I started with a simple plan, and looked at a couple of thwart bags on line. I had a couple yards of canvas that I purchased last year, so to work I went. Drew my plans out and started cutting fabric. dug out the old singer sewing machine . Yes the zipper was to long oh well side cutters took...

It was a nice evening on the city park lake of Bays Mountain. Putting in the canoe some scenery There is no swimming allowed here, unless you flip the canoe ha. Once a month members are allowed to canoe or kayak on the lake. They only let 15 water craft on the lake for that day, which today...

Planning my fall fishing and camping trip. This may be 3 months away and only a couple of nights, but it is helping me pass the time at work, and gives me something to ponder on and look forward to. I read an article in a local outdoor magazine where a couple of people did a 5 day 4 night trip...

I have an Enos double hammock and I have been looking at the rain Flys for them. What or where should I get? These Enos brand cost more than the hammock! I am not spending 80 bucks! Is there a more economical one?

Maybe I take canoe out after work this morning. Get a little small mouth action, and canoeing in before it gets hot out. This river loop normally takes about 6 hours to drift, and it's only a couple miles, by road, back to vehicle. I have done this a couple of times in the past. Right now it's...

Didn't you just get some camping in? How was it?

Got back from Charlottesville VA last night. Went to Monticello, and see what that town had. We took a walk on their Rivanna river trail that runs across the town beside the river. It was interesting seeing how trail maintenance was to, just keep it clear. They had an old outdoor theater here...

Got home this morning and slept a couple of hours. Filled some bottles of water, and shoved them in may pack We drove 40 min to our favorite city park that is in a valley on top of a mtn. We started at the dam on the lake. It was maybe 70 degrees at 9:30 this morning, and warming quickly Ah...

Took an all day river fishing trip with my brother, what a rough day it was. I loaded up my 15'6 tandom canoe and met my brother for breakfast at 5 am in a little town at the foothills of the smokey mtns. We left his vehicle at the take out and drove 8 miles up stream to put in. There is a...

Took a stroll today in a local park. We were going to go bicycle riding on the towns green belt, but due to heavy rains the creek it follows was over parts of the trail Got her! She hates having her picture taken. Yes that is the misses. Starting of the trail That is the only bridge. They...

Got home this morning and loaded the canoe up, so I could go scope out an island in question for camping. Closest ramp and island up stream. Wow was the water moving! tucked it into this calm spot to rest. Good greif we had a lot of rain. Worked my tail off to get to this island. One more...

Just got up and look what I got in the mail My hammock straps. Of the course the cat had to play with them to before I could tool it back up. I went outside to check it out. It took me maybe 4 minutes to get it up and comfy I attached one strap to a walnut tree my wife started from a nut, and...

Woke up early with a pressing weight on my stomach, so I thought I would finish my book. I am a slow reader and very destructive to poor paper products. Despite the coffee stains and edge crumpled pages, this book was excellent. I felt that i was on the adventure with Kyle Rohrig. [emoji106]...

Everyone awfully quiet on here. Are you all camping, or working your normal jobs dreaming about getting away? Dreaming about far off camping places where I can leave my job and worries behind is what I do most nights while at work. I feel I am fortunate to go a couple of times a year even if it...

Not a camping day, but a great morning with my nephew on the river. A little river fun before he has to return to his air base. It was a nice cool morning with a chance of rain as we put in. There are plenty of calm areas where you don't have to worry about broadsiding anything. I enjoy gliding...

Wow awfully quiet on here. I hope everyone is camping and having a good time. Would love pictures and hear stories when everyone gets back.

Happy Easter everyone. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I should've done the picture thing when I was camping. This is what I found most help full. I had these but I used my small Bic lighter exclusively because it was always in my pocket and easily accessible. The matches good to have incase your lighter gets wet. The Gerber multi-tool turned...

Well, we planned this camping trip over a month ago. The weather up until yesterday, when we arrived, was ideal. Rain most of day yesterday while running across lake to our island, and then 11 mph winds all night and rest of today. Wow are the stars beautiful! we have an island to ourselves...

I know this was discussed before, but I was at a huge knife store and was looking real hard at the smaller multi-tool that have pliers, scissors and blade. I liked the micro ones with a clip cause I realy don't wear belts very often but would I use it or would it sit in my closet with the...
