    My mom made a rope bed for her truck and it's super comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Foods to take that do not require cooking??

    My kids are 4 and under so yeah lol. We're also on the Auto Immune Protocol diet which is more strict than Paleo. Well, I guess we would be more on regular paleo if my youngest 2 weren't allergic to eggs and my littlest is allergic to soy and tree nuts as well. He also has severe eczema with...

    Do you swim in the lake/river/pond when you go camping?

    I don't particularly like lakes or ponds but I'll still get in one if that's all that's available. I have always lived by the beach, though... most of it is technically Chesapeake bay. The James river wasn't bad either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you pre-make any foods before going camping?

    Sometimes, if I have enough warning. We always have plenty of snacks, though. Even at home my kids will be snacking up until mealtimes. The whole spoiled appetite thing doesn't exist for them lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you have to worry about wild bears where you live?

    Lol we go camping in Shenandoah and regularly see bears. We just try to be safe by putting food and stuff away in the car and not leaving the dog out to get eaten. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best stores to buy swim suits?

    Amazon [emoji23]. Actually the one thing I don't like is they get a lot of swimsuits directly from China and sometimes the quality isn't great so if you use amazon for any clothing, I suggest searching for a brand you trust. Like carters for kids, they have some nice suits. Rip curl is one of my...

    Where can I buy infant water floaties?

    Amazon lol. I'm sure I sound like a broken record with amazon but they really do have a ton of stuff. Dicks sporting goods? I got my 1yr old's vest from there... ummm... Bass Pro? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You have three kids and one backpack, what do you take on the trail?

    Snacks, diapers, wipes, extra bags (usually doggie poop bags in case the 4yr old needs to squat), drinks, small first aid kit... we actually have a portable potty chair now that my son is potty training and it fits into one of their small backpacks. My older two (4&2) sometimes carry their own...

    Women: What kind of pants do you wear camping?

    Not jeans lol. I wear calf boots, Merrells. Sorry I only own one pair of (purposely) torn jeans and I hate them in general lol. I can never find ones that fit right and allow enough freedom of movement for chasing toddlers and whatever hiking or activities. The yoga pants with flares I leave at...

    Do you ALWAYS wear a life jacket?

    Usually only on the kayaks. As for regular swimming, they will typically have water wings but they always have an adult. They can get into trouble no matter what they have on, especially where we live (rip currents and what not). Well, at any rate, we try to teach them to have respect for all...

    How do you tell the difference between a weed and a flower?

    A lot of "weeds" are actually useful. For example, common plantain that is good for big bites and other skin irritations. I make an oil infusion out of leaves and put it into a balm... Dandelion, chickweed, and others have uses. Can you post a picture? Weed vs plant is perception imo lol. I...

    Camping in Groups or On Your Own

    We don't do the socialize thing lol. My daughter makes friends everywhere she goes, though... even her teenage half-sister's friends which says something to her level of socialization skills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Things to sit on other than Lawn Chairs?

    We have some of those folding camp chairs but they're mostly active. Squatting, picking up sticks and stuff, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Online stores that have "swimming shoes"?

    Wait I take that back... ZemGear was the one I tried. I don't know about the sole of the "sock" Sockwas... Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Online stores that have "swimming shoes"?

    I wouldn't trust the "sock" style because the soles are not grippy at all. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Keeping food cold while camping?

    I guess I can see that minus the crudeness. My husband was a sailor after all and our relationship was never supposed to go anywhere lol. I've been around groups of male sailors. Definitely huge differences in how they interact with each other vs women. I think I understand what you mean...

    Eyes swelling since last trip

    Well it still hasn't gone away, it just fluctuates. Ophthalmologist was worried about my retina since I'm seeing a black spot but it looked fine. I have to follow up next week. Antihistamines help a little but they're giving me headaches to the point I function better without. I'm trying to...
