Wow, that sounds like it would've been awesome. While I would like to experience that, I'm envisioning a stampede of 5 children trying to scramble to the van for "safety". My daughter had a conversation with an owl on our last trip and my step son was not ok with that lol. I should've...

Nice that's what I'm going to teach my kids. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

I have a rainbow pocket knife that's also a bottle opener and it does most of what I need it to do. I thought it was safe because... Ya know... It's rainbow colored. Turns out it's also the sharpest knife so everyone kept using it and now I can't find it. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

I drink dandelion tea... Not from the yard but I've learned a lot about medicinal plants and foraging because of my son's eczema. As a matter of fact I have a common plantain oil infusion in progress on my windowsill. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

That's really cool. When the weather cools off a bit, I want to get the kids out learning to make a shelter. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

That's a whole lotta nope from me... I'm having Wrath of Khan bad special effects flashbacks. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

Well that's interesting lol. I've never heard of anyone doing that, but if everyone is happy, why not? My dog is a complete mama's boy. I'm not the one that feeds him and my mom even had him for a year (he had a really bad skin condition in Hawaii we thought might be environmental). He might...

I want to live in a yurt... So... Permanent glamping? Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

You can even make a "tea bag" of sorts with a coffee filter! I was trying to find where they sell "the sock". @killeroy154 I don't think the seeds would work for that [emoji23] Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

That reminds me of Hawaii except the rainy season wasn't even that bad- at least on Oahu. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

That's hilarious lol. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

I dunno if this is just a Puerto Rican thing... They call it "the sock". I'm using it to make hemp milk, but it's normally used to make coffee. A bit of wire and what seems like flannel fabric sewn into a bag. It's down in that green bottle. You just put your loose coffee then pour boiling...

If you can get a dehydrator, you can probably make your own jerky and dried fruit according to your son's tastes. I hide jerky, too. I buy some for them and some for my husband and me. I can't even buy spicy to keep them away. My sons will dip their food in the sriracha on my plate. My...

I'm not horribly worried about space at this point but we do want to start backpacking one day. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

Ok lol. I try to hide mine just for my husband and myself because I have the opposite problem. My kids are like locusts... They will eat large quantities of anything. Plus kids don't really need energy bars. You could probably find a recipe for something a little more kid friendly to make at...

Yeah we had one that we used twice. When my husband unpacked it to inflate it, it was covered in mold so he told my stepdaughter to throw it away. A cot would mean no hassles with inflating, reinflating, holes, etc. I was also thinking that I could just use sheets in warmer weather... Sent...

They're woven. They look similar to the multicolored one in the OP. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

Nah they just sell it at REI lol. I use the word camping loosely. If I had one of the actual camping hammocks, no one would ever see me again lol. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

Exactly. There are only a few I can actually buy at the store (since I'm breastfeeding my son with the majority of the allergies). I used to like Macro Bars since they had some sesame butter options, but I realized they still make me crash later if I don't follow up with more protein. Sent...

Yeah, I'm leaning toward something not inflatable. Definitely the bunks for the kids, which will also save on space. I think cots and a few sheets would've done better for us last trip lol. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk
