New Backpacking Tent for Outdoor Camping Fits the Bill |
| 1/29/2010 2:30:19 AM |
 This weekend we're planning on going outdoor camping because we got our new tent yesterday. The weather is going to be perfect in the lower Sonoran desert, and I'm getting the camping gear ready today for a three day weekend. We ordered a backpacking tent because we might start hoofing it again instead of car camping and liked all the features of this tent for outdoor... Read More |

Dutch Oven and Camping Stove |
| 1/28/2010 5:17:10 AM |
There is nothing like a homemade stew made in the dutch oven over the camping stove. Imagine retuning to your campsite after a hardy hike to the aroma of a freshly made stew. The camping stove is fired up and the dutch oven sets on top with the boiling meal. I can smell it myself right now!
When cooking on the camping stove I make sure to bring plenty of propane.... Read More |

Outdoor Living on Patio |
| 1/28/2010 5:03:09 AM |
We enjoy outdoor living on our back patio. It's as though we have an extra room added on to the house since my husband built the porch. The back porch is beautiful with timber poles and a solid roof. Two ceiling fans circulate the air and my husband installed a flat screen television. Often, in the evenings we will eat dinner on the table outdoors and then watch a show or... Read More |

New camping stove makes grilling when on trips easy as pie! |
| 1/28/2010 1:19:34 AM |
 I am one of those very avid and happy campers that loves to take as many outdoor camping trips as I can squeeze into my schedule every year. Lucky for me, I live in Arizona, so there are many times throughout the year that I can enjoy outdoor camping. I recently bought a new camping stove online for a great bargain, as my old one was shot and I was getting sick of only... Read More

Staying in shape thanks to my skateboarding equipment! |
| 1/28/2010 12:15:06 AM |
 I have really embraced the sport of skating again after realizing that I used to ride and use my skateboarding equipment all of the time, and now that I am getting older, and putting on some pounds, I have been getting back into skating to stay in shape. The best part is that I have noticed that you can easily get far greater bargains on skateboarding equipment these days... Read More

Fantastic Lighter That Works in High Winds for Outdoor Camping |
| 1/22/2010 5:10:32 AM |
 Today is cold, wet, and windy and we're seriously glad we're not outdoor camping today. Camping is our favorite activity, however, so once the roads dry off and the sun comes out, we'll be headed toward our favorite remote camping spot deep in the Sonoran desert just 20 miles from our home. Today, though, we're happy to be inside where the house is warm and dry. I spent a... Read More |

Outdoor Living Tough During Winter Storms |
| 1/21/2010 11:45:14 AM |
 Ever since this week started, Mother Nature has been throwing curve balls our way in Southern California. A bevy of storm sets coming from the coast have been dumping rain, wind, lighting and thunder on us for the past few days. Weathermen are saying today will be the last of it. I actually have been enjoying the change in scene. Nothing like grey, dark storm clouds to... Read More |

Outdoor camping in winter |
| 1/10/2010 10:04:40 AM |
 I know some folks who love to outdoor camp in Arizona during our winter time. They usually go not too far, like Lake Pleasant which is in the Phoenix vicinity. My friends love outdoor camping and try to do it year around. In Arizona, you can do that in the Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma areas where it is warmer than many other areas during the day. The nights are very cold... Read More |

New Dinnerware for Outdoor Camping Light and Bright |
| 1/9/2010 3:50:30 AM |
 We got some gift cards from our family over the holidays and today I used one of them to order this set of camping dishes to take with us when we're outdoor camping. We have what I consider loosely a set of camping dishes that I found at the thrift store but they are mismatched and heavy, something that I try to avoid when outdoor camping. They are in OK shape, but I think... Read More |

Ecuadorian Resort Camping in an Eco Lodge |
| 1/8/2010 11:26:24 PM |
I love to "rough it" and camp out in the wilderness. However, some wilderness situations are better for resort camping. For example, I will be visiting Ecuador to see the Amazon Rain Forest. The Amazon is the ultimate jungle experience for any adventurer. It sometimes takes a lifetime to get to know a small fraction of the Amazon, so it's smart to stay at an eco... Read More |

Nothing Quite Like Resort Camping |
| 1/7/2010 9:15:23 AM |
One of the things my dad loves to do is some good old resort camping. Since I was a kid my dad would always say that there was no vacation without nature and for him resort camping was the only way to vacation. For me, resort camping was one of the best experiences of the year, because I got to spend quality time with my siblings while having all the fun a kid could take... Read More |

Thinking of buying a new camping stove. |

I have been checking out several online web sites who specialize in offering the latest gear for outdoor camping as this is a good time of year to find great bargains on quality outdoor camping gear. As I am a fan of new stuff for camping and outdoor living I look for the new products with advantages over the outdoor camping gear I currently own. And I found a really cool... Read More |

Outdoor Living in the Winter Time |
| 1/6/2010 6:48:28 PM |
 When people think of winter, normally visions of snowflakes, icy streets, scarves and visible breath come to mind. And that is completely relevant in the colder areas of the country. In my case, it could not be farther from the truth. In the LA area, the sun has been doing nothing but shining for the last few weeks. Over the last month, there was something like three days...

Using my skateboarding equipment with my buddies makes me happy, favorite pastime! |
| 1/6/2010 5:06:35 PM |
 I originally got into using skateboarding equipment when I was in ninth grade, upon entering high school, where I met others who also liked to use their own skateboarding equipment, and we banded together. Those were, or are, fondly looked back upon as the good old days. But lately I have been reliving those good old days by getting some more skateboarding equipment and... Read More

Skateboarding Equipment Never Leaves the Trunk |
| 1/6/2010 3:43:56 PM |
 I don’t consider myself a skateboarder anymore but I do enjoy skateboarding. Back in the day, I spent afternoons after school practicing the nearby five stairs, board sliding our rail or doing simple flip tricks off a box we built from scrap wood. Now all I really do is cruise around and land a kickflip here and there. Never the less skateboarding equipment never leaves... Read More |

Enjoy all the comforts of resort camping. |
| 1/6/2010 2:55:55 PM |
People who are into outdoor camping normally have a preference for the type of outdoor camping they enjoy. Some like going the full primitive way with as little camping gear and facilities as possible. I have done this many times and it is a great way to learn how to make do with a minimal amount of camping gear. Other people are more into resort camping where they can... Read More |

Resort Camping Sounds Nice Right Now |
| 1/6/2010 2:49:56 PM |
 I live in Southern California and for the holidays, I went to the Southwest so as far as winter goes it has been a very sunny one. I would love to see some snow outside of the gridlock of highways, businesses and billboards. Resort camping seems like a pretty viable solution. None of my outdoor camping gear is really rated to brave super cold nighttime temperatures. A new... Read More |
