Better than these?

...the Mountain Pine Beetle effects pines and the invasive Emerald Ash borer does a job on other species. We just never know where Camping Babble threads will lead us. Let's take the other foot bridge and back to camp.

...lots of interesting posts - hope you will add to them. WELCOME!

Welcome to Camping Babble - have fun posting and sharing your experiences. : - ]

There is a ban on taking your own firewood in this neck of the woods. However, there is an abundance of wood supply and a lot of dead trees and branches close by. The creek was our water supply, a bit safer than the Eramosa. I didn't take any water from the spring - not sure why. I'll be...

Three nights out in bitter cold. In spite of that, the *terrain was inviting and the experience invigorating. The only thing heard at night was the crackling of the stove in my Alaknak and cracking tree limbs in the frigid moonlight. Across the bridge... Over the creek... Past a...

Experience goes a long way to prompt ideas for enjoyable camping. The video has some really great suggestions and I use a good number of them. I was observing a colleague purchasing a substance to easily start his campfire. I just use cotton balls smeared with petroleum jelly inside cut off...

The temperatures have been low of recent date, more than usual. We do have our problems. One street over a water main broke and the crews were on the scene to manage the situation. Special attention is given to citizens when a COLD WEATHER ALERT is issued. These means we pay attention to our...

I was listening in to Canoe FM Haliburton - the place that I canoe in the summer. They are experiencing - 32 C. [- 25.6 American] It reminded me of my home town Thunder Bay. Those temperatures would be normal around this time of year through to the third week in February. :dead:

One of the best camping years I've had - and I'm smart enough and thankful enough to know that. And this year? HAVE A GOOD YEAR... Whatever that might mean to you. Let's do it all in 2018

I like to think that I'm a bit of a green horn when it comes to camping because there are always new experiences and opportunities to embrace outdoor life in all its many features. It seems to me every day brings new gizmos and gadgets and possibilities; new challenges and quests that capture...

Welcome to Camping Babble!

I am...of course. Got the new stove in August and tested early October to get a sense of how it might perform. In two weeks I test even more so. At the moment temperatures have plummeted and we have had a good dose of snow. Cold and Snowy - that's what winter camping is all about...

Welcome to Camping Babble - always room for another Babbler :-]

Welcome!

...it's magical in our neck of the woods today. The snow is gently falling and the trees are all white. I remember a few years ago when I was out and we had a snow fall followed by a mist that made everything white. When the sun came out everything glistened. What the back of my camp...

I'll forget about the saw for a few minutes and feast my eyes on that apple pie! Sure looks mighty good and I bet it is as tasty as it looks. I can just smell the aroma of that home baked pie that I know would satisfy my every taste bud. And ice cream too... What were we talking about...

I know what it is like to have equipment die; from flashlights, to tents to a variety of other stuff. But I look on the bright side. I can replace it with the newest technology and carry on! So...what's in the budget for 2018? The only thing I have listed at the moment is a camp saw. I've...

Welcome to Camping Babble - jump in and have fun. :-}

...for me it's fun, the pursuit of the life style, the comradeship, and especially the peace and quiet. Nothing like lying down on a grassy knoll and looking up into a starring sky all the while listening to the crackling of a warm campfire. When it's all over taking yourself and wrapping self...
