How do I plan for a camping trip?

Newest Review: ... ammo. There are bear and wildcats out there in the forest. They just don't live at zoos. And unlike the ones at the zoo who prefer to eat cotton candy and ice cream the ones that are wild eat humans. Of all demographic groups that support private ownership of firearms, people in the process of being mauled by a bear are the most supportive of the right to bear arms. 3. We get alcohol.

I call it our Clown car; when my husband of 6’4” frame and our lanky brood of children begin pouring out and unpacking, people don’t know whether to laugh out loud or gape in awe. And we pack *only* what we need! We keep “camping clothes” for both warm and cool weather. These ... Read the complete review
