    Cooking on a Park Pit

    For me to feel safe with a park grill I would wrap the bars of the grill in tin foil. Then you dont have to worry about the grill part being clean enough to cook on.

    Camping----Just Go!

    I agree with sarah,if you get out of it you kind of stay out of it. Once you get going again,theres no stopping you.

    Yum...Magets and worms and centipedes and flies and rotting flesh in a hot sun. Nope not for me. But yes I have heard of people doing it.What I have heard(this is far from first hand experince)is that the meat is ruined when hit by a car. It cause internal bleeding or somthing or another. I...

    Lightning

    You know I am not to sure how to answer that. I would imagine if you are close to the opening sqaut down on the balls of just your feet. Now if you are half a mile or more back I dont know if you would have to do that. My fear of being in a cave during a lightningstorm would be if it hit the...

    River crossings

    That what my wife was wearing in that picture. We always have water shoes just for times like that. Summer times not so much as our feet can dry pretty quick, but spring with all the snowmelt it is a good thing to have so you dont have wet cold feet walking in snow

    River crossings

    If it is an easy stream, just leave youe shoes/boots on and go! If it is fast moving use hiking poles or find some sticks to help you stay upright, remember to keep your feet as low as possible to the bottom and walk at an angle up stream to the other side with your shoes on. Remeber to put your...

    Do you rough it, or bring luxuries?

    A blow up bed can be a great thing when camping during a rainy season. If the bottom of your tent floods,you,your blankets,sleeping will be soaked(ask me how I know). At least up on a bed you are a few inches above the floor and might stay dryer.

    What part of your gear needs replacing most often?

    For the most part my gear seems to last really well. If I tear my tent I just duct tape it up. But pants and knee pads are the only things that get replaced often. Running around on jagged lava flows can be brutal on pants and knee pads doing lava caves. But the actual camping gear like...

    Camping----Just Go!

    Me and my wife have the same setup. Some plastic tubs all loaded up,just grab them and go,after I put food in the cooler of course. We can be packed up in less than an hour.But what makes us get up and go is the things trying to hold us down.Camping is easy. Take of friday night,spend two nights...

    Camp oven

    Well hiking would not pratical. But I think winter camping when its snowing or raining it would be fun. When the wind is blowing hard and snowing on you a good big warm meal would be nice. Last year for valentines day me and my wife camped at the wind was blowing so hard,it was snowing and down...
