Camping, hiking, backpacking, boating, fishing, snowshoeing, and whatever else we do outside for fun.
Disaster come in all shapes and sizes, from a tree falling on your house to the zombie apocalypse. You might need to leave home in a big hurry, with what you can quickly grab, and the clothes on your back. A bug out bag gathers the things you need to grab and go. How important is that?
Every year, the first flowers of spring brighten up my days. It’s fun to watch things grow and flowers open. Here’s a glance at spring at our house over the last few weeks.
In the first post in this series, I talked about some of the considerations on whether or not you should take your pet on a trip with you. Today, I plan to discuss some of the health and safety concerns you may want to think about while hiking and camping with your dog.

Hoosier National Forest, which oversees Charles C. Deam Wilderness, is proposing some Draconian new camping rules for the Wilderness. That’s bad, but there’s worse. The change will also allow them to arbitrarily change the rules in the future without any way to prevent it. We have to stop this!
We have taken Jaxon on many hiking and camping trips over the years. He’s an excellent hiker and a slightly nervous camper. We worked with Jaxon for a while before we took him out overnight. If you want to take your dog out hiking out with you, here are some things to consider. Our posts will mostly be about dogs because that is what we know, but much of it applies to any pet.
Even a grey day in the woods can be amazing. We had a chance to go out and do a few miles recently down near Lake Monroe in southern Indiana. Despite the clouds and intermittent light rain, we saw some glorious views!
Every season brings new beauty to the deciduous forests. Autumn brings a wide array of colors to enjoy. Crisp days and cool nights make for good hiking and sleeping. Fall pictures are glorious to look at.
