Everyone is entitled to their individual opinions, and they go both ways and even sometimes ricochet when guns are the hot topic. Personally, I carry a firearm all the time, and not just when camping. You could call it an occupational hazard. For those worried over bears, that insist on...

Thanks, and like you I would really like to get a canoe too. Then start out with some daytrips and work up to some longer excursions. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Have Jeep, will travel. I have owned two Jeep Wranglers, the current one since 1998. I purchased the first one because of a few things, i thought it was cool, it was a convertible, reminded me of MacGyver and I could afford it. Helped that I lived /worked at the beach too! Second Jeep was...

Probably not, and it will serve as a constant remjnder of what not to do with an axe until I 'repair" it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'm going to have to resort to the grinder for that repair or end up sharpening it a little longer than Honest Abe. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Thanks, and glad to be here. We try to mix it up with the where, the when, the who, and, the what do we do - when we go camping. My niece and especially my nephew aren't up for long hikes just yet, but working on them slowly. The kitchen shelter is a pop-up type thingamajig that is made...

Hatchets are good, however I believe a small forest axe to be better suited for me. This is my camp axe for splitting firewood and Jeep axe for whatever... Had to use it last to clear some deadfall from the trail. As you can see, I'll be spending at least 4 hours sharpening this one after an...

Please read the story of Micheal Allen Silva, a drifter who traversed the backwoods of the continental United States, up through Canada and ending his travels in Alaska. He came along some villagers and other remote backwoods campers along his way. His journey left a lasting impact on those...

My original intention was only to buy a pair of used white gas lanterns from a seller on Craigslist, to light up the night when the power went out. I ended up with several more and some white gas stoves as well. All this "new to me equipment" lead me down the path to explore camping once...

The Edge and Cliffhanger are pretty decent Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Maryland Assateague State Park , Berlin Maryland This state park is bordered by the Assateague Island National Seashore and permits camping at designated sites although not directly on the beach they are extremely close to the ocean. This park is know for a large herd of feral horses that...

Delaware Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, Delaware is also on the beach. Designated campsites are amongst pine trees and such and away from the beach but offer the usual campsite and RV site amenities. There are bike and hiking trails throughout the park that take you to the several beach...

I believe the best weapon is the one that you have been trained on, practice continually with and of course actually have on your person with you at that appropriate time of need. Whether it be blade, gun or fist to cuffs... Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I play a small cheap Radio Shack a.m. radio (not too loudly) in my all closed up tent while I'm gone. Never had any thefts, even before I started the radio trick, but who knows?!?! Friend of mine places a deer camera near his site after all his beer and booze was raided from his campsite a...

Not a big fan of crowds or traffic jams, but deal with them regardless. If in unfamiliar surroundings ALWAYS have a means of communication if possible, an escape and evade plan and if your with family ALWAYS have a rally point in the event of separation. Common sense goes a long way, if I...

Hello all my name is Justin and my wife Joy, two kids Aidan & Ella all hail from South Central PA. After a 20 plus year hiatus from tent camping I dove right in last year (head first) dragging my unsuspecting wife, kids and golden retriever Roscoe, along. As a kid I was active in Boy Scouts...

Outer Banks continued.... If you prefer established campgrounds with the usual amenities then check out the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and take the FREE ferry to Ocracoke Island. There are several campgrounds along the Cape just off of NC Route 12. Along NC Route 12 you can find sand...

In case I'm not the only one that reads old threads, I'd thought that I would contribute to this one with some ideas from the East Coast that I have researched. Beach camping to me is right on the beach in the sand and just above the high water mark. The only place that I have found that...
