High Quality LED Strobe Lights Good to Have in Camping Gear |
| 10/6/2009 11:26:33 AM |
 I was pondering what to give to people for Christmas this year, and decided on this 4-light outdoor strobe that is waterproof. It has LED lights, so the batteries will last forever, and having an emergency strobe is a good thing to carry as camping gear, and even just to have in the car. I found this one online and ordered 10 of them, one for everyone who gets a gift from... Read More |

Recharging Camping Gear Online |
| 10/2/2009 4:05:36 PM |
 With the start of October, temperatures are finally starting to cool off here on the southern portion of the west coast, opening the doors for camping outdoors adventures. Sure the summer is great to set up a tent but it is even better when the weather doesn’t have you melting away at the site. My buddy told me a camping story he had during the August heat outside of... Read More |

Camping Outdoors is the Best! |
| 9/15/2009 7:07:41 AM |
As summer wanes the idea of camping outdoors in the fall and winter comes to mind. Don't you love fall with all the colors? When camping outdoors I like to bring along my hiking gear and do the trails through the crimson and gold colored leaves of fall. The smells are wonderful as the hiking path winds up and down through the creek and finally ends up at a beautiful... Read More |

Buying Camping Gear for Trip Down the Colorado |
| 9/14/2009 10:22:03 AM |
 This fall we are going down the Colorado on a river rafting trip, and the outfitters said we should bring along plenty of waterproof bags to keep our clothes and valuables dry. We were reading the details of the packet they sent us and made a list of the camping gear we need for this adventure. This is going to be one fine trip. I've read John Wesley Powell's account of...

Hanging the Hiking Gear as LA Fires Rage |
| 9/2/2009 11:28:03 AM |
 This is my first year living in Southern California. I always knew about the annual wild fires but this year history has been made (video showing scope below) after a nearby wildfire has consumed hundreds of thousands of acres in the largest brush fire ever seen in LA history. That is saying something considering this natural disaster strikes every year. They’re saying the... Read More with Video |

Hurricane Weather Coming - Won't Be Camping Outdoors This Holiday |
| 9/2/2009 9:33:37 AM |
 Labor Day weekend looms, and we are heading to a cooler climate to get out and get some exercise. More than likely, it'll just be a day trip because the weather is uncertain for camping outdoors. There is a big hurricane blowing up from the south and by the time it gets here, it'll bring lots of wind and rain which is not exactly conducive to a lot of outdoor sports. But... Read More |

We will be going camping outdoors in the Blue Ridge Mountains next month. The leaves will be turning, and the weather will be perfect. This is our yearly family vacation, and we love camping, fishing and hiking in that beautiful location. This year, I went online and discovered some more equipment I felt we needed. I ordered an Eureka Apex Pack Packing Tent and a... Read More |

Neighbor's Dog Makes a Good Companion When Camping Outdoors |
| 9/1/2009 11:56:55 AM |
 We live in Phoenix where the summers are so hot, so when we look for relief from the heat, the first thing we turn to is camping outdoors in the beautiful mountains in Arizona. The temperature falls 3.5 degrees F per every 1,000 feet of elevation gain, so our goal is to get as high as we can for out camping outdoors. There are tradeoffs, however. If we get too high, the...

First Time Camping Outdoors |

 Camping Outdoors
This is the year we try real camping outdoors. So far I have only let my kids sleep in the tent, in the back yard with me keeping an eye on them all night. This weekend I am taking them camping outdoors for real. We will be out in the woods, by the lake and no running indoors if it rains. I have our camp site booked and everything is packed and ready to go.... Read More |

Colder weather requires insulated camping gear. |
| 8/31/2009 5:29:21 PM |
| Many people wind up their camping outdoors when cold weather arrives but their are still many campers who enjoy the outdoor sport of camping outdoors even when snow is falling. Many of these hardy individuals camp in a RV or pull behind camping trailer so they can get by with camping gear that is not rated for extreme conditions. Others like to go the full way and camp in... Read More |

Solar Products a Big Part of Our Camping Gear |
| 8/28/2009 10:19:36 AM |
 When I am camping outdoors, I bring all the solar camping gear I have. I have a solar shower that heats water, a solar powered radio, and several solar ovens for cooking. I bought all of these products online. It's so great to be able to use the sunshine to power things that we would normally have to use batteries for. It is estimated that 1,000 of watts per meter fall on... Read More |

New Camping Gear for the Family |
| 8/13/2009 1:19:54 PM |
The old camping gear was utilized to the fullest, and many great memories were made. So, we went online, and we found exactly what was needed to fit our "empty nest" needs. We ordered an Eureka Adventure Backpacking Tent. Downsizing when camping outdoors has been a new experience. We love to go camping and hiking; but, we also love the swimming and fishing....

Handy Solar Water Heating Bag New Part of Our Camping Gear |
| 8/11/2009 4:04:35 PM |
 Today I bought a 5 gallon solar water heater for when we are camping outdoors and want to take a shower. Absolutely nothing feels better than taking a nice warm shower after a long hike, and later in the afternoon, that water will be really warm. In fact, there is a warning on the bag saying to test the water temperature before showering with it because it could be too hot... Read More |

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 |

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 |

Teaching The Kids The Fine Art Of Camping Outdoors |
| 7/28/2009 7:58:35 AM |
 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. There is nothing better than grabbing your camping gear, hitting a trail, and finding a quiet brook, or lake shore, to set up your camp. A tent, sleeping bag, campfire, and something to cook in and you have everything you need for a relaxing... Read More |

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 |

Heavy Duty Tent Is Essential Camping Gear During Thunderstorm Season |
| 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 |
