    Big Savings on Camping Gear

    While the deal which you mentioned is great but if you are not short on time, do take a look at the Chinese websites which ship worldwide. I personally get my camping gear from there and have got quite a few good deals as well. The only downside is that it make take up-to 30 days for it to reach...

    Camping In Groups

    Group camping is much better but the only problem is that you often end up having a lot of things to carry along with you. Also, it becomes slow to move if you are travelling in a group as you end-up waiting for everyone to get ready. With that being said, the safety factor which you mentioned...

    Heading Out

    I personally always prefer to travel light whether it is for kayaking or normal camping. However, sometimes when you are travelling in a group, things can get stacked up pretty quickly. Good luck for the trip. The pictures look good. By the way do drop us a line after the camping regarding how...

    Self-Made Fishing Spear?

    We choose a deceased sapling but a recently deceased one which still had a few green leafs. The trick here is to choose the size of the sapling such that you do not have to carve much out of it and you have to just sharpen it. Also, we went with the hard wood options like locust to get this...

    Torn Camping Clothes?

    I have tried khaki with the same result that is getting torn but I guess I will move on to denims from now on, if they can last longer. Yes, that is another thing which I need to change because due to the pockets in the clothes, my clothes are often baggy and I would try to change them to...

    Do you know how to swim?

    Yes I know how to swim, but swimming under the controlled conditions of a swimming pool and swimming in a fast flowing river, both are completely different experiences. Due to the flow and the current in the river, I haven't swam during camping. In the areas where I usually camp, the current of...

    Do You Worry About Creatures in The Water?

    Personally if its a fast flowing river, I usually do not worry about the creatures in there, because at the most it would be fish, but if its like a slow moving one or almost stagnant that's when the problem arises, because a lot of creatures can make such rivers there home and they get all...

    Torn Camping Clothes?

    My friends and I often carve out our own path when it comes to camping and in the process, go through some very dense wilderness. Often-times, in spite of wearing camping clothes, we often end-up tearing them by getting them stuck in the bushes. My question is, are there any specific clothes...

    Self-Made Fishing Spear?

    Hi, Earlier this year, I had forgotten to bring my fishing rod along with me to a camp. It was by the riverside and therefore, lots of opportunities to catch fish. I was dejected that I would not be able to catch any. That's when one of my friends suggested we make a spear ourselves. It took 4...

    Have you ever willingly eaten insects?

    I personally always just have plenty of energy bars with me. This ensures that I almost always do not have to rely on eating insects or anything moving. I usually have snickers along with me, which are both highly energetic and also pretty small and portable and do not increase the weight by a...
