As i mentioned in the last two posts I decided to head out on the North Country trail and walk through Pennsylvania, and then turn south again and may be head over and visit with @happyflowerlady , in hopes she can help me find a meeting place for all us babbling campers. So I am taking off in...

While the main focus here is outdoor gear and camping supplies, we need to remember emergencies can happen at the campsite, as well as, to and from or on any highway away from home. Most of us carry what we need for a car or truck breakdown, but often we forget what might be really needed should...

Thank you for sharing that info. I have often thought it would be fun to have a kayak, but the getting in and out would be a issue for me. But this flat top model might be something I could use on easy going rivers and inlets for exploring and fishing. sounds like you had some fun doing...

There I go again using my humor to alert folks about the "who is following you" which of course is like my Facebook list of friends. But @Dancer, I thought you would smile at my comment. Gosh....................I know your not actually following me, cause your knowledge of stuff, is way beyond...

Most of us keep chap stick tubes on hand to prevent our lips from drying out. But did you know that same tube of chap stick could be used in a emergency situation in camp or carried in your survival pack providing you with more ways to stay warm and make it out alive. Watch this video to learn a...

Camping was a different adventure in 1877 or even in the early 1900's. Often all you carried was a bedroll and a canvas or cloth tarp. But I think learning the old ways can inspire us to use some of the old ways with our modern inventions. Watch these video's to add to your knowledge of the true...

Most every video I watched told about the ease of creating an alcohol stove from soda cans, but then no instructions for doing so. This video gives clear instruction on the way to create these stoves from items normally found in your home. I hope this video gives you some inspiration to create...

I just visited your profile and up in the corner of the page it said, "Northern Dancer is following you." Humm...... what an interesting idea, are you stalking me? Well see if you can..... lol :cool::happy::rolleyes:

I think I would have to be really starving to eat live bugs or worms. The first tendency would be to gag. If you can get over that response then maybe just maybe the rest would go down a bit easier. lol Not sure i want to try it though. :rolleyes:

Going to start out slow and do some exploring along the Clarion river before the weeds grow high and the snakes come out. Then going to walk a few trails up around Bradford, Pa. Hope to go camping with friends and use my tent and maybe rent a cabin somewhere in the woods. Hope my old bones can...

O'boy now we can be couch potatoes while camping. I did not even know they made inflatable sofa's. :cool::)

Here is a link to a post I started a while ago about dangerous snakes that you might find helpful. Watch Out For Poisonous Snakes!

I am adding another question to this. Should I wear part wool socks in the summer time to protect my feet from chafing or dampness, or is it better to wear cotton socks?

Actually I am a bit disappointed in the modern Boys life magazine. When I was growing up my brother got this magazine and I read it cover to cover. It was thick and had all types of write in and ask questions and answers, conservation articles and many interesting facts and articles. Today's...
