Gracer, I am glad you found the forum and I enjoy reading your posts. A little humor and lots of adventures help keep us all waiting to hear more. Look forward to talking with you in the many topic's. :wacky::cool:

We went weeks with no rain and hot dry weather. Now we are having severe thunder showers everyday with lightening, w/two houses hit earlier.

@missyify, I would suggest taking a couple extra tarps. One for under the tent to help keep floor dry and one to drape over or hang above your tent to provide extra rain protection, for next time. Even if you bring everything but the kitchen sink something might go wrong. I remember camping with...

Now after reading all your posts I was just thinking on this subject and have to say on occasion I have eaten insects. The time or two was when I was in the middle of a recipe and lol and behold, my flour was buggy. Now since I lived in the country and the nearest store was 15+ miles away and...

When I go to our cabin in the woods I plan to take a little and end up with more clothes than I need. Never knowing if the weather is going to be hot or cold and damp, so I go prepared, with a bit of both worlds. Recently, I decided when going to visit friends I would only take a change of...

Best Instant Tent. One that stays put and does not blow away or collapse, or leak in a rainstorm. :)

@gracer, I think your idea of extending the teaching of your children in outdoor setting is a wonderful idea. Just the fact of learning about the creatures of the forest and also learning the different trees and plants, will help your children learn how we must be gentle with mother earth...

Has the recent violence of shootings and all out brawls made you a bit worried about going off on a camping trip or visiting a national park or museum or events? While in our area these things are not a concern as yet, but it still makes one think about the what-ifs and how to keep your family...

Naturally they were worried about mosquito bites. Another friend who goes to Haiti on a regular basis said to take Vitamin...

Happy that you got another dog. Good looking and should be head strong (husky) and very smart (Lab). lol Hope you get him trained enough to go camping.

Another bear story cute and scary.

This is one of those don't try this yourself stories. The man in the video raised this bear from a cub and thus formed a rare and wonderful bond with him. He tells the story simply the way it happened, but also gives valuable information about the ways of grizzlies showing it by charts and...

This whole breastfeeding in public thing has just gotten out of control!

I think I should have named this just "Mama's and their Baby's" I could not resist sharing this with you all.

More bears in people's yards this Spring.

When traffic gets to heavy mama bear gets smart to protect her cubs.

Most important things to me are having a fire starter, dry shelter and food and water. Plus using plain old common sense.

Now if you live in the south mainly Florida, you might have much bigger worries with mosquito's like this.

I hope this shows up and am testing the link. However, should it fail I will give a explanation of what to do when you lose your paddles. This two young men managed to use their quick wit and strength to easily get back to the shoreline.
