If you haven’t celebrated Campsgiving yet, go for it! Even if it is after Thanksgiving, GO FOR IT! Whether it is a weekend camping trip or a backyard adventure, start a new tradition and get outside to celebrate with your family and friends!
This post is the lowdown and the nitty gritty details of two of the biggest shopping days of the year, and I want you to be prepared for the amazing deals we have coming your way. Time to plan it out so you can maximize your thriftiness!
With the changing family dynamics since the inception of Scouting America, the Scouting America decided that it was time to live even more fully into the promise of their mission and the purpose of their organization. Most families are dual-earners and there is a need for activities involving the entire family. Families want to spend more time together (I raise my glass to this)! Enter in family Scouting: a “one stop shop” for all of your kids.
“What’s that set-up on the side of your deck?” This is a question I get frequently nowadays. It is always in relation to the stacked wooden structure off to the side of our deck, never in relation to the new additions of colorful pots planted with various mosquito-repelling plants. That “set-up” is my very own worm compost bin. Yep. Worm Composting.
There are two kinds of people out there. One that packs their food first for a trip and has every meal planned out to the letter. The other has all of their gear packed and ready to go and then panics the day before because how do you eat in the wild? Nowadays, there are solutions that work for both types of people and are actually appetizing!
Ever wonder how to get set up with a camp kitchen? With all of the options out there, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start! This blog covers the essentials you need to get started and gives you a few recipes that will have you feeling like an outdoor chef in no time.
We all want to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and blooming nature while out camping, so let’s do it with some awareness. This blog will cover preventative tips, symptoms, and treatment of heatstroke.
This blog will expand a bit on the “be conservation-minded” clause from the Outdoor Code and on number 3 from The Leave No Trace Principles. At the end of the day, whether we are out on a camping trip or at home in our normal day-to-day lives, we have an opportunity to rethink how we view the products that we use. The concept of the “Circular Mindset” can help us do that and also lead to having an easier time while out camping with our packs, dens and family.
