...there is no best brand actually. It all depends on individual need, age of the person and the immediate environment. Deet seems to be the best repellent and most frequently used by the military. There are products on the market that are not as strong as what they use but are effective. I...

---------------------------------------------------- > :) Luv it. Let's see now...I can check this off on your list - deer, owls, possums, and other people then everything else would be foreign to me. I can add to my list - moose, otter, beaver, song birds, raccoons, turtles, wolves, coyotes...

man...not good. Crocs you say? The idea that they might be in the same waters could give me a bit of a heart burn. Then - you may have the same feeling seeing a black bear roam through the camp site. :)

...fantastic - thanks for sharing this and keeping the site fresh with new possibilities. Like I said, "We have a beautiful world!" CHECK OUT THE PLANET'S LONGEST HIKING TRAIL - on the Canada page.

...in our neck of the woods an 18 year old is an adult person. BUT...if anything brings out the "kid" is camping and I mean that in a positive way. TELL US MORE OF YOUR ADVENTURES and what kind of camping you are into. WELCOME AGAIN

...one thing that I learned... Food sources and attractants Black bears and grizzlies are omnivores (from Latin: omni all, everything; vorare to devour). They eat both plants and animals as their primary food source, but will take the opportunity to eat other things if they are available. They...

Welcome!

...and speaking of bears I thought I would renew my knowledge of the same by taking a refresher course. I suggest that you do the same. This is an online course that I believe is available to just about anyone who wishes to take it for a small fee. Bear Aware: Working in Bear Country - St...

...I'm in the water as much as I can be. Our summer in this neck of the woods was hot and I enjoyed every minute I could be in the drink. Swishing through the lakes and rivers in a canoe makes swimming all the more inviting. Now and then I would dip my hat into the water and just let the drops...

Wow! You have my attention. Love to hear more about your adventures because they are a whole lot different from the ones that I experience. And pictures....don't forget to share the pictures. Welcome again @scrapper.

I've made those lanterns too but I especially enjoy making a small wood stove for cooking - sure a lot cheaper than anything you can purchase at the big box store.

Great to see you online @scrapper. The device that you see on the wood spaceman (one of the props I made) is a sensor night light. Our temperature range in this neck of the wood is a bit higher than normal. The week end ranged from a low of 5C (41F) to a high of 22C (72F) though the day...

First Aid [Wilderness Model] tells us to wash the infected area with water, wash thoroughly with soap and then gently rub a tad of skin cream. :)

The theme for the weekend was Star Wars and a 153 youth and adults showed up to join in on the fun. The weather was fantastic as well as the food. There were tents everywhere In group camping - families and gatherings it can be fun to have a theme. I sometimes do this when I solo...

Out to Everton for our Annual Parish Scouting Camp this weekend. - 72 youth are registered. The theme is Star Wars - I'm well prepared.

@2sweed...you are welcome. Some of the trail comes through my neck of the woods and I'm planning a short hike. I expect some will try to tackle the entirety of the trail but it's just a bit big for me. [Well okay...a lot big!] However, I've decided to do something different for next years...
