Camping.  The opportunity for us to get out into the wilderness and explore.  Sometimes it is deep in the woods, other times it might be in a state park.  Either way, the point is being able to get away from work and enjoy some time in the great out doors.  Camping has been part of the human experience since well, the beginning of time.  We were not blessed with housing and electricity at the dawn of mankind.  We had to find ways to survive in the wilderness.  This included finding or building shelter form the elements, finding and preparing food and water, and taking care of other bodily functions (poop people, i’m talking about poop).

Early man probably spent many nights sleeping under the stars which was all well and good until the rain came or until the snow started falling.  Early man hunted and gathered the food and water he needed as it was needed.  Eventually these ‘just in time’ models were no longer adequate.  Technology and methodology advanced, skills improved, knowledge developed, and modern day camping was invented.  Tents, sleeping bags, flash lights, back packs, coolers, fire starters, high tech clothing, sleeping pads, and even portable toilets all came around to make our time outdoors more pleasant.

As this site develops, we will share with you the latest in camping technology, the most tried and true skills, the best camping spots in the country, and some awesome camp tips and tricks to help you make the most of your outdoor adventure.  All of this information is free.  If you see links to online retailers to purchase gear, feel free to visit the sites or ignore them.  We will try to make them as unobtrusive as possible so they do not interfere with your experience on this site.  So, enjoy the site and learn from our experience then get out there and camp!

Yours in Camping,
