    Hello from Central, NY

    I love the outdoors because I can be the person that I want to be. I don't think that I'm a sap for loving peace, quiet or tranquility. I can get excited about a starry sky, a babbling brook, a thunderous river and the smell of a campfire crackling in the evening hours. I can canoe for hours...

    Hello from Central, NY

    @flyoffthe - Sounds like you are trying to re-capture some good days gone by. Good for you! I use to tell students on a regular basis not to give up the things that they love most. When we say I use to is a good sign that we need to to start saying I need to. :)

    Do you take a grill when you go camping?

    @killeroy154 - I've sprayed my non-stick stuff with Pam or some other cooking spray. I find that the heat is not distributed as well as on our stoves at home. Try it an let me know what your experience might be. :)

    Praying for rain

    ...and the storm? I've managed to get caught up in a storm or two over the years. The skies become instantly black, the atmosphere is a grey mist, there is a chill in the air, all is quiet including the chirping of the birds, dead silence - then BOOM! The first crash of lightning streaks...

    Post your best nature/scenery photos here

    ... WOW - fabulous stuff. We are so fortunate in this country to have vast parcels of land - bigger than some countries. Fishing? Do you eat what you catch? Do you have a favourite fish lunch/dinner?

    Praying for rain

    ...that's a tricky question. I don't usually have to pray for rain - it just comes naturally. Admittedly - there is something romantic about the patter of rain drops pounding on the tent - when you are warm, cozy and dry. I don't use canvas but do use a new super material that allows me to do...

    Do you take a grill when you go camping?

    ...I think we are evenly matched in terms of equip. It's a matter of choice but I tend not to buy throw away equipment - that includes those cylinder containers of propane. Very definitely Dutch oven fan - the cast iron pieces (for base camp use) etc.

    Out in the mountains

    ...I've had bears (black) come into camp. Magnificent. I didn't have any fear and did the right things. Way back I was at my fire finishing breakfast and to my utter amazement a wolf trotted through my base camp. My mouth dropped open and I almost spilled my precious coffee on the ground...
