Every time I leave the pavement, I take along my trusty hiking pack even if I have no intention of hiking. Doing this has become a habit rather than a conscious decision. My pack goes with me when a hike, camp, hunt, fish, bird watch and even when I drive out of town. I've been a boy scout and a United States Marine so I suppose I have learned to be prepared for almost anything. My pack is full...

Here is how I built a Tipi for use on camping trips. I don't have pictures of the process of cutting, peeling and smoothing the poles. My two Son's and I harvested the 25 foot pines in a small stand in the middle of a cedar swamp. The pines were growing so thick that they only had branched near the tip. They all grew very straight and tall as they had to compete for the sun light. I...

Have you ever stopped at a rest stop on a long trip and noticed one of those signs for a "trail" and thought to yourself, "How much of a trail can there be at a rest stop?" I have plenty of times, but my attitude was changed this last weekend.
My sister left some soda in her camp trailer this winter. One of the cans exploded and leaked all over her f...

I like Simon Eller's approach to figuring out what first-aid items to bring for camping safety. He simply asks himself, what are the most common camping mishaps that can happen, let me prepare for that.By the way, when Simon Eller says 'plaster', that's band-aid.
