Well perhaps its not exactly what you're looking for, but those (rather expensive, I do admit) energy bars made of oats that are covered in chocolate or whatever are usually something I take with, along with some Jelly Beans and a few cylinders of Pringles. Pair that with a bottle of Coke and...

I would agree that some sort of camping survival kit like This one would be my top priority. It should include stuff like a Swiss army knife esque tool that has all the essential pieces like a screw driver, plier, assorted knives, e.t.c. A torch, fire starter, knife/machete, compass, rope, some...

That looks scary as hell. I would run and never stop if I saw that. How did it even get up there? I never bears could climb trees? Either way, that is probably one of the most terrifying things you could ever see while walking back to your tent after a nice stroll through the forest.

I don't have an exact picture of my own since putting an image onto my laptop is a painful process but I does look identical to this one I found. I like the more modern looking knives.

I wouldn't know as I was talking hypothetically but you're right in saying that one would need to find a camp that is going to stay there for a long time. With regards to trees growing, I would assume there are compensation systems in place like steel brackets that allow some movement or...

I remember watching this show on Animal Planet called Tree House Masters where a guy named Pete Nelson goes around building big, custom tree houses for his clients. Some of his creations were truly impressive, I was especially fond of the modern, more opulent homes that were small but provided...

I do have this handy pair of scissors that you can split in half and turn into whatever you perceive two sharp objects to be, you can use them like a ninja and stab whatever is attacking you or you can just use them as handy tools. I do also have this beautiful knife that has on the blade what...

With regards to weather preferences, I personally love the rain and to me its more depressing seeing blue skies than it is seeing overcast skies. This is mainly due to the fact that all my best childhood memories involved sitting inside with a warm cup of coffee and listening to the rain hit the...

I also can't see any of the media that is posted on the forums. I'm personally no fan of sewing as I have never tried it and I don't have a wife at my disposal but that does seem like a really neat and intuitive modification, well done.

I usually stick to the more open areas for the sake of my safety from not only animals but people, I do live in South Africa after all so anything goes. The firework sticks thing reminds me of the time I was camping as a 13 year old with a group of friends and some hunters at a little camping...

A pack grill is nice because, especially if you can fold it up, it does save a lot of space being flat and all. Its also a great way to suspend whatever you're grilling and can be easily cleaned and packed up again. I guess you could also use a pack grill for other foods like potatoes or to boil...

Due to my parents always over packing and hoarding, which made me go insane when I was a kid, I always pack light. I prefer a more organized and efficient lifestyle so as a result I usually only pack enough food to satisfy myself, not extra. I usually just pack some meat to go on the fire, steak...

Unfortunately the same error occurs, perhaps my account needs to have more posts/be active for longer to gain permission?

It seems that when I try to click any of these things it takes me to a page stating that I don't have permission to view or perform this action. Same applies to a few pieces of media (forgot whether they were videos or pictures) that have been posted on these forums before.

That looks rather impressive, I never new people suspended tents up in trees like that, a rather smart strategy for staying safe in dangerous areas. I would think that you'd need some sort of strong, reinforced surface at the bottom so that you don't end up falling through the floor though. It...

Well done on that makeshift hammock, pretty smart using what is usually a readily available resource on most beaches. Hammocks are popular because they are effective, comfortable and easy to make. They also help against insects and things you don't want getting hold of you at night. It is said...

Thanks for the informative replies. I've come to the conclusion that some sort of trailer would be way better. I don't camp often enough to spend tons of money on a full-fledged vehicle and a trailer would be much more suitable. I've given it some thought and just having a small trailer and a...

For some reason it just seems more normal to have Spring at this time of the year, its Autumn here now and well, its supposed to be Autumn... I guess there are only two seasons where I live and those are hot and cold. They are at any time of the year and there is literally no indication of when...

Nice article, that Swedish log fire looks especially awesome. I guess there will always be those who don't know how to do this or how to do that, we can't all know everything. Most people who are new to camping these days would just take a matchbox or a lighter with them, eliminating the need to...

Now I personally don't have any great ones to share that are taken by me as I don't have a good enough camera at the moment, but I've always looked at this one for inspiration as I've found it to be just plain beautiful, mainly because I love overcast weather. I'm not a huge fan of heavy...
