My son is a "Zombie Hunter" aficionado. I will ask him the best way to keep Zombies from my camp. :) As far as bears and raccoons go it's almost impossible when they are hungry but they don't like bad smells. I don't recommend going camping without bathing, as that is just gross, but do pack...

When you wake up and the temperature inside and outside your tent is below your comfort level what do you use for heat? I have always found getting out of my sleeping bag a challenge when I have frost on my nose. I have though of cheating and getting myself a Mr. Heater. I especially like the...

I love the quilt. You don't know how often I have been quilting inside of a tent because the weather wasn't quite right for exploring but I had material and a needle and a great idea for a quilt. The book is great too but maybe too predicable. I thought of a big red cooler last night. (I love...

All evening I will be thinking of the design I want. Thanks Northern Dancer :). Did you buy one? what did you choose? Not the cheese I hope the mouse is too silly and kind of disturbing. I think I would want a tree graphic but then again I just learned this is possible so maybe I'll change my...

I'm like you I couldn't throw it out either. Is it possible that you can camouflage the damage? I have used fabric paint and watered down latex with some success. Cover your floor with tons of old newspapers, lie the tent out with the stained area exposed and then have at it. You don't have to...

I enjoy cooking over an open fire so I pack well and eat well. Something about being in the fresh air all day and moving around makes me feel as if I am hungry too. I try not to pack anything that would be considered junk food because I can eat junk food any time (even at my desk :) ) Learning...

One of the things that may sound odd but I do every time I go camping is to raid the hamper for dirty socks. Yes, dirty socks are one of my camping essentials because raccoons and other food stealing animals don't like the smell of dirty socks. We humans don't have the sweetest smelling sweat...

Thank you for the tip on catching up with 2sweed. I'm still going to look for you too though. :) It's always fun to meet people in my area who love to camp. We have a few campsites closeby but in the summer they become more like mobile home parks for the people from the surrounding cities. Just...

I don't leave the house without my camera. Its the lens that I see a lot of my camping trips through. I have a wonderful collection of photographs that make me smile in memory of the times I saw those particular things in person. My décor is mostly Niagara Falls photographs but I do catch...

I am a fifty two year old female with very limited mechanical skills, so, the most important thing to me is ease-of-use but there are a lot of reasons for choosing one piece of equipment over another. For instance; how important is price to you?, manufacturer reputation?, guarantee? Most of us...

I'm currently living just 35 miles away from Lake Erie in a valley town named Meadville. The change of seasons is beautiful but around here the falling leaves are a sure warning sign of "Lake Effect Snow" on its way. Any winter campers? :)
