That does sound like an interesting way to make bacon and eggs while camping. We never took along anything like a muffin pan, and we would use an old cast orin skillet for everything we cooked over the campfire. My mother used to make fresh pancakes, bacon , and fried eggs in the bacon grease...

Looking back over my own life, some of the best memories that I have are from when I was a child, and we went camping almost every weekend in the summer months. My mother would fry up some chicken, make potato salad, and put together a cooler full of the rest of the things we needed to take...

I can certainly see why it would not be good to eat snow that is close to a roadway; but if you are out camping, or even just somewhere that is not close to a road, then I think that eating snow is fine. Snow is actually a very pure form of distilled water, since it has evaporated into the air...

I was not home-schooled; nor my children; but even so, I do consider that camping, and similar related activities are absolutely educational for children. there is just so much that you. Can learn, and teach your children about nature when you are out camping, as well as practical experience...

We go to the fitness center here every other day, and I love swimming there. I am still surprised how many people just can't swim, even in the swimming pool, which is much easier than trying to swim in a lake where the bottom drops off, or in a fast-moving current in the river. We have those...

We have some venomous snakes in this area, too; but so far we have not seen any when we were out at the river fishing or swimming. I remember some lakes in Idaho where you had to watch out for leeches, which are ugly (and scary when you are just a little kid ), but they do not really do any...

If you have an Amazon website that you can order from, then you can probably also find a review site that would work for you. My husband's brother works in the Netherlands, and he uses amazon.de for his orders; and I did notice that some of the reviewer sites also have the list of Amazon...

Are you going to be selling products from the forum, or just asking people to write a review about items they have purchased else where, or even from Amazon specifically? I think that this is a great plan and I am looking forward to hearing more about it. While we don't exactly have reviews on...

The one that I like the very best (and also where I found the fishing rod) is called AMZ Review Trader. How it works, is that the sellers need reviews for their products, and they list them with websites like the AMZ Trader one. Each item only comes with so many coupon codes; so you can't just...

I have discovered something that I just love, and want to share it with everyone. I am not sure if other countries can use this or not; but it is good for the United States, and probably Canada as well. We have Amazon Prime, and order a lot of items from Amazon, and I recently learned about...

We have one of those, too ! It is handy for when the little pests come right in the front door and attack me here in my recliner. It would be good for taking along on camping trips, and the batteries seem to last a long time. We got ours at Harbor Freight Tools, on one of their discount sales...

When we went to the lake for camping and fishing, we usually took along regular potato chips. Those are not my favorite snacks, but with enough ketchup, they are fine. Actually, with enough ketchup, almost anything is fine. Just kidding..... One thing that I always take along for a snack is...

Back when I was growing up, and we used to go camping and fishing almost every weekend in the summer months; we didn't always have the mosquito repellant along, and we had to just fend them off as well as possible. I remember trying to hide in my sleeping bag at night with the top pulled...

My mother always said that eating sugary foods attracted mosquitoes, and she said that brewers yeast tablet would repel them, because it made you smell bad to the mosquitoes. Perhaps the garlic does the same thing. I read that mosquitoes do not like the smell of mint, and I planted some all...

The lake looks beautiful, and inviting. Can you swim there, too? I love swimming! Since I grew up in northern Idaho and along the shores of Lake Pend O'reille, we always swam in the lake. There was a beautiful sandy beach, and the water was pretty clear. Sometimes, my friends and I would ride...

My personal experience with the husky-type breeds is that they are not as responsive to training a some of the other breeds. Personally, I have found Poodles to be very intelligent and willing to at least try to do the things you are asking them, and i would think that a Goldendoodle would make...

I am also glad to see that you have found another camping and canoeing companion, Northern Dancer. He is a beautiful dog,, and hopefully, he will also be trainable so that he can go in the canoe with you like Reese did. I have never heard of that particular cross before, although there are...

Well, okay, that IS pretty ingenious of them. I wonder how they managed to both lose their paddles at the same time when they were out in the river ? That part was not very good thinking. I don't know if just one person would be able to "jump the boat" along like these two guys did or not, but...

Yipes ! I will certainly watch out for that species of mosqui-gator, @2sweed ! I did plant some mint around the front porch since mint is supposed to smell offensive to mosquitoes; so maybe it will keep those wicked-looking skeeters away, too. Those look like they might be a...

Here is some interesting information about that particular species of mosquito. This article is a few years old now; but it explains how they have genetically modified the Aedes aegypt mosquito. The stated plan was that it would help to stop the spread of the mosquitoes by making them breed...
