------------------------------- > The silver looking cylinder is the battery that is charged by my Boulder solar panel and yes that is a light. I have four lights though I find two more than adequate to light up my tent. You can plug in a computer, phone, CD/VHS etc. As I mentioned I watch...

...you definitely don't have to be curious ask away :) Bibs! You have come to the right place to "talk about it on an on". [I might even talk more than you.] I don't know if I'm boasting or apologizing but I have two rooms full of equipment - all used in different situations and circumstances...

------------------------------- > :) Right on! I use the Goal Zero products too. This is the item I use most - On a rainy day or night I can watch my comedy videos or read a good book in the late evening hours.

...another of my favourites is Ben Hunt. He was an incredible guy who was steeped in Indian Lore. I used a lot of his ideas over the years. All good stuff.

...why would anyone in their right mind take a gun camping? I prefer to take my dog - great companion. This gun stuff must be an American idea - in all my years of camping [and there have been a few] the subject has never come up. We are more into - "What' the latest equipment?" or "I can make...

You really have to find what is best for you and your environment. ...a lot of people have the notion that you spray yourself silly and it will keep everything away. It doesn't work like that - it is only a repellent - thus the name. That is why I have three different ones - each applied to...

---------------------------- > I like Sigurd Olson's stuff especially "Listening Point" - I still take it with me.

...our system is different - there is no secret in our neck of the woods. People are encourage (as I did) to take a bear course if you plan to camp in bear country. Each jurisdiction will be different and one has to be aware of the local circumstances. I've had six bears (not all at once) come...

...it's all fun stuff and easy to do. Killeroy154 is really the expert. I use wood legs and they as well as everything else can be found at any large lumber supply store. Rona, Home Depot, Lowe's any of those will have more than you need. I use a lesser grade of wood though examine it carefully...

+++++++++++++++++++++ >:) EXCELLENT @bibscoutdoors! You need to ask Erik [founder of this site] for a Camping Babble Patch - there are free. Nice to see you on line.

...so how heavy is this thing? Would it be more efficient than solar power? :)

...All things Bright and Beautiful - the Lord God made them all. Every time I see Herriot's book that is the hymn that comes to mind. ALSO :) make sure you fill out a float plan - that is the expectation of those of us who go solo or are camping beyond the tourist crowd. I have a thread on...

================= > :) :bear: ...aw yes, the call of the wild - any wild!

...looking forward to hearing more about your exploits.

================== > An aluminum canoe? The first thought that comes to mind is a Grumman? I have an ultra light kevlar sixteen foot Souris River Prospector that does me just fine. If any of my colleagues want to be in the stern that's okay with me. :bear: Baden Bear here, "Don't let him...

===================== > :) ...you are faster than I am. Welcome again. I've had limited camping experience with backpacking because when I can I'm canoe camping. Yep...the summer is just about planned starting on May 22nd actually.

...before we get started there has to be a lot of Gals Outdoor Movies and I hope there will be folks who contribute to that. :) Sometimes I get a hankering for guys outdoor movies. Nothing complicated, :confused: no language issues :wideyed: no murder and mayhem, :dead: and no watching some...

...looks great @janojebo just a tad more luxurious than the set up that I have. My "wash stand" holds in the wind but I usually put another tarp over the top and peg it to the ground to give it more security and water resilience. It works fine for me. Must have missed you - WELCOME TO CAMPING...

Flag or Pennant. You will always know that I'm camping in a certain area because I always fly my own flag. Not just any one [I have 28 different flags] but my own personal flag. It's kinda gives me the feeling that I have arrived and have taken over. "I claims this here land in the name of...
