I've used this method numerous times. Only when the ferocious bug season is over.

...I've used a bivy on some of my trips; it was like sleeping in a coffin. [Gave it away.] Okay for some but then I found that I could get a lot bigger shelter without all that much extra weight for a whole lot more comfort. I have used only a tarp too. The closest I have to a bivy at the...

=====> :) A good looking hat for a good looking man.

...@Bibsoutdoors you are going to have to get one of those Camping Babble patches for your overalls. :)

=====> :) I would like to take up the challenge beginning in May - my Camping New Year. It sounds like fun. All I have to do is have someone sign my card. On another note I s.....................o liked the hammock snow picture. Like I've said I've never taken the hammock as a serious piece...

=====> :) Interesting. I'm a National Trainer and Chaplain to Scouts Canada.

=====> That would make sense.

...interesting. When I get involved in these sorts of discussions the first thing I ask for are FACTS. I would like to think that our professional community has a handle on this sort of stuff and I tend to bend to their expertise. Though - as we all know - they have been wrong. But one as to...

...I may not know what the term "blow out" means. I do know once you have released the nozzle pin the gas will escape immediately. The trick is to be fast and efficient. It's like putting air into your tire - if you don't get the cap on quickly you risk losing air.

Canada is home to four species of venomous snakes, including the Northern Pacific rattlesnake, Massasauga, Desert Nightsnake and Prairie rattlesnake. Snake venom is a toxin, not a poison, so there are no poisonous snakes found in Canada or anywhere else in the world. INTERESTING

...my knowledge of snakes is limited to the wilderness first aid modules on poisonous snake bites. Probably due to the fact there are only four poisonous snakes in Canada that one has to fear; none of those snakes are in the areas that I frequent. There are a lot of snakes but all harmless and...

@Madman4800 it's always great to have another Babbler join us. So...if I can be so bold - what kind of camping are you into? RV-er, Weekend Warrior, Serious Dude, Wild one, Back Yard King? Jump right in and have fun! :) :bear: Baden Bear here, "Don't let ND rattle your cage, he just gets...

@missyify ...I forget that Family Camping is a whole lot different from a few experienced guys doing their thing. But it might be fun too. I've always enjoyed teaching younger people the arts of camping. You get a bit of a charge when you see them excited about developing a skill they can use...

REALLY GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ONLINE MISSYIFY! :) This is my mess kit - one bowl, one plate and one cup. Made of steel for durability and long lasting good looks. It helps keep hot food hot and cold food cold. It is white so I can clearly see what is on my plate and in the bowl. It comes...

...is there such a thing as a camp fetish? Probably. I seem to get caught up with purchasing tents and I've done a lot of that over the years. My inventory at the moment rests at nine bu......t I'm looking at the new improved Outback Tent at Cabela's for our canoe trip in August. I have...

There was a time that I bought equipment on a whim or some form of attractiveness or because it was so and therefore I bought. I spent a lot of dollars purchasing things that made sense to the manufacturer (making dollars) but in the final analysis made no sense to the consumer. I had money -...

...excellent choice @Bibsoutdoors, it's all a matter of preference. I like the product line because you can get something that suits your style. I have Tilley safari shirts, long and short pants, socks and one Vomp (vest of may pockets). I tell ya - I can sure look like a million dollar camper...

...the TILLEY hat that I wear the most is the Mash-up about $75.00. I can tie it down for rough weather, it keeps the rain and sun out of my face, I soak it in the drink when days are hot and sunny, it drys fast and doesn't lose it's shape or colour and it's guaranteed. + Tilley is a Canadian...
