    Am I a wimp?

    Dinosaur has a point there just imagine a flash flood and you would be one of the only survivors. I also agree that wanting a comfortable night sleep does not make you a wuss or wimp. Not standing up for what you want is what makes people wimps.

    One of the things I hate worse than anything is getting out camping on the river bank and getting eaten up by sand fleas. Does anyone know of anything to repel them?

    Geocaching

    Have many of you done geochaching? This sounds awesome and I think the whole family would enjoy it as a day out. I am sure it could be done camping or hiking or where ever too.

    I love to ride horses but my husband is terrified of them. When he was younger he got bit, kicked and hurt by his uncle's horses. Then about two years ago he flipped his truck trying to avoid hitting a horse on his way to work, so no more horseback riding for me. Do you know anyone who has a...

    Tents and Luxuries

    What type of luxuries do you bring along when you camp out in a tent? Do you bring a TV or DVD player? What about a fan for the hot nights? With me it depends on where we go to camp at and if there is electricity.

    Where is your favorite place to camp and why? There are a couple of campgrounds that my family really enjoy going to and we have the option of tents or cabins.
