My cousin's husband, Scott, and their son, Riley, went camping recently (they live in California, USA). Scott took several videos of animals and nature while they were there. Riley then took those videos and edited them to create this project set to music. It's quite beautiful. And then ... wait...

We enjoy trail riding as well as hunting trips. Both scenarios would lend themselves well to using a pack mule. We don't own a mule but I do have my 'love burro' as I affectionately refer to our BLM burro, Zen. Zen's job is only to look cute and give love. I say she's a herd guardian (as burros...

On our last camping trip, a close friend was seriously injured. We were riding horses up a trail far from camp that also happened to be narrow and heavily wooded. Thankfully, we had cell phone service up there (top of small 'mountain'). We were staying at a horse camp we frequent so we called...

Anyone have some good jerky recipes that are tried and true? I don't like it overly dry. I like it with some 'chew' to it and nice smoky flavor. I want to try making some in the very near future. I raise meat rabbits and it's a great thing to use the belly flap for, I'm told. It's also deer...

I was wondering what you more experienced water campers would suggest a newbie to kayaking look for when purchasing their first kayak. Both my husband and myself are new to it and would now like to purchase our own kayaks to use next summer. Thought this time of year we may be able to score some...

I thought it may be fun to share our funniest camping stories. I'll start, well, at the expense of my husband so I guess, technically, it is his funny camping story. One night while camping he really had to go relieve himself. He stumbled around in the dark and began to urinate... on a skunk...

My son spent a couple of months doing missions work in South Africa. While there, he was offered the opportunity to eat the Mopani worm (actually a caterpillar). He'll do, and eat, anything for a reaction so this didn't surprise me. They offered him a certificate if he ate one and he wanted the...

I figure most of us serious campers could be classified into one of two groups; nature lover or survivalist. I'm just curious as to how you would identify yourself since what drives us also determines our goals and what we hope to learn from our experiences. As a young girl, the woods is where...

I love to camp. I'm active. Yet, I am also no tiny little princess. I lost 100lbs following bariatric surgery and found myself wanting to be more active than ever. Trouble is, my calves remain bigger than your average gal, I guess, as I can't seem to find good wool socks that don't cut off my...

Sure we pack our favorite camping foods. We usually pack extra 'just in case'. But how many of you have favorite wild edibles or even just know what you could eat should you need to find food if you were to become stranded longer than expected while camping in the woods? Many species of...

I love to trail ride. I'm blessed to live in an area where there are many trails so I don't have to go far. I pretty much know these trails well enough around here to know which are horse-friendly and which are not, however, these things can change and I'm not confident enough to take new trails...

Hello fellow campers! My name is Janet. I'm a 46 year old grandma of six married to a man eight years my senior. We are both lovers of the great outdoors. I am Native American, of Blackfoot and Iroquois ancestry. My screen name, Onatah, means 'Daughter of the Earth'. My husband and I are blessed...
