I would think that this is an essential item to carry. Even though you may have a map or GPS, there may be times when the compass would come in handy. It would also be a fun activity if you are traveling with school age children.

Grandpa - wow 6 months! That's amazing! But I think you have a point, it all depends on how comfortable we are with camping and we are pretty much newbies. Luckily our kids are slightly past the infancy stage!

I think roasting marshmallows is an activity that I associate with a campfire. I also associate listening to ghost stories with a campfire, although I am such a wuss and would probably cover my ears!

Is it me, or does it seem that these types of infections keep happening much more frequently? Or maybe it is because we live in such a media obsessed world. Regardless, this type of information scares the heck out of me!

I agree, that sounds delicious! It also seems very simple to make. I will have to add this to my long list of recipes to try.

That sounds like a fun activity to do with the kids! I would also think of taking plastic utensils with me because then I wouldn't be that upset if they got lost.

When we plan our trip I intend to bring along some activities to keep the children entertained. I was thinking board games would be a good idea for time spent indoors. I also plan on finding some type of nature activity kits that they can do during the day.

I have never been camping myself but always just thought that if we did plan a trip, we would just take enough items for each day and just wash them by hand as needed.

I hail from New York but am currently living in Michigan with my husband and three kids. I would love to learn more about camping, hiking and generally doing more outdoors! I want to give my children different experiences and get them more active instead of them just watching TV all the time!
