Before I went to the camping tent sale, I did not realize how elaborate camping gear could get. You see, I had not been on a camping trip since my Boy Scout days. Back then, things were simple. I had never seen anything but a basic pop up tent. There was the simple camping tent [...]
Are you a big outdoorsman? Or actually I should say outdoor person. Maybe that fresh mountain air and warm son get your heart pumping and juices flowing. If this sounds all too familiar, then you’re certainly not alone. Many of us yearn for that bout with the wilderness. In fact, some of us actually go [...]
Are you an outdoors lover? I find that less and less people I come into contact with like the great outdoors. What’s with this? 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 [...]
When was the last time you got away from it all? You know, headed out to the wild and took a breath of fresh air. We all need that escape from the urban jungle or suburbia. You simply can’t beat a friendly bout with Mother Nature. Okay, so you’re headed out on that big camping [...]
It’s great to get away for the weekend into the countryside under canvas. There is nothing to beat breathing fresh air and eating outdoors, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Of course, having the right camping supplies and equipment makes the experience all the more enjoyable.
Though camping is not for everyone, there are many families that enjoy a weekend away in the wilderness. Some don’t go that far, but like to find an organized campground to camp for a few days or even a few weeks. Though some like to have travel campers when they go camping a lot, some [...]
Ahh, there’s just something incomparable about Mother Nature. Any avid camper can tell you the very same thing. Once you step into those woods, far away from the smog and chaos of the urban jungle, all is instantly right with the world. Take a deep breath! This is the cleanest air you’ll probably experience until [...]
Camping is fun for the whole family. It also happens to be cheap entertainment, an unpredictable adventure, and a way to commune with nature. But sleeping in a tree or on the cold hard ground is a bit too extreme even in the spirit of “roughing it.” And renting a nearby motel defeats the whole [...]
My husband and I used to camp several times a year when we were first married. We lived in a duplex and it was nice to get away from the neighborhood on weekends. Camping also fit our budget because it was so much cheaper than staying at a hotel. The worse part about camping for [...]
Although I have lived in Nova Scotia all my life, finding good tent campgrounds around is more difficult than most people would think. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of opportunity for tent camping if you have a week or two and some deep woods experience. You can go take your camping tent into [...]
Done any camping lately? What do you haul along these days anyway? When it comes to that bout with the wilderness, there are just so many things we can acquire to make nature seem like a home away from home. Well, at least it’s that way for me anyway. From resilient and water-proof tents, to [...]
Camping in winter can be pretty challenging. You don’t realize how much you rely on the amenities of modern life until you try to put them behind you. Even setting up a campsite in summer is difficult sometimes. Getting clean water, finding places to go to the bathroom, preparing food, and even sleeping comfortably can [...]
I always thought camping hammocks were cool, but assumed that they were sort of a novelty. Portable hammocks, or so I figured, would just like folding camp chairs – something to make you a little bit more comfortable while you are hanging around your campsite, but far from a necessity. I am a pretty serious [...]
Though camping is not for everyone, some will do it if they know they don’t have to sleep outside in a tent on the ground. This means that they should have some sort of camping trailers to go with them when they decide to brave the great outdoors. This is a great way for families [...]
The joys of camping are numerous. Being thrust into nature in the great outdoors provides many natural pleasures. Remembering my days as a girl scout, I remember the old fashioned tents with poles and spikes that took hours to put up as well as all of the heavy equipment we had to lug with us [...]
Last year we loaded up the kids and joined a bunch of friends for a long weekend camping trip out at Rushing River. Rushing River is a fantastic camping spot. The campsites are spacious (most have electrical), the washrooms are clean, the beaches are sandy and close to the campsites and Rushing River boasts a [...]
Camping air beds are a dream come true for many of us who go on regular outdoor trips. I love going on hikes and I really love sleeping outside at our campground. My back, however, isn’t really crazy about the whole thing. I actually thought that my camping adventures were a thing of the past [...]
