    Do we have any artists in the crowd that might consider designing a crest?

    Interesting, I think you somehow managed to find the exact tree icon that I used when I created the logo for the top of the site. The two moose are an interesting touch and as a rough mock-up up I quite like it.

    Thanks - I didn't want to offend you. The other one I had posted for a bit had a campfire in the middle and I started with "where campers meet" I was just musing. Though, for sure if there was a crest it would be on my jacket, or if a sticker, on the car window.

    No offense taken, I suppose having some official stickers or patches would be neat. If you're interested, I can give you the files I used for the logos and such to work with.

    I was just playing around - but yes, if you have the file. It could be a fun project.

    Are you interested in having such a patch made?? I know of a on-line site that makes patches to put on clothing and hats if your interested I will send it to you.

    ...and then there is something like this. A camp fire...the one thing if nothing else, brings people together.

    If used for this site I like the fire best in the middle. It is as you say warm and inviting. I would sew this patch on my denim jacket to advertise this site. I will look for the link to the site i mentioned. :)

    Thank you. I thought the fire was a better idea too considering that we are international with many different backgrounds and situations but all having similar interests in terms of camping. I believe a fire is warm and inviting and as a friend said, "...it never grows old." I have a lead on a commercial artist that might help in professionalizing the design. It was, as noted, something that I was musing with on a cold Sunday evening.

    Two sites i found that make patches include one in USA, www.patchsupply.com and one in Canada, www.kingpins.ca
    I think you did really good on your own, it really looks nice.

    I appreciate that - thank you. As you noticed I designed my own camp crest.

    I figured you did, it's nice. What do the words mean?

    Is it written in French Canadian?

    I thought about using French - but I dropped French after I got my high school credit.

    It's Latin. [I'm even worse at Latin than I am with French.] All my base camps are called, Corroboro Lodge , no matter what kind of equipment I use. It is a Latin word too and it means "Place of Strength."

    I am only good at English, but I have always thought that Latin was a beautiful. Maybe it is because of hearing it used in the movies so much. Anyways you picked a good motto for your camp crest. It seems to fit with your outdoor personality and love of camping.

    Thank you. I muse myself during the winter months on things like this. I'm afraid that this year I overextended myself with the adverse weather we had.
