There’s been alot of interest in emergency survival kits with the recent fires in Southern California.  There’s also been alot of good postings on not forgetting our pets during these events and having emergency pet kits.  A few months ago, we donated some product to a great group that helps rescue pets and animals during disasters such as these - it’s a group known as SCART (Surf City Animal Response Team).  The’ve helped out during the recent fires, the Tahoe fires, and Katrina.

Time to break out the barbecue supplies for tailgating.  I come from a long line of Oregon Ducks and my family had a chance to tailgate with the Son Of Hibachi and feed the crew.  With warm food in their stomachs, they cheered the Ducks on to victory - Go Ducks !!!

Just when you think camping season is over, don’t forget a pair of snowshoes for your camping gear.  While you may not want to go to the extreme of snow camping (try it it’s fun), it is always a great hike in the woods with a pair of snowshoes for a good workout.  Yosemite can be a great place to try out the backcountry.

We just had an earthquake last night and it makes you remember to have your disaster preparedness kits ready.  You forget about things like having emergency water on hand or even having your camping gear ready.  It was a small one but enough to jog your memory to plan ahead. 

I was in my local camping store looking for camping tents and wanted to see if it was a good price.  Armed with my phone, I found I could check out camping gear via my phones internet browser on a mobile camping web site.  It was good to see the item in person, but my phone quickly told me there was a better deal on line complete with pictures and specs.

It’s often hard to choose what kind of backpacking stove is right for you. First of all, a stove should have a minimum of 10,000 BTU’s output. Liquid fuel stoves are a little harder to get going but burn hotter than other types of fuels. If you’re considering backpacking abroad, you should consider a multi-fuel stove. For the long trekker, check out one of the simple alcohol fuel stoves as part of your camping gear. Try out the stove on a practice run at such places shown at Two-Heel Drive.
