    Advice on used canoes

    I have a couple leads on used canoes somewhat local to me (about 4 hr drive) and I wanted some opinions. One is a very lightly used Old Town Discovery 169 that comes with cheap paddles, a dolley, throw cushions, 3rd seat and a nice trolling motor mount for $650 + 4 hr drive. The other is a...

    Info on vintage camper

    There is a truck camper for sale near me and I can't find any information on it. It is called "Little King" and that is pretty much all the info the owner has on it. It seems to be a light weight "minimaist type camper but I'm not sure. It looks to be 7' and has a cab over section with fridge...

    Camping in bear country

    I'm planning a trip to the Yellowstone/Teton area and the plan is to mostly camp out in the surrounding National Forests. It has been years since I have camped in brown bear country and even then it was in developed campgrounds. If it was just my wife and I, there would be no worries but I'm...

    Jacob Bromwell

    Has anyone used any of the Jacob Bromwell items either at camp or at home? I really like the looks of the tin cups but I'm not sure if they are worth the money in quality and enjoyment of use. I am also intrigued by the popcorn popper. We make popcorn on the stove nearly every night and while...

    Nikon D40x replacement

    I know, another one of those threads! I currently have a d40x that we have had for 4 years now and it has had a rough year. To start, if was on a tripod and somehow fell over directly on the lens. Luckily, I had an extra 18-55 kit lens we could use. Then, out of nowhere that lens actually just...

    Sleeping Pad

    Has anyone tried the Cabelas Standard Pad? It is on sale and I was thinking about picking two up but wasn't sure how it would compare to a Thermorest or one of the more expensive pads. Space isn't really an issue and neither is weight. I like that fact that is uses a foam but still inflates with...

    Winter camping?

    Anyone ever camped in the winter with their kids? We are thinking about a winter road trip next Feb and it would be great if we could spend a night or two camping rather than staying in a hotel. We will be travelling through Sequoia, Yosemite, Redwood, and Crater Lake. It would be me, my wife...

    Sleeping bag quality

    I ran across the brand TETON Sports on Amazon while looking for a sleeping bag. The reviews on Amazon are nearly all positive but I don't really give them much credit when it comes to outdoor gear. After looking at their site it seems that they have some nice stuff but I was unable to find any...

    North Rim Grand Canyon 2011

    This is my first trip report (and very late doing it) but wanted to get some pictures up since a lot of questions about the area were answered on the portal. We took a ton of pictures but I will select a few that I think represent the story the best and post those. My wife and I left the house...

    Arizona/Grand Canyon May 2011

    I'm a long time lurker here but this is my first time posting. I have really enjoyed seeing how many people are getting their kids out and enjoying outdoor activities with them. I am looking for a little advice/help with a trip plan. I was going to put this in the adventure planning section...
