Agreed - footwear is far more important than we often realize - and it all depends what you are doing. From canoeing to trail blazing proper footwear is essential.

Welcome to Camping Babble - there is a lot of neat camper stuff as well as great people.

Welcome to Camping Babble - a place for serious campers...and then again...not so serious campers.

I have a wider size to accommodate proper hiking socks. I often use my hikers in the winter too and the size permits winter socks to be worn. I use a waterproof spray on the boots to help keep the wetness and mud off - though you can purchase good boots that have a water resistant material.

For those of us who are serious camperists, canoeists, bicyclists, kayakingists, backpackerists, hikerists, mountain climberists, or any other "ists" quickly learn to wear proper clothing and use proper equipment and know our stuff! My first time - what do ya think?

I enjoyed it too - and it reminded me that I need to be more cognizant in hanging the barrel correctly.

...hope you enjoy the site!

Welcome to the site where the campfire is always burning.

Could be...but you know what I hear most at night around the tent? Mice.

I can appreciate that - I lost Reese in November. I'm looking for another canine friend in order to get him ready for the camping season. :)

If you are a bear lover you will enjoy this episode of three bears trying to get into a canoe barrel. CHECK IT OUT... key in - Are pack barrels safe from bears? Explore Magazine Scroll down to the video - it's fun to watch.

I have that feeling too sometimes. I just need to get away from it all - and I do. I feel comfortable in the wilds and don't feel threatened. I remember years ago when four of us were in Algonquin - just as the sun was sinking the wolves began to howl. Their majestic hymn crossed the lakes...

I don't meet a lot of solo campers - people think we are odd. Maybe we are :(. It is my practise (when I can) to set up a base camp. Some think I'm elaborate. Whatever...from there I take my canoe into the territory and will camp three or four nights and return to base to relax. I have posted...

...WOW! You are my kind of camper - freaky :) ! Though I have taken survival courses I've opted to stay within the packaged foods - made or bought. In terms of shelter - I can hack it if I can stay dry. I have made an Adirondack as well as a lean-to but a light weight backpacker's tent is...

Welcome to Camping Babble!

You really are in some nice territory.Weather patterns have been unusual in the last few years. I've noticed the increase of wind warnings in our neck of the woods. So...whats you got planned for the summer? :)

I liked that - it was really funny! :) I'd be gone longer if I could.

...I hear you - we have done some interesting things in our Province too. The winter was fierce last year and it decimated a good number of deer that has helped the moose population grow. (With a decrease of deer is helps to eliminate the deer tick that is deadly to the moose.) One thing I can...

Excellent. Though I am relatively close to open spaces (I live near the Grand River) you have it made with a wildlife preserve right behind you. They would have to put up a fence to keep me out. :( Can I ask what kind of canoe you have Zack? I have a Souris River 16 foot ultra-light kevlar...
