I know it's the age of technology, but are some people taking it too far? The last time we went camping, it was at a horse camp with my cousins. Camping is supposed to get you back to nature, or at least that was what I was always told. It didn't dawn on me until a few days ago that half of...

I'm always looking for new ideas for campfire foods, and I think I may have just found a new favorite. I haven't tried it yet, but I will be as soon as we go camping again. Orange Peel Cinnamon Rolls

My kids have somehow gotten the bright idea that we need to camp on Christmas Eve and 'Santa' hunt. Any other time of year, I would love to go camping with the family, but it's already freezing here, I can't even imagine how cold it's going to be in a months time. I might suggest living room...

My 14 year old nephew is really into knives and camping, so we are trying to figure out a good, multipurpose knife that isn't going to cost us an arm and a leg.

We have 4 kids, and we all love to go fishing, but we very rarely catch anything. We have started saying that we are going to 'feed the fish' instead of going fishing. I'm pretty sure it's a matter of not getting the bait on the hook properly. My kids manged to use all the bait in less than...

S'mores are a big part of any camping trip we take, it's a must have with kids, but I get sick of the standard, traditional s'mores. I found this a few days ago, and think I am going to have to try it next time we go. Ingredients apples Hershey's chocolate bar, divided into squares...

My husband took the kids on a walk along the edge of the woods the other day. The girls are all about the wildflowers and wanted to know what a few of them were, so he brought some back for me to look up and identify. One of them was a plant called Touch-Me-Not or Spotted Jewelweed. It's a...
