I have been trying to get my things together for next week's camping trip, but my job has taken my time up for this past week. Now the 12 hr days are over, so this is the time to get serious. I have created a simple power pack for my cell phone booster 2- 6 volt batteries in series gives me...

look what I got today at an antique store for 15 bucks. Forget that little ole camp bow saw! I'll cut some real fire wood now. What you think?

I be headed to an island on the famous Dale Hollow Lake, this is where the all tackle world record small mouth was caught. I was very surprised to find out they had primitive camping in several areas of the lake, and only 3 bucks a night! I figured we would have to leave the vehicle somewhere...

Fixen to go camp and fish on a remote lake that has very little to no cell signal. I am not much for going off grid. I like to be able to communicate to the outside world if I need to. I went with my brother on a remote lake one spring and it would have been impossible to get help if there was...

I wanted to share this with you all. A couple of weeks ago I went looking for portable tables. I felt they were very expensive and not what I was looking for. I had an aluminum stove stand that I bought at an antique store, so I started thinking of how to make my own table. I had a couple of...

We drove into the Smokey mtns last week while we were up that way. There was a bad fire there last month that killed 14 people and destroyed several homes. We have had a drought since the summer, so the conditions were great for this type of disaster. Some of the burn can be seen in this...

I couldn't stand it anymore. Took my solo toy out today. paddled up to these shoals. Train load of coal up the hill looked like it was coming from Kentucky. Quilt patterns on barns and sheds are getting quite popular in this area. A Veiw from underneath the canoe This is a nice park Time...

I am sure glad this sites heating up. I was getting a little worried because it was awfully quiet here. I posted my last camping trip on another site (oh the shame of it! Yes I went to another camping site, I am so sorry) Anyhow, i thought i might share this with y'all. A friend (Spencer) I work...

Yes it is that time of year when I start planning a short camping trip. This month of October would have been great, but I should've scheduled some days for this month last February. Others in my department already have dibs, and now I can't take off[emoji20] . Sure I could probably break some...

I purchased this 1.1 liter pot a couple of days ago to replace an old aluminum one that had, some time many years ago, a worn out Teflon coating and fixed handle. Now here's my problem and questions if anyone has done this? Can I heat a spot on the brim and beat a functional pour spot into it...

I got this little burner for 20 bucks. I used it the other day for my redbeans and rice. I had my fish cooking on the other burner. . It's an Outad brand? I like how it packs small and is pretty wind proof. The only issue I had was it would start to spit and sputter. I was using the coleman...

I never had a problem out of this old Coleman stove till I had a bright idea to clean it's needle valve. . What did I do? What can I do to fix it? Don't say retire it either me and this old stove got lots of past camping stories.

Oh I did it now. I guess I will have to turn in my Arm Chair Survivalist certificate. I went out and bought one of these torch heads, and it even has a self igniter. It works great with the same bottle of propane that I use with my single burner stove. While I am at it I might as well admit...

I do believe cooler weather is finally here, and it is time to plan a few days camping. Unfortunately October is booked here at work, so I will have to wait till November. November can be a tricky month. I have seen the temperature drop from the 60's F to the 20's overnight. I remember it being...

. My wife and I took a little drive last Saturday on the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail. It runs from Bristol VA to Cumberland Gap Kentucky. There sure was some beautiful scenery . There were some hiking trails, but due to the heat and I sort of screwed my back up, she wouldn't let me do any...

. It isn't camping, but I can still enjoy the first day I've had off in 3 weeks. Grandson is in the yellow and gray hammock. Tapatalk Cloud - Downlaoad File 20160813_124300_001.mp4 don't know if this video makes it or not. love my trees. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

My wife asked me long ago what I thought my totem might be. I told her I never realy thought about it, but I would guess the otter because they love the water. She said she figured it would be the beaver. Why i asked. Because, she started to explain, like the otter I love the lakes and streams...

Since my last river running camping trip, and due to lack of vacation time, I have to take a break. So I am trying to repair the abuse I put on my wooden canoe paddle. I haven't seen much posted lately, so I can only assume most are camping. Enjoy and don't forget pictures. Sincerely Roy

On my last trip I left the coffee pot at home. Now I do luvs me coffee, maybe a little to much tho. I was trying to pack light (ha yes that's funny), so I packed this reusable coffee filter I always take a 1 quart boiling pot for rice or noodles, and I always have my 20oz coffee mug...
