Outdoor Camping Gets You Back to Nature |
| 1/24/2010 9:02:39 PM |
 When I was just a girl, my family and I went outdoor camping every spring and summer. We were the most popular campers at the campground because my Mom made sure we had every creature comfort under the sun while we "roughed it" outdoors. There was nothing better than the smell of fresh-caught crawdads and catfish from the camping stove while the sounds of soda... Read More |

My Love of Outdoor Camping |
| 1/22/2010 5:02:56 PM |
I call myself a woman of nature. For me, walking through the outdoors taking in the simple but majestic scenery is heaven on earth. I love taking a day hike but my favorite is outdoor camping for a day or two. Camping hiking is taking some quality time just for me to ponder the world’s beauty.
I recently decided to go online and plan my next trip. I came across an awesome... Read More |

Outdoor camping equipment comes in handy after storms |
| 1/21/2010 4:24:42 PM |
 It is very cozy here in the southwest this past week. We have been hit with a lot of rain and the winds are picking up. We need the rain desperately, but it is coming in one big storm. This weather reminds me of rainy, windy storms when I lived in the northwest. These gusty storms happened a couple of times a year, and it would knock out the power for a period of time. I...

Outdoor Camping With a Wilderness Photographer |
| 12/20/2009 11:58:25 AM |
My favorite seasons are the spring and the fall. Do you know why? Outdoor camping! The summers are brutally hot where I live, so camping during this time is not a very good idea. But just before the weather gets too hot, or once it begins to cool down, are the ideal times for outdoor camping. This year, before the winter months set in, I managed to invite myself on one...

Cooking on my Camping Stove |

Looking back on my life, I have some of my fondest memories of being in scouts, and cooking with our camping stove.

Outdoor Camping means Outdoor Cooking! |
| 12/16/2009 8:23:04 PM |
One of the best things about outdoor camping is the outdoor cooking! My family is an energetic bunch and I cannot get them to stop once they rise on an outdoor camping trip morning. After a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns made from fresh potatoes, onions and bell peppers, bacon and camp toast they are off on a hike or fishing or to play touch football.

LED Flashlights-Shed Some Light On It |
| 12/1/2009 7:37:04 AM |
| We sure have come a long way since the days of using torches to light our way in the dark. However, with recent advances in luminescence technology, using your old incandescent light bulb flashlight or kerosene lantern is just as barbaric. If you haven’t taken the time to upgrade your arsenal of portable lights to light emitting diode (LED) technology, then consider this... Read More |
