I use stainless steel car antennas for weenie/marshmellow roasting. Cut
the ball off the end and thread the other end into a short piece of broom handle. They're almost as much fun as a cattle prod too! Just make sure they're solid, not the telescoping type. The telescoping one tend to droop when they overheat. Nobody wants their weenie in the fire! |

Hi Sherrie
Yup, not just another pretty face! I know stuff...about things! |

Blue Ridge can be pretty rocky. I sometimes take a small hammock with me
camping there. I've also wimped out and taken a mattress and tent. At least you won't be forced into a campground! Oceans |

Choose high ground with some trees for wind protection.
Put a tarp down under the tent. Take a small shovel along. Dig a small trench around the tent and outlet it to the lowest side. It will keep you dry when it rains by running water around you. Build your fire to the down wind of your tent. The Westerly winds will not blow smoke into the tent that way. Make a ring of rocks around the campfire to keep the fire contained. Store all food in a tree or in your truck away from your tent!! Keeps Bears away from you and busy at the tree instead of the tent!! http://www.mountainnature.com/Wildlife/Bears/BearCampingTips.htm Doggy: Tweezers for ticks,Frontline,ID tags, picture of dog in case he gets lost, dog food, water bowl,leash plastic garbage bags clothes line dew rake and sky hooks...lol |

There is nothing like being in the woods, I hope you have a GREAT time...I read through everyone's suggestions, and the ONLY thing that's not down...is one of those camping chairs. Make sure you get one...where you can put your beer can in. Let us know how it went...when you get back. |
