    Bringing a gun

    I try to stay clear of this issue because of the reaction some people may have if I voice my opinion on this. Oh well here goes, but I don't mean to offend or insult anyone. I can think of only 2 reasons why someone feels they have to have a hand gun with them when they go camping. #1 is...

    Minding nature

    Yes we have similar problems here. We pick up their garbage and clean out the fire pit. We try not to dwell on it cause it does no good. We leave camp area clean and sometimes extra firewood stacked for next camper. I figure that in some small way maybe it leaves a good example for someone else.

    A Walk in da Woods

    Thank you. There is a place in the park where people can camp. Backpacking everything in and out, and have to obtain permit. We only hiked for little more than half of the day, so the water was sufficient, except I forgot the M&Ms. Give my wife a few of the candy treats and she would stay out...

    Thwart Bag

    Thank you. Other than being tight with money, I like to make things sort of gives me that warm squishy feeling ha. Besides I have boring job, and often have time to draw and think of ideas. Takes my mind off the repetitive doldrums of maintaining a production machine.

    REI Half Dome 2+

    Hello bigmuddyriver, I just sat down to eat egg sandwich and seen your post. I read some of the reviews about your tent. Most all were very favorable except the one about the pole problem you mentioned. I would make sure to put it up a few times, while you are home, to see if any issues or...

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...

    The Mighty Sleeping Bag

    Very well put, and great advice. I have 3 sleeping bags. My wife bought me a 40 and a 0 degree bag, and the 3rd bag I bought was a mummy bag. The ones that my wife got me are rectangular with plenty enough room to move around, but on the bulky side. I purchased a military mummy bag last year...

    Your Camp Menu Plan

    21 days must've been fabulous. I wouldn't know how to plan for that. I am bad to eat to much, and then I don't feel well when I sleep. I do better with less food, but it's hard when you are out in the wild.

    First Aid Carrier

    I like the sealed containers because it always rains when I go camping. Plus when I get back it can be put up with my camping stuff until the next trip. I hope I never have to be in a situation to have to give first aid, I am afraid I wouldn't handle it well. I have had some training, but you...

    Your Camp Menu Plan

    Oh I forgot, Little Debbies. Those cakes and treats should be the holocaust survival food.

    Your Camp Menu Plan

    Here's my thoughts, for what it's worth. I would say your knowledge would far exceed what I know. I have never been on a camping trip where I couldn't get out to get some grub. If I am going alone it is easier to plan. I try not to pack a lot of parishables. Maybe some bacon, eggs, bread, brats...

    Other than looks, does it decrease the effectiveness of it?
