Ok, so I've got a fetish about notebooks. I just got a Moleskine. I have a bunch of Circas. Over at Cool Tools they're showing off a LED bulb. Replacement for Mini Maglites. This is great for your old ones, since I believe the new ones are going to come with LEDs standard. Check 'em out. Posted by John @ Thursday, December 29, 2005. Lucki...

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Tips - Essential Items Lists. If you are a first time camper, either tent or RV, you may be somewhat lost as what to bring on your first trip. Here's a collection of lists of camping items from various places on the 'net. (BTW, I'm not up on any affiliate programs for any of this stuff, yet. I'm not pimping this stuff, yet. Yet.). Aboutcom First Aid Kit #1. Devilled eggs h...

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Sunday, August 07, 2005. Food, Gear - Pie Irons. Ah, the campfire. Cooking over the campfire usually falls into three categories: stuff on a grill, stuff in a pot like a dutch oven (and we'll cover that soon), and stuff on a stick. Stick cooking can include hot dogs, hot dogs, and if you're daring, bread. Unless you use the Pie Iron. Posted by John @ Sunday, August 07, 2005. Links to this post.

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Thursday, May 26, 2005. Fun - Wine Tasting. Every state in the US has at least one winery, except Alaska, and I'm probably wrong about that too. Where there are wineries, there's wine tasting. Wine tasting, as day long activity is no longer confined to California. Michigan. Have winery tours and tastings. In fact, I bet nearly all states have at least one wine trail - just type.

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Monday, June 06, 2005. Food - More Burgers. Why just stop with a squished ball of ground beef? Here's some quick bites for the hamburger:. Grind your own, Alton Brown. I came to love these during trips to New Mexico, Green Chili Cheeseburgers. A tasty sweet onion topper. Recipe at Better Homes and Gardens. And, of course, a Hamburger Blog. Posted by John @ Monday, June 06, 2005. Links to this post.

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Thursday, July 28, 2005. Tips - Camp fire building. My able bodied camping assistant had to stand by and watch me curse and throw chunks of wood as I fought to prove that I was a real camper! She decided to take matters into her own hands and got me a book. GASP, did I really need a book on camp fires? A really nicely printed and bound edition can be gotten at Lee Valley.

Well, enough about car camping! Here's one for your crusty backpackers, you know, the Old Skool backpackers. Can't afford a cook stove, or don't want to pay "the man" for one, you know? Seems that the soda can cookstove. And, really, why stop there? This guy has a whole site devoted to making your own alcohol stoves. Links to this post.

The cool camping blog. Trying to find gear, supplies, adventure and activities for the 21st century camper. Tuesday, March 09, 2004. Ok, not that sad. I wish I could post more, but instead I should be working on the project. I'll try to get caught up with the blog shortly. Oh how I wish I could just play games, chess, or write that Opera about sentient plants, "Love Amongst the Vegetals." Actually a Rock opera, or a concept album. Not sure which.
