Fifty five is young ! If she wants to learn to swim then encourage her, if she doesn't then leave her be and provide her with a safety vest if she wants to paddle in deeper water, go on boats etc.

It's about time that I educate myself about what wild food I can safely eat. I see so many mushrooms and berries that are tempting. Then I wonder why the animals haven't eaten them - so I leave them well alone.

Camping should be a "green" activity – but the packaged, dried and tinned food plus their cooking equipment is not very green. In 2011 I'm going to buy more locally produced food and generally support local business more. It seems like the right thing to do - but will it help climate...

I want to have a go at night fishing and could do with some advice about headlamps - models, battery life, quality of light etc. Does anybody have any recommendations ?

I've never heard of "hammock camping" before but I have to say that it appeals to me. It has to be more lightweight than regular tent camping. Ideal for a one-night trip. I'd also be interested in advice re: gear.

Hi there, my name is Frederico I am a currency trader, originally from Lima now living in the US. I love to combine camping and fishing trips - they help me to maintain my sanity !
