Rallying the Troops for Outdoor Camping |
| 4/2/2010 5:21:00 PM |
 One of my friends has been on all of our cases trying to set up a weekend we can take time off for outdoor camping. The weather has finally become consistent enough to plan such a jaunt over a week in advance. We are finding it harder then expected to get five dudes with random work schedules to find the time off for such an adventure. With planning it is going to happen... Read More |

I Began Camping and Hiking As A Boy Scout |
| 4/2/2010 1:33:38 AM |
 My introduction to outdoor camping came with becoming a Boy Scout in 1953. I was in Troop 102 and at the time of my transition from Cub Scout to Boy Scout, my dad was the scoutmaster of the Troop. My dad had been a Boy Scout, achieving the level of Eagle Scout. I got as far as Star Scout. I started going on campouts with the troop before I was old enough to be a Boy Scout... Read More |

Outdoor camping memories |
| 3/29/2010 6:11:16 PM |
 It is a perfect, sunny, calm summer morning and the birds are chirping happily away. I get quietly dressed and slip out of my tent and stretch and take in the fresh tree smell. This is my favorite outdoor camping time, when everyone is still sleeping and I sit relaxing after I start making coffee over our outdoor camping stove. The smells of fresh coffee brewing and the...

Square Plates Are Perfect for Outdoor Camping |
| 3/17/2010 2:07:44 AM |
 It's time to get ready for outdoor camping in the mountains as soon as the weather heats up here in Phoenix and last weekend I went through the camping gear to see what we needed for the new season. I took a look at our dishes and decided we needed newer, lighter plates for outdoor camping and was thrilled when I searched online to see what our options were. I found these GS... Read More that are square, so won't take up as much space as our round glass plates did. And since these are Lexan, they won't break, either, if they fall to the ground. These plates for outdoor camping are a little over 8" square which is just perfect. We aren't big eaters to start with and one way we control our weight at home is to use our salad plates for the entree and the dinner plates for the salad. I started that about 10 years ago, and the kids have grown up eating that way, and we don't make any exceptions for outdoor camping. There are four of us, so I ordered eight plates, one for the main meal and the other for the salad. I didn't have to search long to find these sensible, attractive plates at at , a site with a lot of great products for outdoor camping and outdoors sports, too. I think the plates make perfect sense so when I get them, I'll wash them up and get them placed in the camping gear. The dinnerware box will be lighter and there will be more room in it, so I might tuck a candle holder or two in the space that we save with the square plates so we can have candlelight dinners, too. We had been using a camping lantern to illuminate the table, but candles are much more inviting.I have ordered many of our necessities for outdoor camping online and have enjoyed the savings and the ease of finding what we need. We go to big box stores for our groceries, but that's about all. Once in a while they have promotions on dinnerware but I've never seen anything this perfect for outdoor camping. They'll be easy to wash, lightweight to handle, and I love the color, too. It's fun to get new camping gear once in a while and we are looking forward to a wonderful summer in the tall pines of Arizona's mountains where we will be spending many a fun weekend escaping the heat of Phoenix in the summer.  |

Flashlights are Important Outdoor Camping Accessories |
| 3/17/2010 2:03:47 AM |
 I have never been outdoor camping in my entire life. My parents never cared for camping, so we never went. I never even had any friends who went camping. Now that I am an adult, with a husband and children, I'd like to try outdoor camping for the first time. If for nothing else just to say that I have been once. And I would love for my children to have the experience... Read More |

Hunting For Some Camping Hiking Golden Pebbles |
| 3/14/2010 12:45:09 PM |
Every time the family goes on camping hiking trip we come up with a very cool treasure hunt. The aim in our camping hiking treasure hunt is to find as many golden pebbles as you can and then exchange them for gifts. A week prior to our camping hiking some of us go to the grocery store and buy about three bags of dried garbanzo beans along with some gold spray paint. Then... Read More |

Outdoor camping with my kids |
| 3/6/2010 2:58:27 PM |
 When I was young, I belonged to the Girl Scouts and we participated in camping and outdoor activities to win merit badges. Not too many kids today belong to the Scouts and I think they are missing a lot of fun. My husband and I have decided that we should get the kids interested in outdoors sports and we should go outdoor camping instead of camping in front of the TV. I... Read More |

