Throughout the day, I notice I come across a ton of wasps, and mosquitos (at night too), and dragonflies if I am near the lake. If it is night time, we usually have a small fire going and it attracts lots of mosquitos and june bugs!! Most annoying thing ever!

So far, every time I have been camping, I come across snakes! I love camping and would never give it up, though I can definitely live without seeing the snakes. When I see one, there is usually a few others around it and I tend to flip out a little bit as I am afraid of them!

Yes, I would totally do this! Sounds fun to me, I would want to find out why it is haunted. I would of course bring someone with me though, maybe a friend, hubby and a family member. I think it would be a good, potentially frightening experience.

As a homeschooling parent, we do use camping as being educational. You can study the different animals and insects you see and write about them. Thats what we did for snakes, leeches and fish.

Wow, This is something that I never would have guessed. Though, this is good information to know, for those "just in case" moments. Blows my mind.

I did not know making a spear was a "thing". That being said, I have never made one myself. I have only ever seen such a thing on older movies and it seemed to work well.

We have made protein bars very similar to this.I would highly recommend them! When we would go camping I always had a batch made and we would eat one at breakfast and be full all day until we made it back to the camp ground to eat dinner. Super healthy for you too!

We used to eat so many smores as kids! We always do the typical graham cracker, chocolate bar, hot marshmallow topped with another graham cracker. I dont think we have made them any other way. I cant eat too many as an adult though, they are quite sweet.

Definitely less. I tend to eat out of boredom at times. If I am busy and active or camping, I do not get bored, meaning I don't eat, except maybe once a day before I go to sleep. As bad as it sounds, I am go-go-go all day while camping.

We are having to make this decision, unfortunately, we can only pick one! Would you choose to purchase a canoe,kayak or a boat of some kind? Why?

I have also been wondering this, but since I do not own a smoker or dehydrator it makes it difficult to try recipes. Did you end up trying that recipe? How did it turn out?

We have wild blackberries all over the place here where I live. It's so easy to find them and they are SO good, yet they stain our fingers and clothes! lol Fun little "hunt" to go on with the kids though.

It's ideal to have a food dehydrator, but we have made tons of dried fruits with just our basic old oven at home. We especially do this with sliced strawberries, sliced banana, and even pineapples. All you do is thinly (not too thinly) slice the fruits (or veggies) you are wanting, spread them...

We have made this before, on a typical morning, lounging at home and my kids TORE THEM UP! I don't see why you couldn't make then while camping, sounds rather easy even, besides the cleanup afterwards. I find that breakfast food are the easiest to cook while camping. This is a great recipe! We...

I have three toddlers, so we are always prepared in the snack department. We like to do smores, pringles, goldfish crackers, tortilla chips and salsa, sometimes even queso dip, corn chips and bean dip, we prepare dry salad ingredients and put them in a ziploc, we bring a jar of peanut butter...

Great recipe to share! You would be surprised how many people dont pre-make meals before they do camping. I use to be one of those people, campfire hot dogs every time! lol The foil also helps it cook evenly before you eat it, only to find out the middle is freezing still.

Eh, this question can get technical. Honestly, theres not too much you can do to prevent it, except use mosquito repellent, just like you would do in any case. I think as long as you are using the repellent and try do prevent mosquitos biting you at all, then theres not much to worry about. We...

If it is hot outside, I tend to wear lose clothes. I find that it helps circulate the air a bit and doesnt keep the hot air between my body and my clothes. If it is cooler outside, I will wear tight clothes, as it helps trap any heat my body produces and makes me less cold! lol Im not sure how...

This solel depends on the weather while camping, and your personal preference. If it is cold, or a chilly temp, black or other dark colors are ideal as they will trap in any heat. If it is sweltering hot like it has been, I would suggest wearing white. It will do the opposite and actually...

Honestly, if they are camping, then its not considering "inappropriately dressed" unless they are naked. They are there to have fun, why should they have to keep layers of clothes on and be miserably hot, just so people don't see them as a sexual object. I know tons of women who wear bikinis 90%...
