A bout with Mother Nature is probably exactly what many city-goers need. It’s a wake-up call. You know, one of those experiences that make you realize that there’s more to this [...]
One of the most important elements of any camping or backpacking experiences is your food preparation. A fun trip into the great outdoors can quickly turn into a nightmare without the right cooking equipment.

Though I don’t go camping any longer, I will probably do so again in the future. One thing I learned in the past when we did our yearly camping trip was that you should avoid buying stuff in camping shops if you can at all help it. It didn’t seem to matter how well prepared [...]
One of the biggest sources of unhappiness in our society is that people think that you can’t live well without having a lot of money.
