List is looking good @killerroy154 - luvs the canoe. I looked at the Mad River canoe and opted for the Souris River Prospector instead. Speaking of canoe - in this neck of the woods it is a legal requirement to wear (which I recommend at all times) a proper whistle and a canoeist must have...

I looked at this list several times - you don't get any protest from me. It looks really good. I don't take a Bic lighter - I use a fire starter [for cotton balls and petroleum jelly] and I have a sparky and wooden matches. Bic and other lighters have been known to malfunction.

Love to join you...but I have to wait until June [which isn't all that far away]. It begins the camping season for me in earnest. ...I'm just itching to get out there. I can't be any more ready than I am. Accept - I don't have a dog this year...or at least not yet. Love to see your list AND...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Good idea! I made a contribution to PWRDF Sunday. Thanks for the nudge. :)

I got into packaging big time because there is a ban on bottles and cans in Algonquin Park interior. If you are caught with the same there is no warning - you are fined accordingly. I'm glad I did learn packaging actually because there is a whole source of food supply that doesn't come in cans...

@killeroy154... Good question. :) Anything that can be broken down and repackaged is done. When possible regular foods stuffs from my super store are purchased and not from outdoor stores. Pan cake mix would be one of those items. In terms of sugar, *milk, creamer, coffee, tea and such like...

@campforums... The above list is designed for me for the solo canoe trip that I will be taking in June. Even if I should be involved with a group I still have my personal list. When I'm with a group another list is put together for the entire community. It goes a long way to cut down the...

Like other famous people - it's your Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

...I almost forgot - not really. Part of the file? Camp Permit [they fine you if you don't have it.] Also included is a site map with photos, [nothing like canoeing around looking for your campsite], a complete I.D. that includes my photo, medications, contact list. Normally there would be an...

Simplicity? - that is what I need to do. Well...not really :) - I make a task out of everything camping. Here is my list for the first solo trip. Or did I say pamphlet? Done in the wee hours of a February winter morn...

...good point @Faust. When it comes down to it - I really do much the same. So why do I do it then anyway? It's sort of fun and a time filler especially on a cold snowy night in February. It also helps me keep track of the equipment that I have. I boast that I have nine tents...then I...

------------------------------------------------------------ > ...aw yes...I think they call it life in the wild. :)

ABOUT LISTS.... @killeroy154 made an interesting/demonstrated point - lists. I have a list for every trip I take whether it is for a few days, a few weeks or a month or so. I don't leave home without them. My lists contain - equipment, food, menu plans, clothing, personal items, maps, I.D...

...I just realized...I've never really camped with women. In terms of the guys I've never seen anything inappropriate - we are experience trippers and sufficiently well off to enable us to purchase proper attire. I don't know what the intention of Profit5500 in asking the question; he's...

Happy "B" day : - ]

@flyoffthe...GREAT! The one thing about camping that I have always enjoyed? YOU CAN BE YOURSELF! If they don't like they can find another camp site. :)

Nat I think you will find Camping Babble and interesting place. Jump right in and have some fun, it's a great place to explore.

...if I'm tripping I tend to avoid eggs. Other times I do what @Faust does. I've done some research on eggs on how long they can last in the open. I haven't come to any conclusion as to the longevity. I do know unwashed farm eggs tend to last longer. But as I said I'm not sure. In terms of...

...I like to cook over an open fire but when I say that I'm talking about a cooking fire not bigger than my fist. I enjoy a small campfire when I'm out. I've never supported the idea of a BIG fire. For one reason the fire screams at you, "Feed me, Feed me!" If I build a campfire it is designed...