Setting a Nice Table Important Even When We're Outdoor Camping |
| 2/25/2010 12:07:55 AM |
 When we go outdoor camping, we like to have colorful camping gear with us, and today I found this practical way to bring a little color and decoration into our eating utensils and plates and all the other things that need to be on the table to eat a meal. This includes service for four which is plenty for us and the silverware is actually stainless steel, not plastic. The... Read More |

Camping Hiking and Spotting a Coyote |
| 2/24/2010 2:32:59 PM |
 The clouds were beginning to burn off as I rolled out of my sleeping bag with the smell of sausage and the sound of crackling bacon grease on the BBQ. A friend was up with the rising sun preparing some breakfast protein for our upcoming hike through the forest. One of us is still in the tent as breakfast is forked onto paper plates. Instead of waking him up the polite way... Read More |

Why I Love Outdoor Camping |
| 2/24/2010 2:07:42 PM |
 The scent of musky city pollution is nowhere near us. The white pickup truck bounces up and down the rocky trail snaking back and forth up a mountain high above the desert Saguaro cacti we left after 20 minutes driving north on the freeway. As I stare out the rear cab window at tall Pines sprouting out of the brown dust covered terrain, our outdoor camping hear bounces... Read More |

Garmin GPS Perfect for Outdoor Camping in the Wilderness |
| 2/16/2010 2:32:10 PM |
 We are getting ready for the spring and summer outdoor camping season and I've worked hard on getting our camping gear well organized so that when the urge hits us to go camping, we're ready within an hour or so. There are some amazing places for outdoor camping within 20 miles of home, so it's not hard for us to pull off a three day camping trip with very little to do to... Read More |

Outdoor Camping Conveniences Make a Big Difference |
| 2/15/2010 11:32:49 PM |
 Spring break is coming up soon and my family is going to go outdoor camping for most of the week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but even if it doesn't, we will go anyway. We are considering renting a small RV for the trip so we can bring along my mom who loves outdoor camping but likes human comforts while enjoying the great outdoors. She and my dad used to have a...

An Outdoor Camping Dilemma |
| 2/15/2010 6:58:24 PM |
 I get a call from a friend this morning who asks if I have any weekend plans. Being Monday and generally not planning activities this far ahead I respond hesitantly with no. He then pitches me the idea of getting some people together for outdoor camping in a desert spot about two hours away. It sounds like a great idea as long as I can get work off. My other dilemma is... Read More |

I always bring first aid kits when on outdoor camping trips! |
| 2/13/2010 3:05:09 AM |
 I have always loved to go on amazing outdoor camping trips in the outback ever since I was a teeny toddler and my parents took me on my very first outdoor camping trip. Ever since that day, oh so long ago, I have enjoyed very much so, the many different adventures that outdoor camping trips can yield. For me, there is nothing that I enjoy more than escaping from the... Read More

 There are some awesome outdoor camping trips that I have planned for this year so far, and I think that if I counted them all up there would be about six or seven that my family is planning on embarking upon; we all love outdoor camping trips in this clan. That being said, I have been gathering up all of my outdoor camping trips gear and just looking over what other items... Read More

Lexan Martini Glasses Perfect for Outdoor Camping |
| 2/2/2010 11:05:25 PM |
 Today when I was looking online for new camping gear, I found a perfect martini glass for a family friend who has a late afternoon ceremony of sipping a martini after he gets home from work or outdoor camping. He has a reputation for going through martini glass after martini glass. These are the GSI LEX Martini Glasses and I ordered four of them for him, not because they... Read More |

Some tropical outdoor camping is coming up for me! |
| 2/2/2010 10:02:07 AM |
 My younger brother Douglas lives in beautiful and serene Long Beach, California. I am planning on heading out there to visit with him for about a week towards the end of this month, and I just can’t wait to arrive there—as it has been quite a while since I was in CA. We are going to do some beachside, tropical outdoor camping while there, and my brother has told me that... Read More
