We have a selection of kids gear, tents, outdoor clothing, and some misc camping gear.

We are doing a little experimenting. This is a beginning store version. In a few months, as this proves successful, we will expand our store to a full line of camping gear.

4. FEATURED ARTICLE - CAMPFIRE COOKING

You can cook without a pot when you are on your camping trip. Cooking over a campfire has so much variety you'll never run out of different ways to cook.

Cooking on Coals is one way to cook your meat over a campfire. Just lay your meat directly on hot coals and turn it when it's half done. Biscuits and toast can also be made this way.

Cook Food in Clay to keep in the moisture and heat. Just wrap the food in a layer of clay and place it in the coals. the clay will protect the food as it cooks.

Cooking in Paper is an un-heard of method, but it can be done! As long as the paper is wet when you place it on the coals, it won’t burn. Fish is delicious when you cook it like this.

Visit: Unusual Campfire Cooking Techniques for more details about these methods and even more campfire cooking tips.
