    Favorite Camping Gear

    Hotdogs are wonderful! :) My little boy also loves grilled hotdog on a stick. What I also like about them is that they're easy to prepare and they cook fast in direct fire. My son also loves to cook his own hotdog on a campfire. I always have to make sure though that his stick is longer than...

    Creating Fire Using the Old Technique

    Hi guys! :) Well, it has been taught during scouting activities and in most nature trips I have joined in but of course when we go camping, we usually use fire starters in creating fire for our cooking and heating. I have tried starting a fire using the old technique of creating friction...

    Favorite Camping Gear

    It's kinda hard to choose which gear I should consider as my favorite because I think I love them all. Lol! Anyway, being the mom in our group I consider my portable stove as my favorite because I love cooking on the site while my two boys enjoy bonding together with nature. Fire starters are...

    Camping In Groups

    Oh, I get that a lot too, especially from my own parents. :rolleyes: It could be so annoying especially because you know your kids more than other people do so you're the one who knows their strengths and flaws very well. Some people just don't know how to back down when it comes to disciplining...

    Big Savings on Camping Gear

    Thank you for the suggestion @happyflowerlady. :) I can see that you are really enjoying a lot of discounts through your Amazon reviews. I'm going to try and see my luck soon. The $20 deal you got on your fishing poles are really great deals considering the original selling price. It is truly a...

    Packing Light

    @missyify I also learned that rolling up clothes can save up a lot of space when packing. This gives more room for other stuff such as toiletries and other gadgets needed for the outdoors. Ever since I learned about it from a video I've watched, it has also been my technique in packing up...

    Packing Light

    Hello everyone! :) Whenever my family and would go camping, I am usually in charge of all the packing and stuff. I pack for 3 people and I usually try to anticipate what kind and how many numbers of clothing we would need for every activity we plan on doing. I only pack what are needed and add...

    Educational Camping and Nature Trips

    Such wonderful and very educational posts you guys have there @missyify and @2sweed. I actually copied your posts and saved them on word because I want to read them over and over until I am able to absorb them. :) I remember a question that my son keeps on asking me especially when we are...

    Heading Out

    @missyify I'm really glad you all had fun out there. These are the kinds of moments that are just so precious for a family especially while the kids are still small and active with these kinds of activities. I'm really amazed at how energetic and brave your little ones are when it comes to...

    What do you prefer?

    @missyify I'm really sorry to hear about your son's withdrawal condition. I know how hard it is for a mom like you to see your child in any uncomfortable situation. Good thing there are fabrics made especially for eczema prone skin, although they might be hard to find. I'm glad to see and hear...

    They are all so lucky to have you with them then. :) Rarely do we see people like you who does all the work without complaining nowadays. In my case, I do all the work too when it comes to chores within the family but I get lucky when we go out camping with other people because There would...

    Educational Camping and Nature Trips

    As a parent, it is my aim to always include some sort of education or learning opportunity with every activity that I make with my child. Whenever we go camping or hiking, I couldn't help but put on a little lecture here and there with my 6-year-old son, especially when he asks about the things...

    Big Savings on Camping Gear

    Thanks for that tip @camping! :) I'm actually from Asia but I have never tried looking into camping gears from China yet. I think I might as well try looking into them soon. I usually buy my stuff from local stores and they could really get much more expensive because most of them are also...

    Heading Out

    Those are really beautiful pictures there. Seems like you all enjoyed your trip, especially the children. I'm also amazed that you were also able to bring some bikes and kayaks with you, which I'm guessing would have made your adventure even more thrilling. Thank you for sharing all those...

    What do you prefer?

    That's too bad. Eczema could be really uncomfortable especially for children. As a mother myself, I really feel sorry that your youngest son suffers from it. I also heard that bamboo clothes are indeed the perfect type of clothing for people suffering from eczema. There's the natural cotton and...

    Camping In Groups

    @missyify I can totally relate with you because I too would usually be the one tidying up things whenever my family has outdoor activities such as camping or just simply going out on a picnic. I only have one child though so watching over him is not a problem because I have a lot of people with...

    Wow! :) This is indeed a great way to save big on camping equipment and other stuff. I still haven't checked out the site yet whether the reviews are also available for my area but there's a high likelihood that they aren't. I'm still going to check it out though, hoping I could qualify. Thank...

    Should You Worry About The Zika Virus

    There was a time that I also worried about the virus spreading out here in my area but luckily, it never did. I think that the Aedes Aegypti is a very lethal mosquito specie because it has the ability to carry viruses or diseases with it. We don't have Zika virus here in the Philippines but our...

    Self-Made Fishing Spear?

    Here in my area, bamboos are basically everywhere especially if one is camping or hiking near the wilderness. This is what some people use as their makeshift spear when they have no regular spears to use. They use a tool called "bolo", which is similar to a machete in cutting big bamboos then...

    Camping In Groups

    Hi guys! :) My family and I usually go with a group whenever we go camping, especially if the place where we plan to camp into is really far. We sometimes go with our friends and their families or with our family relatives. Aside from the safety we get in numbers, we also find it more enjoyable...
