    I Like Lights!

    You are right @Liz_simmons707, there are numerous options. You have to decide what is best for your needs. I will say - I stay away from the gadget lighting. If it's lighting I want that is what I stay with. I would not mix them. I use the Goal Zero system too - a little on the expensive side...

    I Like Lights!

    What we did when. I have a similar Coleman lantern too and it just sits there hoping that I will pick it up and use it again. I always remember the sound it made in the middle of a night. Everything was beautifully quiet except for this screaming lantern that was sucking in the air. I...

    I Like Lights!

    I'm sort of progressive - from propane lanterns to kerosene/citronella, to flashlights of various kinds, and now mostly solar powered. The solar scene has improved remarkably. I use a headlight too - the one I have actually shines like a headlight and gives a broad view of what is in front of...

    My essentials for camping

    @killeroy154 as you know I tend to be away for longer periods of time than most folks and I camp alone for the most part. I've got lots of time to putter and play and work on gadgets and the like. I've never lacked for comfort and always willing to try new stuff. @Liz_simmons707 I directed...

    I Like Lights!

    I'm with you - I don't like the noise. You may want to check out the LuminAID lanterns for auxiliary lighting. I have the two types and they are perfect for night time. For one thing, they last the entire night and are easily charged. I've tested them in summer and winter and they are excellent...

    My essentials for camping

    ...the wonder and excitement of having children along makes for a different camp experience and a fun one at that. When I'm tripping I look to eliminate any extras if possible. My canoe can take up to seven hundred pounds - but when you have two adults and a dog there isn't much room left...

    Cheeseburger in a Bag

    Thank you killeroy154, the video was fun to do with the limited technology I have. The Cheeseburger in a bag is similar to tacos in a bag - it all works and tastes good. I was happy to get away for the two weeks when I did. Just prior to leaving I was notified that I had been assigned an...

    "Staff & Foot" - Mew Lake

    "Staff and Foot" at Mew Lake was an opportunity for me to hike and play and get away from it all - sort of speak.

    Black Bear Encouner of the first kind

    You hear the twigs snap and the swish of young pine branches in the dead of night and you tumble out of your cozy warm sleeping bag to listen intently. Bang! "Okay...so it's not your vivid imagination at play." "Something is really out there." You quickly finish dressing, grab your hiking...

    Believe in Camp Ghosts?

    I don't know...what do you think? This is a picture of a bear that I took behind my tent - so, is it a ghost or what? I'm referring to what appears to be a picture of a man's face on the right side. Spooky:bag: This bear went to sleep behind my tent - story to be written soon.

    New Foot Bridge Across the Grand

    What "newish addition in the realm of nature" can your community boast? Our Community just completed a footbridge across the Grand River - in our neck of the woods. So much more beautiful on this the first day of summer compared the torrential waves of February past. "...and...
