We are not avid fishermen. We have tried the fake bait that you can get at Walmart and they don't seem to work as well as the real worms. The only fishing we do is in the lake off the dock, so as I say, really not much experience.

What fun for the kids! I have never heard of this before. I am going to give it a try next summer when we go camping. I can make the eggs and the kids can cook the biscuits.

We had an offer on ebay for the motor home, but then realized that ebay charged us $120 if it sold, so we took it off. It has been out front of our house for sale and one day someone stopped with cash in hand. We were asking $500 or b/o and the handed us the $500...little do they know we would...

The worst part of camping for me is when the season is over and it is time to store everything from the trailer. I take and put everything in totes and store them in my basement. Do you leave your trailer stocked, or do you empty it out?

I bet it depends on the area where you live. The laws are different everywhere when it comes to water safety. If you go diving on vacation with a group you don't have to be certified, but the person in charge of the group does.

I love buying chicken bbq dinners, but can never seem to make the same tasting chicken on my own. My son insists that if you are cooking chicken, you need to soak it in salt water for 1 hour before adding any spices to it. He did make our last bbq and it was great! Here is a recipe that I...

Do you set a certain amount of money aside in your budget for camping? I find when we do go camping, we spend a fortune. Between paying the fee to stay at the campground, the groceries, the extra snacks and drink, it seems like we are spending a fortune.

We don't go camping in the winter either. We still try to do some winter activities with the kids. At the camp we usually go to they have a polar bear swim in the middle of winter. Last year we took the kids to watch the crazy men jump in the freezing lake! It was a fun time.

I am the same. I seem to snack all day long when I am camping. My problem is the cocktails too! We always seem to have a drink in our hand and if not, a neighbor supplies us with one.

Have you ever gone camping with a bunch of snorers? You know, they snore so loud that it keeps you awake all night! Once my family stopped and camped on the way to Florida. There were 9 of us in a popup. Everyone in that Trailer snored! I was awake all night:( What do you do to sleep...

The cornish game hens is a great idea! I also would never think about garlic bread. I do like the crockpot meals, especially when it is colder in the evening. I think that the kids even get tired of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs.

I was also wondering if there were special codes that needed to be followed. They had open decks, so if you were to trip, you would go right over the edge and it was quite a ways down! I was a little freaked out when the kids would get too close to the edge of the decking.

It seems like everytime we go camping, we end up eating the same things....burgers, hotdogs, ribs. What are some good meals that you make when camping. It would be nice to try something different once in a while.

No thank you! When my mother was younger, she took a shortcut across a field and there was a bull in the field! It got her right in the side and she still has the scars! I would stay clear of bulls. As for mechanical bulls, my son is great on these. He is the only one I have ever seen...

Well the camper has been outfront for a week for sale. It was also on ebay, but he took it off because of the $120 fee if it sells. He did get bids on it from ebay too, so I think he is going to relist it only locally. Many people have came and looked....hopefully it will sell without the...

They rent RV's in our town also. My son has an RV and he loves it! He is 21 and just bought it last summer. The nice thing with RV's is that you can rent them with slideouts so there is a ton of room in them once you set them up. I think it would be fun for your grandma.

Sounds wonderful! I love twice baked potatoes too. I always make just regular baked on the campfire, so next time twice baked will be on the menu.

There is nothing worse that actually going camping on what is suppose to be a nice weekend and then it ends up raining. At least you knew ahead of time. We missed alot of camping weekends this summer because of rain. Hopefully you can get a few good weekends in.

It all depends on how your dog is around other people. If she barks alot, I would not take her. We brought our Jack Russell and she drove us crazy! Every noise outside she was up and pacing. During the day she was barking at all the other campers. I have seen some people who bring dogs...

Some of you know that my son has a motor home. It won't pass inspection so we came up with a plan to get rid of it. The only problem is we don't know if it is legal. What if we print up some raffel tickets and sell them for $5 each. The winner gets the motor home. If he can sell 100...
