Other than Gear Junkie, 50 CAMPFIRES is one of the very top camping magazines in the market today and it is free. The February issue has a lot about winter camping. It is seasonal, up-to-date and the writers are excellent. It covers just about every topic imaginable with flare, enthusiasm and interest. You can have it come to your box by registering fort the same. I've read a lot of mags and this one ranks very high in my estimation. I...

Seven days to capture the last days of summer and maybe plan for the winter. I was thinking to myself it would be great to meet up with some Camping Babblers and just sit around the campfire and babble.

...but then---we don't talk to each other much.

How's the weather in every ones back yard? Here in this part of TN the nights have been getting down to upper 50s and days are reaching close to 90F. Sometimes September can be very hot and dry. The water temperature in the local lakes, I fish when I camp, is around lower 80 degrees. Still a bit warm for fishing unless it's catfish, they are yummy tho.]]> Winter Hammock Camping Sun, 17 Mar 2019 21:38:44 +0000 https://campingbabble.com/threads/winter-hammock-camping.1757/ https://campingbabble.com/threads/winter-hammock-camping.1757/ invalid@example.com (killeroy154) killeroy154 13 DIY Gear making Machine - good find?

Yep, the new toonie glows in the dark. Leave them on the table at night and you see them clearly.

Me personally it's just to hot in these parts for my liking. Most times this time of year I don't have the urge for camping. I do look at past fall pictures, and that does lift my spirits. The first picture was just as fall starts, very little color could be seen, but you could tell that fall was in the air. #2 is local lake in my area, they just start the winter draw down. #3 is coming...

Our Community just completed a footbridge across the Grand River - in our neck of the woods. So much more beautiful on this the first day of summer compared the torrential waves of February past.
