Always room for another Camping Babble(r). Hope you enjoy the site and share your experience with us.

The issue for me is that we tend to rely far to much on the technical gizmos and gadgets with disastrous results. It's okay provided ONE - you know how to use technology properly (and a lot of people don't) and TWO - you better have a concrete plan B. :)

Welcome to Camping Babble - hope you get the feedback you are looking for. If not - just enjoy the site for what it is.

...good question. I tend to stay with hiker socks which frequently have a mixture of both. At one time we didn't have any choice but we do today. They don't have to be expensive either - I'm always appalled at the prices I see in the big box outdoor stores charging. I'm into reading labels...

I guess I was always attracted the activity that the boys were involved in wishing that I could be a part of the group. I don't know of any youth magazine (or others) that have been around as long as 1911 - so they have to be doing something right. :)

It's always good to see you on line Dude - trust all is well in your neck of the woods.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) If you are looking a the strap...yep it's serious. I tell ya - they are happy to receive your bucks anytime, for anything, anywhere and it seems us camper types have the money.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) True...it is a lot of work but it has its rewards too. One has to focus on what one does and keep it recreational rather than work. The magazine really is a good choice and is designed for all age groups...

I always wanted a subscription to this... When I was a boy I wanted this magazine so much... never did get it :( . It's a fabulous magazine for any age and is jam packed with excellent articles, photography and know how commentaries that will interest the pre-eminet campers among us...

That's a really great price - it cost me considerably more. Does it have a face mask, gloves and all that kind of stuff? I never paid much attention to first aid kits for the longest time. I do now. I have three kits related to the activity I do. I have field kit which has just about...

...I suppose it all depends on the conditions. My experience would dictate that this would be a no buy for me. For one thing - I would have trouble being confined in such a contraption. Then again, when it comes to equipment we have choice. How about this one... Squat Strap I think this...

The Biolite stove has been popular of recent date - that's another stove I haven't purchased. :( Let me see now - I do have :) One - Gas Coleman - two burner One - Propane Coleman - two burner Two - Propane Cylinder Broadstone - one burner One - Gas Primus Backpacker - one burner (I like this...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) Great! Don't forget to take those pics.

Congrats! You made it to the Notable Members List - nice to see new faces.

Great to see you online. Sounds fantastic - you get my summer juices going. I'm not a fisherman so I'm not sure what crappie fishing means. Temperature in our neck of the woods is dropping to minus 24 Celsius tonight. [- 11 Fahrenheit American]

The last trip I slept on the ground proper. One foot under the tent. One ground blanket in the tent plus One ground rug One sleeping pad One winter sleeping bag with insert One hot water bottle placed at the foot of the bag before getting in One four season tent. There was only room for...

I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a solo camp stove. Though I'm resisting the same as I look on the shelf and see all the stoves I've made and have in my inventory. :( The solo stove uses twigs and such found on the ground. You can get an alcohol mini stove that fits inside the...

The purchase of a heating device depends a great deal on the space to be heated. We really can't use the term "best" because there isn't any best. I use a wood stove because the tent is designed for such equipment. Others will use different kinds of heating devices. Whatever the selection is...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ :) Well put.
