Hi everyone, I'm desperate to try and help my family in PR. They have no water or power and are drinking rain water. I found out the main branch of their post office is finally open for pickups and I'm trying to send small stuff that can make it through. Does anyone have suggestions? They are...

Wow that's a really beautiful spot. I can't wait until we can start getting a little more adventurous. My grandpa has a buddy from his old Vietnam days, I call him Uncle Pete. They have always gotten together and told stories from their army days. One in particular stood out to me as a child...

How.......? I can't imagine that's comfortable lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In fact we have blueberries and wild pokeberry on our property. I'm kinda worried about it so we cut it down when we see it, but I've definitely talked to my daughter about it. Especially since we've been looking for elderberry. I found some Hercules club, as well, so I always demonstrate how to...

Definitely blessings and joy, he's a sweet little guy. He's got Freddie Krueger claws like his slightly-older brother lol. My mom actually converted her truck. Her co-workers call it the Zombie Apocalypse truck. My kids call it the snack truck. Most people that I've seen do it definitely...

Ha yes. I'm debating on what kind of potty to get. The kids have one already since we visit my family about once a week. My daughter packs it in her backpack for hikes, bike and fishing trips. Never fails. We've even joked we'll miss the eclipse cause she'll have to poop. Other than the potty...

That's great. We love hammocks. That might be a good idea for when the kiddos are older. We actually have hammocks in the house lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know I haven't been on here in forever lol. Lots of life getting in the way of camping, but anyway... We're nerds and we wanted to go see the solar eclipse. The path of totality is about 6 hrs away and everything... I mean everything, has been booked for weeks! Every camp ground, even the...

I guess it's more fun if they're raised outdoorsy. We just got internet today and the kids haven't asked to watch a single thing today even though the older two know it's set up. They've watched maybe one movie since we've been here. So they're definitely a lot of fun outside and it's really...

I would definitely like to have something like that. I end up hand washing. Shoot I would use that at home lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks :) We have a stainless steel plate and multi-utensil for each person and a no wash, no eat policy lol. Even my three year old washes his own, now. Our cooking gear is a little more bulky due to the amount of food we have to cook and most "convenience" foods aren't on the safe list...

Um well mine is from my name, Melissa. My husband insisted my nickname would be Missy when we met when everyone else called me Meli. I've heard that people read my username as "iffy", but it was a term he came up with to say I "missyified" something to say I put my spin on it. Sent from my...

I like the first set. I try to go reusable with everything, even at home (such as cloth diapers and wipes). We had a cheap version of the last kit and the coating peeled off. The first kit appeals to me because it's simple, doesn't have too many pieces to keep track of or break. Looks like it's...

That ol Eli Whitney. That's funny lol. I've never even thought about the cotton gin since that dusty paragraph in a textbook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a Fitbit but I had a reaction to the band [emoji30]. I loved that thing. I think I'm going to get a vivosmart since the band is thinner and it's also waterproof. At my new drs office, they even state on the papers that exercise is regular, *scheduled* physical activity, not "chasing...

I'm into biomechanics and natural movement so my kids always always always hike/walk lol. They have bikes, but that is more like "dessert" exercise. I won't get into much detail about that aspect, but even though we do hiking, the kids end up riding their bikes in front of the camp especially if...

I think I commented on one of Grace's posts that was similar? My oldest will start homeschool next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Basically the same thing as a rope hammock, yeah. It's a wooden rectangular frame and we tied rope to it. She has a foam mat on top of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Indeed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm more worried about my kids walking through Washington DC and getting shot at or run over or whatever else lol. We survived The Wiggles. However, we're pretty awesome to the kids for the time being! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
