I figure most of us serious campers could be classified into one of two groups; nature lover or survivalist. I'm just curious as to how you would identify yourself since what drives us also determines our goals and what we hope to learn from our experiences. As a young girl, the woods is where...

Great information. Thanks for sharing it. I wish he'd shown his pack at the start of his trip, with the weight and how long it would sustain him for. Also, what is meant by drop shipping items to hikers? I'm not familiar with the AT trails or hiking them. I'm a bit of a prepper type so this type...

Thanks for the feedback. Socks for men... why didn't I think to try that? Great idea! My husband has small calves so I never thought to try on any of his. I'm told if I have the surgery to remove some of the varicose veins and such I have an excess of that my calves will trim down. I just...

I love to camp. I'm active. Yet, I am also no tiny little princess. I lost 100lbs following bariatric surgery and found myself wanting to be more active than ever. Trouble is, my calves remain bigger than your average gal, I guess, as I can't seem to find good wool socks that don't cut off my...

Sure we pack our favorite camping foods. We usually pack extra 'just in case'. But how many of you have favorite wild edibles or even just know what you could eat should you need to find food if you were to become stranded longer than expected while camping in the woods? Many species of...

Would be fantastic to see something like this. I wonder if it was photoshopped or if it is genuine footage? Or if perhaps it was a 'toy' flown by remote control. I'm a skeptic so I would lean to thinking it is somehow a fake or scientists would be out there attempting to capture it. No doubt...

I've never went on a canoe trip! That's something I'd love to try one day though it may be tricky to figure out how to load up my horse. ;) I did go kayaking for the first time last summer and had a blast. I still have yet to get in a canoe. That's one for the bucket list. I confess that I'm...

I love to trail ride. I'm blessed to live in an area where there are many trails so I don't have to go far. I pretty much know these trails well enough around here to know which are horse-friendly and which are not, however, these things can change and I'm not confident enough to take new trails...

My husband and I go trail riding often. We own six horses and a burro. We have our senior citizen horses who are close to being retired and each have a young horse we are training. Mine is a BLM mustang (my burro is BLM as well). We are blessed to live on a gravel road surrounded by hundreds of...

Hello fellow campers! My name is Janet. I'm a 46 year old grandma of six married to a man eight years my senior. We are both lovers of the great outdoors. I am Native American, of Blackfoot and Iroquois ancestry. My screen name, Onatah, means 'Daughter of the Earth'. My husband and I are blessed...

I love camping. Especially when I go somewhere I can take my horses along.
