According to your experiences, what is the most tamed breed of horses to ride? My friend want to buy a horse and he ask for my advice. He doesn't know and care about the breeds. "I just want a horse I can ride easily without him throwing me off his back." That's all what he needs.

Yes, when I get time, I occasionally dig up my own bait. You will have no issue keeping the worms alive provided that you dig for them right before you go fishing.

I hate the word "work". I notice that even a hobby we are fond the most will gives us less fun when we start doing it for work instead of for pleasure. Do you think fishing would still be fun if you did it to make a living?

Yes, stars are better and less boring than sheep. I also had a habit of counting stars in my childhood. By the way, did you ever wonder how many stars in the sky are?

I go for plain water as well. Sport drinks contain either too much sugar (as Outdooruser said) or artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Aspartame contains phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol or wood alcohol, all of which harm our health.

I have a friend whose father taught him fishing when he was still 3 year old! Can you imagine it? At that age, he wasn't even bigger than the trout he tried to catch LOL (just kidding, of course he was).

Similar to Greengrass, I always take leftovers from dinner for the next breakfast if any, so we don't need to waste any food. Well, actually I prefer healthier food for breakfast like fruits and milk.

Of course we always expect our camping trips to be fun and enjoyable. That's why we go camping. But sometimes things go wrong and our camping trip doesn't go the way we want it does. How was the worst camping days you have ever experienced?

It's a great option, using which you don't need to sleep outside to watch the sky and the stars. Is there any tent which has a transparent plastic layer under (or on) the flap so that you don't need to worry about the rain either?

If there were no other children with us, I would be confident to let him have a pocket knife. You know, something can always go wrong when there are two or more children involved, and a pocket knife will only make the situation worse.

Yes, of course if he/she is someone I know, I wouldn't doubt to pick the person. But that's interesting about stopping for a woman. Do you think picking up a woman is "less dangerous" than picking up a man?

Mosquitoes are not mean. They want to survive just like us. How could they survive if they didn't take humans or other animals' blood? Still I hate them. To keep them from sucking your blood, a mosquito net will do the trick.

It's OK to eat snacks in tent especially in the evening, but we always take meals outside, be it under trees or around the campfire. We always try to keep the tent clean.

I love chocolate except the melted one. If I felt hungry and lack of energy but I don't want to eat heavy meal, chocolate is the best option for me.

Do you usually pick up hitch-hikers from the street? I have mixed feelings about them. Many people said you will just risk yourself by helping them, but what if they are genuine and really need help?

Yes, you are a good fire team. :) Like CFlyer, we (myself and some friends or family) don't usually keep the fire burning during my sleeping time at night. It's way too dangerous especially in summer, except there is always someone to take care of it.

During your camping trips, have you ever slept under the sky? I mean not sleeping in a tent, but doing it outside without anything between the sky and yourself. How did it feel?

I appreciate their effort to always look great whenever and wherever they are. I think it doesn't hurt for the ladies to have light make up during their hike, though it's not necessary.

Those plants along the trails and on the sites always amaze me. I love them but I prefer to leave them in the place they originally grow. Don't forget the rules of thumb in hiking and camping: take only pictures, leave only footprints. :)

Yes I tend to eat more when camping or hiking, but my body deserves it because I exert so much energy. I think as long as the calories you burn are more than the calories you take (which is mostly the case during those activities), you don't need to worry about gaining weight.
