Camping Coolers

I am going camping in the winter. Is it still necessary to bring a camping cooler?

August 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Just because you will not need ice cold drinks to get rid of the dry lump in your throat because it is already cold does not mean that you will not need a camping cooler anymore. Keep in mind that the more important function of a cooler aside from keeping your colds drink is keeping your food safe and fresh. And because spoiled food can hurt your tummies or worse, cause food poisoning, it is imperative to bring a camping cooler in your camping trip even if it is winter. This is unless of course you would rather munch entirely on chips, biscuits, and other dry boring food on the whole duration of... [Read the full story]

Camping Supplies

After setting up the tent in a campsite, hiking is always an activity we enjoy. What items do we need to bring along when hiking?

June 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

I certainly agree with you that hiking is a must-activity when outdoors. To start with, wear light clothing and footwear. Follow the designated trail area. Travel light. The weight of a heavy backpack may spoil the fun. Pack in finger foods like fried chicken, sandwiches, or bread which you can easily munch on without hassle. Bring enough drinking water that can last till the next drinking station. Camping supplies such as a map, compass and flashlights will always come in handy especially during emergencies. The cellular phone will always be a valuable tool to bring. Bring a trash bag to store... [Read the full story]

What camping tent color is most advisable for campers?

June 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Camping tent color is most often a personal choice. For most people, color hues in grey, white, tan, blue and green are popular choices. These colors are inconspicuous and naturally blend with nature. A few may prefer the very bright ones that come in orange or neon colors. Obviously, these are perfect choices for emergency situations where search and rescue teams are deployed for missing persons. These might be advantageous for those who camp in snowy conditions or snow areas. But in general, as a camper, would you want to wake up to a very bright tent beside you as the rays of the sunlight falls... [Read the full story]

Outdoor Cooking

We have Asian guests coming for the weekend. What basic equipment should I have as we do outdoor cooking of Asian dishes?

July 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Trust me; Asian food is one of the most exotic cuisines you’ll ever find.  A basic cooking tool is the wok.  This looks like a pan with a rounded bottom, commonly used for cooking Chinese food.  With a wok, you can pan fry, stir fry, deep fry and steam.  It is flexible enough to be used for almost all dishes like fish, pork, chicken, meat and pasta.  Usually, it has two handles that are concave in shape for easy handling.  Depending on your menu, a clay pot is also important since it allows food to remain steaming hot minutes after the food is cooked.  To make the dishes authentic in taste,... [Read the full story]
