Now comes the challenging part. To reach out to KOA customers, and other camping business customers, so they can be introduced to, then communicate via, Camping Babble.

No apologies necessary. Google Trends and the KOA Report are two different types of measurements. Google would have us believe that they are the "be all / end all", which helps them with gaining more popularity, thereafter advertisers. The recreation industry began and prospered way before...

On the other hand, we have less chance of the sites being overcrowded. I'm puzzled now on why the KOA Watkins Glen NY added sites. Financiers don't usually provide funds if the trends are not in their favor. A business plan would have been submitted to reveal the data to protect their...

Yep, I see the theme. Do you collect traffic data from competitive sites for a comparison? I have no formal empirical data, so I'm guessing that Camping Babble may be experiencing the wrath of more competition. The quantity of similar sites may have increased substantially since 2005. I see...

Oh yeah! Camping! Keep sending me reminders :-)

Hey, I warned my wife about the dangers of men multitasking, but would she listen? Nooo! The results of coming out of my nothing box too many times :-)

You must be tougher looking, and larger than him, because he usually doesn't tremble or fear anyone. Do you have a brother named Michael the Archangel?

Hey! You found my long lost uncle. Where does he live so I can visit him?

Grace and mercy will help to smoothed out those inevitable bumps in life. We can even laugh at those moments once in a while. Good to be on a forum that is lighthearted and like minded, rather than on a forum that is intense and combative. Kind of makes one come back!

You are correct. Popularity has contributed to increased prices (learned this in Microeconomics). Send me the coordinates of your mountain top so I can camp at mid-slope (joke). Hey, think of it as a personal way of stimulating the economy :-)

I just watched the video on the 710. I'm impressed! Read that it was discontinued :-(

Hey! Half empty or half full, the choice is ours. :-)

Thank you Madman4800! You're on target. The first impression has been positive and posts are going strong. Good to know that well seasoned people like us (gray hair ones or head hair minimalists) can chew the fat (digitally speaking of course) miles away. Plus, I think most of us have no need to...

REI?! Here I come tonight :-)

Niiice! It's even color coordinated, wow! The loop helps if your hand is wider than the handle, plus prevents the sharpy thing from becoming a projectile, whose owner can guard against the puncturing of body parts on self or others.

Oooh yeah! The thing-a-ma-gig, do-hicky, whatch-ya-call-it! Lost mine years ago :-)

You just listed the reason why I frequently go back to reading the book by Horace Kephart: "The Book of Camping & Woodcraft" (keeps me grounded - no pun intended - and real). We have to admit one thing. Marketing is a powerful industry. I'm content with my fixed income because it curtails the...

Perfect! I too am a believer in using one tool for multiple applications, so it is good to read that the BG knife allows for several tasks. Plus, I'm going to borrow your idea about the glow tab, especially if I need to reach for the knife immediately at night while in my hammock or tent...

A little "over then under" is working for me so far - I've had this type come undone at some point in the past with other gear.

I agree!
