...I usually take pictures and some of my colleagues will take videos of the event as well. In the past it has been my/our custom to take photos and write up a journal that is given out in early fall as we gathered around the barbecue and swapped [stretched] stories. We traditionally had one...

Thank you @Alexandoy...everywhere we go creatures roam and we are fortunate when we can come into safe contact with them. The only "monkeys" that I've observed are at the African Lion Safari which is about an hour from my home. We visited recently and I was moved by the magnificence of all the...

It has been my custom as a canoe camper to pay attention to all kinds of water - swimming, canoeing, drinking, washing, cooking - the whole nine yards. In this country if seven person's drowned in one place a Coroner's Hearing would be held to determine exactly what happened. In this neck of...

...you don't need electricity @Alexandoy - the device is used for camping. Right over that barbecue you were talking about.

For the camper who has everything. The Slotdog is a simple tool. It actually does what it says it will. It cleans up pretty easily just by running it through some dishwater and giving it a hot rinse. While it is dishwasher safe, that’s one appliance that’s lacking from virtually all of our...

...unfortunately we just can't blame the "young campers"; there are a lot of older weekend trashers who wreck places of beauty. But I have to say that in the regions I camp there seems to be a solid understanding of what environment is all about. There are so many more organizations today that...

It would be great if you have a picture @Alexandoy. Personally I like the challenge of free camping other than organized or site camping. There are other products on the market BUT you can make your own wood stove that is light as a feather. You simply use the twigs of the forest floor as...

There are several suggestions depending on your circumstance. FIRST - I think you need to get a better tent, one with up-to-date materials that are waterproof. Watch where you place the tent and check the earth for discolouration and check for dampness indicating water saturation. The better...

I met this guy on my path. What do you think? Stand my ground or move over? No contest with this guy!

...the most dangerous animal in the world are humans.

Though this Continent is blessed with an abundance of fresh water humans in their arrogance and ignorance have destroyed a lot of natural resources. It just isn't our issue it is a world issue with our global population passing 9 billion. Do you have anything like this where you live...

...@killeroy154 - it looks a lot better than mine. So...I'll tell you what's in my bag if you tell me what's in your bag. :) Well done - that's a skill I should have because I can think of a lot of projects I could immerse myself in.

From Gear Junkie - Guide To Choosing A Tent Makes a lot of sense to me.

...I do simple things like using the toilet paper cylinders too. I cut them into three, [or leave them as they are] fill them with cotton balls, [or lint from the dryer] smear them with petroleum jelly [or not] and walla instant starter. I also use facial pads - one on the bottom, petroleum...

Very true @killeroy154. I drool when I'm in that part of the store. Rows of them - every size shape and oh ya, big buck items. Sure beats the ol' blanket roll of years gone by. Though, they still sell them but not with the material of that day.

SINCE I'M NOT ABLE TO CAMP I'LL... explore my greater neighbourhood and enjoy what I've got. Thirty minutes from the city is AFRICAN LION SAFARI. and we just have to have... What's exclusive to your neck of the woods?

They are every where and come in different sizes, designs, shapes, material, purposes, and styles. THE SLEEPING BAG Pryce-Jones, a Montgomeryshire Welsh entrepreneur, developed the bag and exported around the world in the late 19th century. So...with the history dealt with let's look at the...

Great pics @Madman4800 - what's that creature to the upper right? Not the dog...the other one? :) Man...I miss my dog; every time I see one I get all choked up. You have a fabulous time - MY THE FOREST BE WITH YOU!

For the cost of the container I simply purchase new. I do take the head off and recycle something that you can't do with the propane bottle. Because of that I tend to take a tank and refill. Have you noticed the increased cost of those small cylinders? I have a hunch that governments will...

I'd gladly plan for longer - I have the equipment. Base camp is like staying at a cabin. I tend to eat less primarily because I've learned to cook one pot meals. I did take my stove/oven along but didn't use it as much as I had planned. That probably contributed to the over abundance - I...
