Hello everyone! :) Whenever my family and I would go out there to camp, we usually go with a group because it's much more fun for us and we also feel safer with numbers. I know some people though who prefer to go camping just by themselves or with their family alone. I guess it depends on the...

For food that will last us for days without needing any refrigeration, I would always pack some ready to eat meals available in pouches and some packs of instant noodles. I also love having packs of loaf bread and spreads which are also available in pouches. For the rest of our meals, whenever...

This definitely looks very exciting. I wish I could also experience trekking in such a trail but I guess I'll just have to depend on your experiences on this. I couldn't wait to hear about your updates on this upcoming event in your area. I think that this is actually one great adventure for...

We also pretty much do the same as you do when we camp @ashley0323. During our first camping day, we usually pack cooked food for lunch and eat them by the time we arrive in our camp site. We then cook food for the rest of our camping trip. Cooking and roasting food along a camp fire is actually...

You're really lucky to have good support from your community and private land owners. There are also some places here with established trails but most trails are made by voluntarily made by trekkers as they make their way towards their destinations. It's also a plus that private land owners...

Well, I think we also pretty much do the same thing every time we go camping. We would mostly hike to our camp site, rest for awhile upon getting there, eat our packed food, set up our tent, search for some wood to use for our camp fire and cooking, prepare our food for the night, eat dinner...

I prefer pants whenever I go to the mountains. The trails in our area are mostly surrounded with tall grasses and plants that would leave me all bloody by the time I get to my destination. I experienced wearing shorts while hiking when I was still in my teens and by the end of the hike, I had...

This really brings out the value of experience over other ways of learning. :) I also noticed how my little boy learns more by experiencing things aside from just reading about them in books. He is a very curious boy and he has a lot of questions about things. I see this as an opportunity to...

Wow! You have such a beautiful area @Northern Dancer. You're so lucky to be living near all those wonderful places. :) From the looks of it, they're a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. These are good places to just sit back, relax, and feel the wonderful works of nature.

This is such a wonderful program. I looked it up and I liked how simple the instructions are especially for children who get lost. At least they can have something to hold on to for comfort and some sense of protection while they wait for someone to rescue them. This is indeed a good survival...

I usually eat more when I'm in the outdoors, either from a long hike or while camping. There's just something about the outdoors that make me eat more especially if the food is freshly grilled. I guess it also has a lot to do with all the activities outdoors that makes my body need more food for...

Hi guys! :) I want to talk about my nearest camping and hiking destination which only takes around a 10 minute walk from our house to get to the foot of the mountain. This is a popular hiking and camping destination in my area because it can easily be accessed from the city, instead of having...

I never really knew how it felt for a leech to suck on my blood but I could really imagine how your brother felt that time especially if the leech was big. I notice how easily they succumb to fire and heat though. I once tried burning one before and it really coiled itself fast, giving in to the...

@Northern Dancer Another good learning I got from you today - "wilderness skills". It's like learning to go with the flow and natural characteristics of the wilderness right? If we learn to adjust ourselves with our immediate environment, I think the chances of us surviving in it is good...

Thank you so much @killeroy154. :) I'm really glad you liked them. I haven't been to most of those places though but the Anawangin Cove is just near my husband's hometown so I hope we could somehow go there when summertime comes.
