@killeroy154 ...if anyone can you certainly are that person. This fall? That means you have to wait almost a whole cotton pickin year. The rivers, streams, lakes, marsh lands, and other water ways wait for your creation. :) After all there are...count them...eight possibilities.

- Second Edition As an Educator I've always had trouble with the words like idiot and dumb. But..........I guess I can be forgiving in this case. I picked up this manual at a Church Book sale for the sum total of $1.00 [that would be approximately .73 cents American :) .] Though the many...

--------------------------- > :) Thanks - there is a hole at the back centre for a steel rod that holds a lantern or two. I could cut out a place for a stove - but I have three different stoves and decided to just set them on the top.

...so this is what it looks like ------------------------ > Not as snazzy as killeroy154 productions but it will do just fine. It comes apart and folds down. And yes it is marked with one of my totem signatures. It takes a regular stove and can easily manage the weight of my stove/oven...

...okay, okay no laughing. This is my rendition of a portable kitchen table top for my kitchen tent. The wood $30.00 Hardware $4.00 Polyurethane $ 12.00 Recycle bins $9.00 Wash bin with lid $5.00 About $60.00 not including labour and tax :)

...welcome again @LAbradford! I guess miserable says it all. :dead: I remember once that it poured rain for the three days we were out - yep - that was miserable. But for the most part my experiences have been positive. You are right when you talk about sleeping bags and such. Most people...

...I winter camp - I have to - because I wouldn't be able to boast that I'm a four season camper. :) It is like every other outdoor activity. You need to have the right equipment for the right circumstance and the necessary skills to take part in this kind of camping. "No place like a...

Welcome to Camping Babble.

...my favourite walking staff is carved maple. It has a bark twirl with natural wood showing. I have some of those walking pins attached - the ones made especially for walking staffs. I have another one that is made of pine that I like for canoe trips as it is light. On occasion - when the...

Happy Birthday. Hope you get tonnes of money and gifts :-]

Where ever you are, what ever you are doing - hope everything is okay in your neck of the woods and you are planning for a great summer.

--------------------------------- > :) You might enjoy Watkins Great Outdoors - if they sell the product in your neck of the woods. It is not sticky or greasy; it's a cream that has a pleasant fragrance. It also has 28.5% deet. What does Off Lotion say about it's contents?

...right on @Alexandoy. I make stoves out of a cans. Usually I use a coffee can so I can insert a fuel can if need be. but... I often use this. It is compact and the fuel lasts for server days. Really good in wet weather. AND SPEAKING OF SCOUTING they still have the best field manuals...

...but alas many of the places that I go have a can/bottle ban with some hefty fines if you have these in your pack or in your canoe. So I prepackage foods or re package foods accordingly. The great thing today is there are a variety of food stuffs. For example you can buy bacon strips or bacon...

...we are not much into games BUT we do some stuff around the fire. Try this next time you are out. [I hope it's okay to say there are only guys on our trips - dunno, maybe we should change that - anyway------->] Let's talk about funny things. or Tell us about an embarrassing moment. Give it...

@7update...one of the questions I ask myself, "Do I want to camp with this guy and have him be part of the company?" And then there have been times we have taken along a green horn deliberately. It's good for him and it's good for us. Strange as it sounds - I get a kick-out-of a guy who suddenly...

@7update...you have certainly travelled a lot and have had experiences that people read about in travel mags. I sense there is some military background here :). I have to admit I've sort of limited my canoe/camping terrain - not that where I am is without boast. Hundreds of thousands for all...

Hi Jason: ...that's a bit of a difficult question. My skill [there are other members of the Camping Babble community who have great skills] is not much more than a saw, hammer, a few nails, some sand paper and glue AND an idea. I just finished a fold down kitchen table with sink, place for a...

I've learned over the years to know where I am AND to be clear about things like "predatory" animals, snakes, bears and the like. I know the habits of the creatures that inhabit my neck of the woods. I am familiar with animal behaviours, know how to avoid confrontations, reverence wildlife...

...location, location, location. I can't be bothered to do all that stuff - I buy the appropriate tent for the conditions that apply. So...I don't use a one season tent for the winter. I would use a four season. ALL my tents are bug proof [unless you are silly enough to leave the doors open]...
