    Campground Games

    LOL All sound good to me. Like the country song said, "End up every summer wearing something in a cast" fit me pretty well. I remember a trip to a North Carolina beach when I was about 10 and had stitches. Of course I was in the ocean and I'm still here. Kids can be supervised too much I think...

    Dealing with poisonous snakes and insects

    You just learn what habitat harbors them and avoid it if at all possible. Other than that, they sell snake proof pants and boots. If you worry too much about them you can go that route.

    Hubby bagged a deer

    Mamabear-I've tried to eat venison, but I just can't stand the taste. I'm a "super taster" as defined by the medical profession and I really have a hard time with a lot of tastes. I did get sick as a young adult on some venison and I've tried to get around that by using different spices but it...

    Stopped Smoking and feel crappy

    I don't smoke and never have, but I'd like to add my congratulations to the mix! That's quite an accomplishment. Have you tried some over the counter allergy remedies? I use Zyrtec and it really helps me with the seasonal changes. You could also try a neti pot to clear all the pollen/allergens...

    So...2012=Doom?

    I've always gone the way of the ant instead of the grasshopper. I'm always trying to save up and store up. I grant you this year wasn't a bumper crop, but we always try to put food and supplies over to tide us over at least a month. As far as if it's going to be the end of the world, I don't...

    In the wilds of Maine

    Sounds wonderful! I love it here. You can gather quite a bit of info from these characters, hopefully me as well. I can't guarantee I'm always right, but I always try. Welcome aboard and have fun at the fire.

    Mississippi Mud Cake

    I have tried it before but I'm not much of a chocolate fan. I would rather have something light or have some fruit. My tastes have changed since as I've aged and now most of the "dessert" type items are just too rich for me. Give me an apple or an orange and I'm happy, but I'll pass it along to...

    Substance To Hide Human Smell?

    Thanks guys. I thought it was just me. The cover scents sound like the best bet. I'm not sure I want to be a vegetarian for any reason except I can't catch anything though. Good article too BTW.

    Canned bacon

    I didn't know such a thing as bacon in a can existed. I'll have to look for it and check it out. I LOVE spam by the way and eat it at least once a week. I like SPAM or Treet cut up and fried with eggs. Yum!

    Does This Make You As Uncomfortable As....

    ...it does me? Maybe I'm having flashbacks to Arnold's Terminator, but this makes me extremely uncomfortable. It's not yet practical since it needs to be refueled after a day, but I can envision a time where it may be powered by solar power and recharge as it goes. Not something I want to see...

    Substance To Hide Human Smell?

    I've seen the soap and stuff they sell to mask your human odor sold in the stores. But the stuff doesn't seem to work or maybe I'm particularly smelly. What do you use to mask your scent as much as possible?

    Squirrels

    You never really know if an animal like that is diseased or if it's just used to humans. You also have to be careful to secure your food stores because they can be crafty little buggers. Another funny story. We were feeding a cat the neighbors had moved and left. We had set the Pet Taxi out...

    Hydroelectric Power

    I went to see a dude a long while ago, who had fashioned his own water wheel and was using it to power his house at night. He had fixed it so he could turn it on and off if he wished but he didn't make enough power sometimes to use it. He had it fixed so he could divert the small stream if it...

    Halloween at the campground

    I thought it was a bit early too but I hear up in Kentucky, somewhere in the Daniel Boone National Forest, they held a Bigfoot hunt. They got a special use permit and charged each participant $75 bucks to go out and tramp around in the woods. One woman said she saw it. But then again I think...

    Halloween

    The only reason I really like Halloween is because the candy is really cheap right after Halloween and we stock up to use it in baking for Christmas. Love that markdown stuff!

    Persimmon Seeds

    My dad used to talk about how to predict the coming winter's weather with a cut persimmon seed. They are hard to cut and you have to be careful not to cut your hand when you cut them in half. If you see a spoon, you will have a lot of heavy, wet snows that winter and will be shoveling a lot. If...

    Campground activities

    We don't usually. If we car camp, we usually stay pretty close to the fire either that or we are off on our own and hiking somewhere. I'm pretty people shy so I don't like to be in large crowds.

    I was wandering about in YouTube land today and lookee what I found. It's called Cooking With Power Tools. Have a look see for yourself: Cooking with Power Tools: Cordless Drill applications - YouTube Now that makes cooking look a lot better for me.

    Clan of the Cave Bear fans?

    I've never read it. I tried to when I was younger but I just couldn't get through it. I thought it was tedious then. I really should give it another try since I've gone back to a lot of the books I didn't like when I was a teen and like now. Amazing how someone can change.
