IS THIS THE YEAR YOU BUY NEW EQUIPMENT?
The tent you really wanted to buy, a new cherry paddle for the canoe, an RV,
a new van...what?

LET'S GET SUMMER STARTED.
+ Let's share what's going on in our camping life. +

​

 

I only have reservations so far for one trip on the 4th of July. I am waiting for the season to open at a small campground in Maryland - their website still has 2014 information up - so I can make some more reservations.

 

...it looks mighty good @2sweed. I sure hope that you will have an excellent summer. They are so short and it is important that we use them well.

Excellent! Twenty fourteen - my goodness they are slow. Some of our jurisdictions had their site changes up last October. Yep...I noticed the price increases.

 

So far I've designed a portable tent platform. I was inspired by @MacGyver. I've purchased one small backpackers Primus stove (on sale don't you know). I built a new tent night table. Designed and built a portable flag pole and the only other piece of equipment I've been toying with is a car refrigerator.

 

One of potential girlfriends family lives in the boonies. It's almost like camping. So I'll take a trip down there and survey the land a bit. If it ever goes to the next step, this would be a good place to lay some roots and build a preppers bunker or a dwelling ready for a doomsday scenario.

ONE OF YOUR POTENTIAL GIRLFRIENDS? Good grief man, how many do you have???? The boonies you have displayed are fantastic. Could you go anyway even if she isn't a potential?

 

I'm in the Philippines right now and It's totally different from the West. For those that don't understand where I'm going with this, here's an example. In my grandmothers native village it is common for arranged marriages. Matchmakers would set young people together based on social status or what would make monetary sense. It's not about dating for several years like back home. It's still the olden days here.

But I've been there already a month ago. I'll might be going there in a few days. We'll see. I'll take pictures for you guys if I do. Oh wait I got some but nothing from the beach.

I had to drive 3 hours to her province. I parked on the side of the road to take a picture. Then some photos of my bed for the night and the surroundings. I can't forget the dogs.

 

@JoshPosh - a man of adventure and intrigue and someone who would be fabulous to have on a trip. Share more of your photos and especially the area you frequent. Thanks for your contribution.

Spread the word...

 

I forgot about that...you might be basking in the heat of a special summer. TELL US ABOUT IT - help keep our spirits up in the midst of ice and snow.

 

@JoshPosh - Joshy - tell me more about your dogs.

"He...smart!" Actually he had some good advice (I'm smart too - so I took it) and now experimenting with another model.

 

Now is the time to take inventory..."ta see whats you got and whats you gotta get."

Here we go again - he does this every year and still buys things he really doesn't need.

 

my anticipation is so big! I hope the sun will shine often this march!

 

That's what I like to hear.

 

STAY TUNED....
