Default Do you take books?

Sometimes when I am out and about in nature I like to sit down and read a good book while I am taking a break. Do you take anything to read on downtime when you are camping?

I'll always bring a book or two when we go camping. My husband likes fishing, so he'll take the kids and I'll park myself somewhere, crack open my book and relax for a bit.

I actually always have a book or two with me. I have them in my car, which makes it convenient when I am on a camping trip.

A comic book, preferably a Garfield comic strip would be good enough to entertain me while I am out in the woods. I hope that a latest edition of car magazine counts as I love to peek in latest cars on sale.

Nope, I don't take book to read when I'm hiking. I have taken books on leaves and different animals. The kids like to play - name that tree or leaf while we hike. I remember doing the same with my grandpa.

I take a book on camping trips in case of rain, but not hiking. If we are just going for a hike I may grab my sketch pad, but that's it.

I take a book and a notebook with me wherever I go. When a reading mood strikes, I read. When a writing mood strikes, I write.

I have never forgot to bring a book or two in my camping trips. There are always times when you want to relax, and a good book is a great companion in those times.

I am like most of you. I always have a few books handy. I like audiobooks which are great for when you are walking. There is nothing as great as listening to the birds and the breeze while reading a book. It is the most relaxing thing in the world.

I take a book or two everywhere I go. I can't stand to be unoccupied when I am having to sit and wait. When I camp, I love to take a good read with me! It's really a great time to get some quality reading in.
