The Enjoyment of Screened Gazebo Camping

By Keith Kampschaefer

For those of us who enjoy the atmosphere of a well set up camp site, we tend to put more thought and effort as to what camping gear is needed to do so. I’m sure that most of us, who go camping at least on a periodic basis, have the essential camping gear needed to provide food and shelter, such as tents, coolers, sleeping bags, and some sort of outdoor cooking grill or camping stove. And if you have these basic camping items, along with adequate cooking and eating utensils, personal hygiene products, flashlights and lanterns, and of course plenty of food for camping, your campground enjoyment will pull in without a hitch.

I think it would be safe to say that there are several elements most of us would agree on that commonly add more pleasure to a campground setting. Not in any specific order, but three key ingredients would be the outdoor environment itself, scenery and wildlife; the campground location and presentation; as well as the camping gear and how it is set up. I would add to this list, a warm, centrally located campfire to gather around while cooking and eating, or simply enjoying the camaraderie, with others. In reality, two people sitting on logs beside a campfire while enjoying the warmth of friendship and the peaceful crackling and relaxing aroma of the fire, constitutes a complete campground setting to the “nth degree.”

Survival Clothing For Outdoor Emergencies

By Steven Gillman

Maybe you don't need to learn about survival clothing. Maybe you always hike with a spare jacket. Perhaps you never go out into the wilderness overnight, but just for day hikes. Or you bring lots of warm clothing when you do go backpacking.

Nonetheless, hundreds of people die or come close to dying every year from exposure. They thought they were prepared. They didn't expect their clothes to get wet from falling in a stream, they didn't think they'd be out there for the night, or they get lost for days.

Coming down from Mount Whitney I met several young men in t-shirts on their way up, determined to get to the top. They had no gear, and not enough time, but they probably made it there by sunset anyhow. They also certainly didn't make it the eleven miles back to their car before dark. It was below freezing that night, so I imagine they were uncomfortable at best.
