Okay, I’ve decided that I’d like my first experience of camping in the snow to be here. Longtime readers of this blog probably thought I’d given up on my Dream UK Camping Trip, because I haven’t mentioned it in a few months, right? Um, no. (Actually, I’ve nearly frozen unto death in Edinburgh before, but that was in a youth hostel and pre-hubby and son.)
If I’m going to be a Jeansicle, I’d like to choose the location, that’s all I’m saying, and I choose this fife.

If you love camping and photography, you’ve got to take a moment out of your day to see this slide show and the videos that follow it. I shall say no more (except that I would’ve loved to have been there with my little point-and-shoot camera!).
Amazon.Com is primed with tons of deals– as much as 50% off– on camping equipment (and everything else under the sun) for Cyber Monday. If you like our website and plan to shop at Amazon, anyway, why not click through our Amazon.Com banner in our sidebar at the left to get to Amazon and do your shopping? That way, you’ll be helping to support Picture Camping while getting great prices on your holiday purchases. (To learn more about affiliate marketing, or to see some camping items we recommend, please visit our sister site, Picture Camping Goods & Gear.)
Thanks, and happy savings!

“Camping is an art form,” the author of this blog asserts (and I agree). “It requires vision, planning and execution. I want to be a master of camping, a Monet, a Rembrandt, a DaVinci. I realized this weekend that I’m far from being a master camper…. You never want pack/unpack time to overshadow actual camp time. This is where my amateur status really hurt us…. [and] The masters of camping don’t forget the can opener, aluminum foil, lantern, salt and pepper, milk and towels all in one trip.”
What follows is an itemized list of everything to be included in the future in duffel bags, buckets, etc., devoted to camping (not to mention personal luggage). We haven’t had a list of camping essentials in some time, Dear Reader, so I thought this one might be helpful.
Remember, your own list may differ quite a bit from anyone else’s; the trick is simply to have one and to use it!
Yours,
Jean B. in SC

This blog post is about an over-night camp out on the roof of an apartment building in San Francisco. I’m sure a lot of the appeal was in the surreptitious nature of the event, and I would have been up for it; but I think it’s a crying shame that city rooftops aren’t all gardens in which people were meant to camp out! Anyway, this is an absorbing glimpse into the adventures of a group of friends who decided to brave the elements and the possibility of getting caught in order to experience their city in a unique way. (And, no, none of them rolled off the roof.)
Oh, the things you learn about yourself while reading others’ blogs! It turns out that I’m a sucker for camping lyrics sung to the tune of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Who knew?
In this brief post, the author observes a man camping out for Black Friday deals on camping gear and it gets her giggling.
Actually, I get the deep-seated need to get deals on camping equipment– though as an internet marketer (see our online affiliate store, http://www.picturecamping-goods-and-gear.com) it strikes me as unnecessary to worry about brick-and-mortar stores! And when comes to people actually camping out in tents in front of stores over Thanksgiving, I wonder two things: first, what do they say to family and friends who might expect to see them for the traditional Thanksgiving meal– “Sorry, the discounts at the mall are more important than you…”– and second, what do they do with all their gear when the doors open and people start to trample each other to get in? I read about a man camping out from Wednesday the 25th til o’dark-thirty on Friday morning in front of Best Buy and he had a generator with him– now you know you can’t schlep that thing through the store. I guess you’d have to have troops with you to stay in the tent and (be trampled) guard everything while you did some shopping.
Just skip Black Friday and go with Cyber Monday! 
I love this idea! I wasn’t a camper until after I married Richard and he got me into it, so I never even considered such a thing some eighteen years ago, but now? I would sooooo go for it! Maybe we can renew our vows someday…
Anyway, this was a beautiful camping wedding and I wish the bride and groom countless beautiful camping experiences in their new life together.
Well, I seem to have a bit of a theme developing here today. This is important information, though, if you camp in snow in areas where you’d usually just dig cat holes. We all have to remain dedicated to leaving no trace, and proper disposal of human waste is especially vital.
By the way, Wag Bag or “Go Anywhere” kits are available through our website, Picture Camping Good and Gear, at this link.
I genuinely LOL’ed when I read this very short article. Richard has agreed to my tent-potty arrangements just in time to save me from a similar life of crime, I think.
