Must Have Camping Essentials by GSI Outdoors
I have been taking Peyton camping ever since she was three years old. It's a family tradition of ours to go every summer at least once and usually to a new destination each time. I love taking a long weekend and just unplugging from everything and relax by the campfire. Though we may be camping, that doesn't mean we are only roasting hotdogs and eating junk food for the duration of the trip. I have taught Peyton that anything we cook at home in our kitchen can be cooked over a campfire or on a ...

Enjoy the Outdoors with Your Pet
We live in a pretty heavily wooded area. That translates to lots and lots of nature, aka wildlife, aka coyotes, hawks, eagles, foxes and more. We also have pets, 2 large dogs and some cats. When we are spending time outside we love to bring them with us but because of the before mentioned predators, we can't safely let our cats sit outside with us. A hawk or eagle could swoop down and pick up one of the cats with their talons and off they go. So I've been looking for a solution, one that would ...
It’s Time to Get Ready for Camping Season!
Today was the last day of school! We are officially done for the summer and free to have fun and play in the sun! I'm starting to plan our summer camping trips, that means I'm checking over our gear and seeing if there is anything we need to replace or add before our first trip. Last year we hauled a folding table with us but it took up way too much room and was very hard for me to put together by myself. This year, I'll be bringing our brand new camping table with us! When I saw this little ...
