Welcome to Camping Babble - a great site for fun loving campers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) There great! Nothing better than having a Helinox chair to cozy up close to a campfire.

I really enjoy communicating with you killerroy154. :) I would like to know more about your camping experience. I have had bears come through camp and on one occasion I observed a black bear checking out the kitchen shelter. It's fascinating to watch these majestic creatures and observe their...

Welcome to Camping Babble - an interesting place to be.

The first defense in bear care is to know all about the bear and its behaviour. Most people don't and rely on a lot of data posted by ignorant persons. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO MY COLLEAGUES - "Going into bear country?" Take the short course and be properly informed. Bears use their senses -...

Welcome to CAMPING BABBLE! Interesting picture...tell us more.

Always good to see a new "Babbler" online - WELCOME!

WELCOME TO CAMPING BABBLE!

Like I said...do the research by an independent source - you will be surprised what works and what doesn't work. :) :bear: Baden Bear says, "Northern Dancer has tried everything in the market."

I mean really...who would use this? The tools that I use for the knife that I have are the two blades, the Philips screw driver, and the tooth pick. I don't see any use for the other instruments. But...when it's a gift you receive it graciously.

You are right about equipment. It's not necessary to purchase all the expensive stuff you see at the outdoor stores but you do have to be knowledgeable and know how to take care of yourself. For me, the sleeping bag is probably the most important piece of equipment - along with some kind of...

...true - I carry bear spray (but never have used it), I have a sling shot (I haven't used that either), I have my survival knife and Swiss army knife (usually use the Swiss), I have a hatchet (I use it to cut small trees and prepare firewood). I just have never been in a situation that...

...like your avatar. - it looks like a tandem canoe. What brand/model?

Thanks killerroy154 - we are hoping for snow. Since I boast that I'm a four season camper I need to get out at least two or three times in the winter to sustain my credibility. :) We have snow in our region but absolutely nothing like some parts of the US - now that's snow! Man...how do I...

It's an interesting discussion for sure. I suppose it depends largely where one lives and kind of society you are engaged in. One can't be completely blind about social developments.
