Summer is here and when the temperature rises, some of you may embrace the outdoors and get that camping gear ready to go.     Me?  I have to be somewhere cool on a hot day.

If you haven’t had French Toast when camping, then you are missing out on an easy, scrumptious breakfast or a great dessert (and I love love love camping desserts).

Hammock camping - Sky Bed review

If you have read some recent posts on our blog, you will know that we have started hammock camping.     It’s fun, lightweight and appeals to anyone who might be trying to reduce the amount of gear they take when they go camping. In saying that, we still use our tents a lot and you never know if your campsite is going to have trees to rig up your hammock, so a tent is a good back up choice for us.   I like a tent because it allows me space to move around, store extras, get changed etc, but hammock camping has some great benefits plus its fun.  And it is one great way to relax.

Have you ever camped in the rain? And I don’t mean a sun shower. I mean rain, that doesn’t ease up. Good or bad experience? Generally, most people will say its far from ideal, and many just pack up and head home early.     And if that is possible, then do it.  Because it is not fun.     Sometimes, ending a holiday is not possible, and you are going to have to just deal with it. Important disclaimer before you read further:   I do like rain on the tent at night.   It’s a great sound to hear when you are warm and dry.  So a little rain, is not going to kill you, and doesn’t mean a ruined ..read more
