So...what's "campingin" in your life? WELCOME!

....it's a party! Sixteen eggs makes it really rich but it all sounds so delicious.

Surprisingly @flyoffthe I've seen men a lot larger than you out there enjoying the camp scene. There is equipment than manages larger weights from sleeping bags, to cots, to chairs etc. I don't give advice but it seems to me if you really are interested in the outdoor life - jump into and have...

...my first solo canoe/camp trip is June 20th. The equipment and food list were done some time ago. Even now I check to see what I can leave behind and what I don't really need to take. I find myself thinking that the preparation is more fun than the actual event. Got some good stuff there...

Welcome - tell us more about yourself.

Mental Health - get away from the parties - the kids - the sex - people - the world :)

...great list @WilliamV. Sounds like you have a lot of experience and know what you are doing. Would enjoy learning more about your actual camping adventures. As you might know I'm a four season camper enjoying canoe camping the most. I have so much equipment for so many circumstances that I...

Nice to see you online @WilliamV! ...there is no best sleeping bag. Your sleep system will depend on the conditions and climate you find yourself in. I doubt that I would be using an arctic bag in the swamps of Florida. Each bag purchased will have "good and bad" depending what you plan to...

I like that ~ Work Less - Camp More ~ - starting June 1st that is what I plan to do - hopefully.

Surprisingly we haven't had a lot of serious stuff but there have been some issues. We are very careful about food preparation/handling and filtration of the water we drink. For the interior we have a wilderness field kit that has plaster bandages for large wounds and cuts. AR masks, gloves...

-----> WELCOME <-----

Lynette We have people here from South Africa, Romania, England, Scotland, Canada and a lot of folks from the U.S. Lots of topics and some good discussion around equipment and experiences. AND...there is no junk!

...@Hobbit - sooooooo - exactly what is your first aid kit for?

@killerfoy154 - a weekend warrior. It's just great that you can get away at all. Do what you can if this is what you like. I remember one summer that I was transferred to another parish and didn't get any summer. I value any time when I'm away. Just in case - Seam Sealing a Tent or Tarp...

I see you are a summer girl (August) - nice to see you online!

WELCOME flipflopgirl! ~ TO ~ CAMPING BABBLE - glad you joined us!

...it's what is best for the circumstance, how often you plan to use it, where and when and how much you are prepared to pay for it. It is not unusual for me to be out for a month or so - sometimes canoeing. I've got to have excellent equipment - my life could depend upon it. :)

....@Hobbit - you come up with some really fantastic ideas Dude! I taught first aid for twenty years and because I trained Scout Leaders I also added some of the wilderness modules. So...about the first aid kit? I don't go cheap and I think specifically about the wilderness experience. The...

----------------------------------------------------------------------> :) Kinda scary - but then again subtly and insanely exciting. It's what it's all about - the sudden unexpected challenge that awakens the inner primitive man. That is the difference between the weekend warrior and those of...

...the secret is - if there is a secret. Be quiet at certain times of the day, keep yourself free of odours from shampoos and the like, be as still as you can and keep your eyes open.
