Campfire Capers: We Beat Blazing Saddles By : Charles Wansor There is something about being out of doors in an isolated area (with friends who have nothing to hide from the others) that pops the seams of social restraints. Sitting around the campfire can become a kind of libertine free-for-all—if you have something to say, you say it; if you have rumble in the gut, you let it rip, perhaps even exaggerating its intensity. Campfire Capers: We Ate the State Record By : Charles Wansor Very rarely did we fish after dark; after all, there was a campfire to look forward to, and a full evening of agitation, degradation, exaggeration, distortion, prevarication, some actual information, and lots of flatus. Campfire Capers: The Skinniest Fish I Ever Saw By : Charles Wansor Next to the hilarious conversations and rowdy campfire capers, the next best thing about our “fishing trips” had to be the great food, especially the pan frying of a day’s catch. All species tasted the same—excellent! Perch and walleye seemed to be the group’s preferred fare but crappies, bluegills, catfish, and even the state’s “put and take” trout, all melted on the tongue whether breaded, coated with special sauces or spread over with just a hint of butter, salt and pepper. Campfire Capers: There’s a Bear in Your Truck By : Charles Wansor The site we called Stough’s Point was part of a larger “camping” area which was actually a state park. During the times we camped there, the park had not yet been developed into the fairly typical layout of rows of pull-ins with hook ups and modern conveniences like showers and toilets and laundry facilities. It was then, in a word, ”rustic.” Campfire Capers: Throw a Little Light on the Subject By : Charles Wansor Being that Stough’s Point was part of a state park, we did not have exclusive use of it, though very few people camped there besides us (or maybe because of us). The resulting “solitude” created senses of ownership and privacy that perhaps were unfounded but nonetheless powerful, breeding resentment and distrust when others showed up or ventured nearby. Ah, the curses of privilege, eh! Campfire Capers: Beer and Boats Don’t Mix By : Charles Wansor A night gabbing around the campfire can be interrupted by various things, like a skunk waltzing by or thunderclap threatening rain or…something really strange like a motorboat crashing through the willows just off the point where you’re camping. Campfire Capers: Muskie Finally Catches One! By : Charles Wansor If you are part of a regular crew of pals who hunt, or fish, or hike, or camp, you probably know what I am talking about here. It seems that every such group has in it one person who stirs the must chuckles, make the most mistakes, or says the funniest things, usually unintentionally. These are the folks who don’t even have bad luck; they have no luck at all. Muskie was our guy. Campfire Capers: First Time in the Circle: Meet the Cast By : Charles Wansor While you wouldn’t be destitute, if you have gone through life never having sat around a campfire with good friends, you are certainly less rich in memories than those of us who have. Hours whiled away under dark skies in the bright light of roaring flames bring mighty returns on the simple investment of time well spent. One good night of campfire capers can earn years of chuckles, smiles, and comforting recollections. Camping First Aid Kits: An Outdoors Essential By : Gary Colvin As an Eagle Scout, former Junior Assistant Scoutmaster and camp staff employee, some of my fondest memories were the outdoor adventures we had as a young man. But I also learned that ANYTHING can happen in the outdoors. The Scout motto (Be Prepared) is very good advice. And I'm here to tell you: if you go outdoors, you need to take along a good camping first aid kit. You Can Be a Better Camper This Summer!

Camping in Oregon By : Harry Lampard One of the most beautiful and relaxing tourist spots in the United States, coastal Oregon remains one of the undiscovered treasures of the great Northwest. Oregon coast vacations offer activities to suit a multitude of vacation needs. Over 300 miles of the coast of Oregon has been officially declared a recreation national park by the federal government Discount Backpacks – Are You Trading Price For Comfort? By : Mike Jennings Discount backpacks - we all love a bargain but we need to check that the backpack we are buying has certain basic design attributes to ensure a comfortable experience and enjoyable vacation. Buying the Best Tent By : Getting back to nature can be a fun way to experience life. But finding out at 4 am that your tent can't stand up to the elements is a lesson learned the hard way. A Quick History Guide To The Bowstring And Its Use By : Richard Lubin The string is not always in the center of the bow limbs. Devices to set the center shot do not always work because they assume that everything is square, but many times they are not. The bow string should travel in a line that is parallel to the sight window on any well designed bow. Therefore your arrow on the rest should be parallel to the sight window. Australian Student Visa and Immigration to Australia affects your career! By : Tina There is no in denial that most of the Aussies graduates in Australian Universities have the higher percentage to get all the career opportunities. Get the most out of your outdoors with ideas from Europe By : John Clarke Did you ever notice that whenever you see a movie about the old times - there's always those old-fashioned outdoor fixtures. I wonder why they didn't put more of those on the streets. With all the modern light bulbs availble they should provide an romantic feeling long lost in the past.
