For some reason the link says that I do not have permision to view it; and it is too small to read. When I stretch it on the ipad, then it comes up larger; but to blurry to really read. I did get the part about you "fall off of the horse" though, just not all of the rest of it. Probably just...

My daughter has one of those Goal Zero setups, too. she often goes out exploring in the woods on the arsenal, and uses the powerpac to keep her gadgets running. She also takes it along when she is in the car and needs an extra power pack for something. As for the little headlamps, those are...

Outside in my yard, I have solar powered colored lanterns. I have pink ones and blue ones. They are round when they are open; but then you take them down or move them, they just fold up into a flat disk. They would actually be easy to carry along because they fold up so flat, but they do not put...

It sounds like Reese has learned a lot of commands, and knows what you want him to do. I have a book called "Talking With Horses". It is an older book, written by a man who lived in England and had horses back around the time of the second world war. He discovered that some horses were actually...

When I lived in Missouri, and I was out fishing for catfish, sometimes I would get a snapping turtle on the line, too. Catfish will eat almost any bait, the smellier the better, and I think the turtles have the same mindset. The turtle will just lay on the bottom usually and you drag it in to...

Actually, I was talking about apps like you would have on an iPad or smartphone. The article I linked mentioned some of the most popular ones. It seems like there are some very helpful apps for tablets, so it is not surprising that they would also have some for campers.

I had no idea that there even was such a thing as a camping app; but apparently there are. It looks like they could be very helpful if you were going camping at a regular campground, or even if you were going on vacation and planning on staying at campgrounds along the way. Years ago, I had a...

How is Reese doing ? It looked like you took his avatar off of your posts, and I am now worrying that Reese has died ? I know you said that he was not doing well this year; but hoping that he is still doing okay.

Snake bites are not any fun at all, and this guy must have either been very susceptible to the venom, or he was bitten in an area where the venom could get right into his bloodstream and kill him. When I was bitten by the copperhead (about 15 years ago); it was on the ankle, and I was able to...

Somehow the notion of Apple running their Mac's on a Poodle OS just does not seem to me like it would have the same effect as the Mountain Lion OS does, @campforums . Maybe Werewolf OS would have a better sound to it , what do you think?

This is a super easy way to shuck the corn off the cob, and you do not even get any cornsilk left on the corn when you do it this easy way. The instructions are for RV campers who would have a microwave in their camper; but the idea should work just as well for corn cooked in a barbeque, or the...

Maybe there really IS a Hollow Earth? This magnificent hidden forest/jungle complete with rivers, beaches, and all the greenery you could ever want is deep inside an 87 mile long cave in the Vietnamese mountains. A river has worked its way under a mountain, carving skylights and valleys as it...

Flying squirrels are totally amazing ! ! I have heard of them before, but I am pretty sure that we don't have any of them around this area. I found this amazing video of one, and it is totally awesome what this little squirrel is capable of, and he just makes it look so easy. If you have...

This is an actual recording of a lady that called in to an early morning radio talk show, to express her concerns about the danger of deer crossing the roads and especially the freeway where traffic is heavier and faster. She relates how she herself has been involved in accidents with deer, and...

I think that taking your camera along is always a good idea. It doesn't take up a lot of room, at least it doesn't unless you have a really nice and fancy one. Then, you probably need not only a good quality camera bag; but also whatever accessories you use with the camera. But for my...

I used to always take my camera along when we went camping with the kids. Back then, we had to have film in the camera, and be careful not to get any light into it, and not let it get wet, or even close to water. Now, I have my iPhone, it has what is called a "Lifeproof" case that will protect...

There will be about 45 asteroids coming past the earth this month, another 25 due in February, and 15 in March. We just went through a meteor shower earlier in January, but this is different from that. These are the kind that hit Russia a year or so ago. The largest one, which is due to zoom by...

We do have hunters that hunt for the sport of it, just like we have fishermen that do the same thing; and at least the fishermen can release the fish back into the water essentially unharmed; whereas the hunter is going to kill what ever he is hunting, given the chance. I do think that most...

I was always taught to build a campfire in the conventional manner. We made kind of a little tee-pee with the tinder on the bottom in the center, and then larger twigs stacked up around it like a tee-pee, and then the largest pieces of wood leaning against it from the outside. Sometimes, we did...
