    What is your Totem

    Either a queen bee because I have a crazy ability to produce babies (sorry lol). Also my name is related to bee nymphs. My husband calls me honey bee. However, I've been relating to wolves lately. Mainly the traits that I'm loyal, I kind of stick to/enjoy just being around family (my family...

    Best Instant Tent?

    That is what my mom normally brings and, yes, the frame is really useful. We usually string lights, bungee cord paper towels and other stuff. My husband is always happy about the paper towels my mom brings because I refuse to pack them and most other disposable items. Probably one of his...

    Best Instant Tent?

    Sounds like something my husband would say, but kinda nice not to share food with our little six-legged, winged friends. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Portable Camping Cooking Bag...

    Neat that might be a good backup plan for me to try. I made handwarmers with rice for my husband to use at work. Then 5 of his coworkers wanted them too. They'd heat them up in the microwave before going outside. I wonder if I can find a way to heat them while camping without possibly...

    That's a neat setup... I'm sorry for your loss. That's so sad... Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Recent Violence Uprisings

    I'm not really worried about that... I will read up; "never say never". I know it's good to be prepared but if I worried about it, I'd never leave my house lol. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    First Look at Upcoming 2017 Camping Gear

    Out of that list, probably the Yakima roof top tent. My van is 7' tall and pretty large & boxy. I'd probably have room for a picnic area, too lol. Also the cooling shirt because thanks to cooling towels, a person notorious for passing out in the heat like me, can enjoy being outside more...

    Hello from Virginia!

    I for one was amazed by how I was faster than my mom today. My mom has always been more athletic and outdoorsy than me, until I had kids. Now I've gone off the deep end, but almost anything outdoors is better for kids. Finally got around to fishing today, but definitely need to get better...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    I'll definitely end up getting the little tent. I think I'm gonna brainstorm jobs for everyone and let them at the small tent to see if they can figure it out. My daughter has been counting down the days since last month. I also found a rocket stove that fits in my purse today. I tested it...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    That's good to know. I don't really use the griddle at home anymore. Yeah both of my boys are allergic to dairy and eggs. Then my littlest guy is also allergic to soy, tree nuts, and peanuts as well. We loved eggs too but we all adhere to the same restrictions because the boys are too little...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    I do if I'm stuck inside the house with them ha. That's why my living room looks like a jungle gym for when they can't be outside ie severe weather. They have rain suits so they're still outside if it's raining. The great outdoors makes all the difference, especially when they're still young...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    Which is what makes me think the suggestion buying a small cheap tent for them to set up on their own will help with our tent dilemma lol... They just want to feel like they're helping with the task at hand, which is why my 2yr old proudly gathers his little sticks for the fire. Sent from my...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    Yeah my bio kids are fine except the baby of course. I don't know about my stepkids since we've never taken them camping and I'm not sure if they've actually ever been camping. My 4yr old helps, my 2yr old knows to stay back and has his own job collecting sticks; they know the routine. Shoot...

    I'm sure the camp fire is probably more dangerous with kids running around. I think the source of my anxiety is that it doesn't look like it's on lol. You're right though as long as someone's monitoring it, it shouldn't be an issue. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    Ahh yes my mom has one of those. It makes me a little nervous but maybe worth my anxiety since the cans can be recycled. Definitely much more portable.

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    Also backpacking won't really be an option until they're a little older... And hopefully they either outgrow their allergies (unlikely at this point but still a possibility) or more portable options become available. The market is coming around... Recently found some safe jerky, macro bars...

    Everything But The Kitchen Sink

    I've seen some similar to that at the store which is what I was mulling around in my head vs the fancy Biolite... That might really be the best option. I rarely use more than 2 burners at home. I have to be simple and efficient or else I'll never get the chance to eat. Though it was kinda nice...
