Old trick keeps bugs off while camping outdoors. |
| 7/28/2009 1:52:24 PM |
| when my dad first told me about an odd way he used to keep bugs, fey's, and mosquitoes off him while enjoying his favorite outdoor sport of fishing and camping outdoors I thought he was pulling my leg. That was until I tried it and to my surprise it worked very well. When you are going to be camping outdoors or enjoying any outdoor sport, and want to keep all the nasty... Read More |

Can't Part with Old Hiking Gear |
| 7/28/2009 11:11:43 AM |
 I was cleaning my closet yesterday and ran across my first pair of good hiking boots. They don't fit well anymore so they're not a core part of my hiking gear. I learned my lesson on a serious backpacking trip about wearing hiking boots that don't fit perfectly. Even though I was sorting out camping gear yesterday, I decided I would keep those old boots because of all the... Read More |

Battery Operated Fan for Camping Outdoors |
| 7/28/2009 8:17:58 AM |
 It's the middle of summer and we love camping outdoors as much as anyone, but sometimes the afternoons get a little warm in the tent, with the solar radiation coming in and not getting out. We found this fan, however, that is the perfect solution for warm days inside the tent. It uses 4 D batteries and it's for Coleman tents, but it should work with any tent with a little... Read More |

 Camping Outdoors
In today's age of large RV's, and travel trailers it is easy to forget about the skills needed in camping outdoors.

Participate in an outdoor sport for a healthier you. |
| 7/27/2009 7:20:10 PM |
| Participating in an outdoor sport is a good way to get out of the house, loss a few pounds and make new friends. It does not matter what outdoor sport a person decides to participate in as long as the activity is something you enjoy and provides a modicum of exercise. Maybe camping outdoors is an outdoor sport that a newcomer will enjoy or possible golfing. I could list... Read More |

| 7/14/2009 11:58:00 AM |
 Next weekend we're driving to the mountains and are going to be camping outdoors. There isn't anything we would rather do than go camping. There is something so refreshing about spending a few days and nights under the sky, listening to the birds and just hanging out in lawn chairs or a hammock. At night we pile into this tent, which we bought online. We wanted to get a... Read More |

Add a foam cushion to your camping gear. |
| 7/12/2009 6:52:29 PM |
| One of the best camping gear items for camping outdoors in a tent and sleeping on the ground I have purchased is a foam cushion. Sleeping in a tent with only your sleeping bag between you and the ground is not very comfortable but when I added a foam cushion available at most online camping gear stores I experienced a new level of comfort while camping outdoors. These foam... Read More |

Very cool piece of camping gear. |
| 7/9/2009 5:56:54 PM |
| The outdoor sport of camping can be enjoyed twelve months out of the year depending on how weather proof your camping gear is and how hardy you are but the majority of camping outdoors enthusiasts are summer time campers. And this can be a hot time of year to sleep in a tent so what if you could cool your tent down as much as thirty degrees with a neat little piece of... Read More |

 Camping Outdoors
When I think of summer one of the first things to come to mind is camping outdoors. All year we are stuck inside working and going to school. To me there is nothing better than being in nature. Walking through the trees and sitting by the lake fishing is relaxing. Being out on the boat or just swimming near the shore is fun. I feel that camping outdoors can... Read More |

A good pair of boots are vital hiking gear. |
| 7/7/2009 7:23:03 PM |
| Of all the hiking gear items I own my hiking boots and a pair of quality heavy wool socks are at the top of my list of hiking gear. The outdoor sport of hiking is all about walking and in most cases climbing up hills so my hiking boots is where it all starts for me. Because the terrain I hike and camp on is mountainous I wear hiking boots that come up above the ankle for... Read More |

Bear Repellent Part of Our Camping Gear |
| 7/7/2009 2:49:02 PM |
 Over the Fourth of July we went camping outdoors and had an absolutely splendid time. We brought along the hiking gear and took several five mile hikes into the wilderness. We watched the trail closely because we were in bear and mountain lion country, and my kids sat around the campfire at night making up "what if" stories should they encounter a beast on the...

Fall and Winter Camping Calls for Better Camping Gear |
| 7/6/2009 6:57:01 AM |
 The summer heat is here, but I've been preparing for the cooler weather to come, and just ordered this sleeping bag as an essential part of my camping gear for fall and winter. This sleeping bag is good to 10 degrees fahrenheit, which is pretty chilly for camping weather. My sister and I are going to try to do some winter camping in the mountains of New Mexico this fall...
