The group of boys that decide that they are going to go on a camping trip and find themselves going through new experiences the entire time. “Extraordinary Little Cough” shows the journey of a group of friends as the set out on their first journey all alone. Throughout the short story, “Extraordinary…

Have you ever had to go to the Upper Peninsula and stay at a small cabin in the woods with your family for a vacation? I had to. There was a lot of trees to climb. I got to sleep in a cabin that had rooms mixed in with each other. There was even a wide space to play on. Going to the Upper Peninsula was fun and here are three reasons why. One reason why going to the Upper Peninsula was fun was because there were lots of trees to climb. Some trees were small, most of them were big though. The big…

The Mammoth sports a soft cotton flannel lining with a temperature rating of 0 degrees F, helping campers stay cozy in almost any family camping locale.

In one hike you can get it all: redwood groves, wildflower-filled meadows, rocky outcroppings, cascading creeks and sweeping views. This is Sonoma County at its best, the Pomo Canyon Trail, a 4.5-mile stretch between a wooded campground and Shell Beach. Naturally, unless you bring two cars, enjoying the entire trail would cause you to rack up nine miles. If you start at the Pomo Canyon Campground, you might have to add another mile, as when I hiked it, the campground was closed, and I do not…

The debris hut is an extremely versatile wilderness survival shelter. It can be built in almost any habitat and does not require tools or special equipment. Creating an effective shelter is one of the most important priorities in a survival situation. Most lost people perish from hypothermia, which may have been easily avoided had they constructed a simple shelter. The leaves keep in your body heat so you don’t freeze to death. Also the debris hut can camouflage you from unwanted predators. For…

For the seventh straight year, 80 of my Iranian family members and I made plans to stay at the Catoctin Mountains for a weekend camping trip. Every year, camp is filled with laughter, excitement, music, and dance. The setting is beautiful and stress free. I expected camp to be even better this past year because I had finally reached the age where I would be allowed to bunk with my older cousins. Turns out I was completely wrong. A searing pain in my abdomen woke me up at five in the morning. I…
