...loved the story @missyify - great stuff. For the Thunder Box [mini outhouse] we use ceder or pine needles to cover. Frequently I bring a tank deodorizer. It is my custom to clean things down with pinesol - to make it all home like. :)

Some of the other illustrations were a tad gross. I just can't see hanging anything down there other than what is normal. But it just goes to prove a point. Some have more money than brains.

I know this sounds like an April Fool’s Day joke. But rest assured, the Crotch Pot is real and ready to cook your next hiking meal. Dangle this sack down your trousers and heat your next meal. That’s the (gross?) concept behind the Crotch Pot a product so odd we had to ask the company multiple...

The video is much more interesting.

Rare white moose captured on film in Sweden - BBC News www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe.../rare-white-moose-captured-on-film-in-swede...22 hours ago - It's one of just 100 in Sweden. I was so enthralled watching this very majestic creature leisurely making its way out of the water up onto the...

Congratulations again. I'm never sure what that means when it comes to a new addition to the family. But I hope it means blessings and joy! Thank goodness for the inter net. There you will find all kinds of ideas as to changing vehicles into camp wheels. I've toyed with the idea of turning...

...I hadn't thought of cleanliness - the areas that I frequent have always been lush forest growth and water clean. I live near the Grand River and it has a dirty look primarily because of the clay bottom. The river has been rehabilitated and species of wildlife that had been absent are back...

Approaching the site [official photo] The area is relatively calm and the channel isn't terribly deep. Though, on occasion there are some mighty winds that come across the lake. I've experienced them more than once. Most dams are open but many have buoys around them to stop canoes from...

Thanks @killeroy154 While we were there we had a Ministry aircraft buzz our camp site. He came right at us and I thought he was going to shear the top of the trees off. All being equal the next camp is at the end of the month for seven days, a weekend with our scout group the third weekend in...

Two vehicles from two different directions charted their way through the off and on rain to rendezvous at Kennisis Lake Dam. The clouds looked threatening as we packed the canoes but by the time the task was completed the sun burst out assuring us the next three nights and four days would be a...

RED PINE LAKE here we come. Keep the lake smooth, the sun shine bright, the water warm, and the firewood plentiful. :=)

Right on. Unfortunately I've had to learn the hard way BUT, I did learn. Research. I harp on that a lot. I also promote comparisons AND I always tell people, "Never buy any camping equipment that isn't on sale."

...every now and then we need to try something different just to confirm what we like most. :)

-----> I've learned over the years to be picky probably because I'm in a position to shop beyond Walmart and your friendly department store. The other reality is there are a whole lot of outdoor stores competing for the buck. We have options and choices now that we have never had in the past...

Well...here we are. THE BIG THREE :-]

:peeking:This is an instructional Module EVERYONE WILL KNOW my stance on "best" tents. There are none. Best is a subjective term. Over the years I've purchased a lot of tents in various sizes and still have nine in my current inventory. Each one meets certain circumstances or situations. For...

-----> Great statement! "Glamping without the glamour." I didn't know about the scantily clad servants. I missed that part. So...when do we get to see the photos from Wellesley Island (State Park)? You are close to the Trump/Trudeau border. Err...make that United States/Canada border. :)

-----> The trip is scheduled for Monday 7th of August. I'm packed, the canoe is ready, and if the weather holds out it should be a great trip. We changed our location and our menus to spice it up a bit this year. Yep - photos will follow.

...though I do have to say that when my base camp is fully operational I lack absolutely nothing in terms of comfort. I have an excellent tent with military cot and firm mattress. I have heat if necessary and lights generated by solar power. I can listen to soft classical music or watch a DVD...

...sure do @bulldoginajeepwithacolt. When I was at Camp Norval we had a fabulous tree house. The youth waited days to get their chance to sleep in it. True, not as fancy as we talk about but it was adventurous all the same. Nice to see you online. :)
