recently.

Since I will be camping in a tent, I am not sure about reservations. I'd prefer to be able to show up and camp(pay the fee if needed). Currently looking at Elk Mountain and sites at Tetons as well as BLM land.

I am making a of list of everything I should bring/prepare for.

Tent, sleeping bag(currently have a 50F bag I don't think this will be enough), sleeping pad, camping stove(looking at Coleman 1 burner), trekking poles, bear spray(I also have a ccw permit that Wyoming and SD recognize), rain gear/windbreaker, igloo cooler.

Any help when it comes to hikes to do/parks to visit, camping sites, camping in general, gear. keeping food safe would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to tell me this is a bad idea.

P.S. I would like to hike one mountain while on this trip(propably an "easier" one).

Tab S10 Fe vs iPad 11(A16) for online teaching videos

I am going to be recording a series of videos going though worksheets (there will be math and sketches) so I am looking for a tablet that will be able to screen record while I work without issue. The worksheets will be pdfs that I edit while I record. I will also use the tablet for notetaking in the future. These two devices are in the price range I am looking for; S10fe(~$470 from Samsung, international model ~400 from Amazon), iPad 11(A16) for between $370 and $430 (~$299 from Amazon + Apple Pen ~$79)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Note: I will have to record the first two videos with just a document camera as neither of these will be available to me before I need to post them.

Stolen bike

Hello everyone,

My bike, blue trek fx1, was stolen from the first property management apartments near the frats recently. If anyone sees it or knows it's whereabouts please let me know. Would look like this bike pictured here.

Edit: I have filed a police report.
