Default Radio by the campfire

Do you guys take a radio with you to listen to out by the campfire? We usually take one with us but we don't always use it. Usually we won't unless we are a good distance from others.

If we use a radio at all it's the one from the truck. We don't own a small portable one. I don't think we'd use one if we did. My husband is a bit more obsessed with music than I am.

We usually have one with us although it doesn't always get used. We just have one of the hand crank ones so you don't have to worry about batteries.

We cannot go without music. We don't have to have it blaring, but we have to have it. We have portable radio that we listen to pretty much the whole time we are at the campsite.

Yes, we always bring a radio with us. We have it playing throughout the day when we're at the campsite, and then will have it on at night by the campfire before we turn in.

We bring a radio with us when we go camping. I find that having some music playing keeps the kids from trying to put their Ipods on. Then I can actually talk to them and they hear and respond to me.

I usually camp so far away from everyone else, no one could hear my radio even if I turned it up all the way.

Sometimes I even howl at the moon.

No way! Camping is to get away from all that and enjoy the sounds of nature!

I always have one but don't always use it. If the wife goes it's more likely to be used.

I love to have some background music at the campsite. Depending on what you're listening to, it can be quite relaxing. Even better is when I come across other campers that have acoustic guitars with them.
