    ELECTRICAL STORMS & Camping

    The only Park that I camp in is Algonquin - it's huge and you can get away from people when canoeing in the backcountry.

    Greetings from Ontario Canada

    ...it all sounds fascinating and great fun. My endeavours are principally canoe/camping at which time I use a multitude of skills and experiences. Trips are planned for the summer months. The first of April I'll be away for a weekend jaunt with our Scouting group - sort of kicks off the...

    Our For-bearers...what we can learn...

    Right on! Not only is it a fabulous game it is in fact the national sport of Canada. Strange? They didn't seem to have on all that equipment one uses today. Can you imagine doing this?

    ELECTRICAL STORMS & Camping

    When children and youth are quiet enough to experience wildlife in their natural habitat they are usually hooked on outdoor stuff. I remember well a group of youth we had taken out on their first canoe trip watching moose at the waters edge. You could just see the excitement build. They were...

    Are there climbers in the crowd?

    I don't think I could manage the high hanging tents and hammocks - the first thing I do in the morning is charge out of my tent to relieve myself. Apparently I don't fly very well either. :(

    ...so happy to see that [I mean the bear in the pack], I always have a Baden Bear with me - big, small or huge - I've got to have a (Teddy) bear with me.

    o...kay. Depending on the age I would have a Friday, Saturday night outing preferably close by. So...what do children hate most? :sour: Outhouses would be one of those. I take time to acquaint them with these devices. I clean them like crazy because this is one of the yucky things that turn...
