For the most part, our 20 years of camping haven’t required an extra screen tent. As we headed up to Colorado’s 10,000 foot heights, however, we thought back to the incredible hoards of blood sucking mosquitos we found while backpacking on Mt. Margaret in Denali NP. Wanting to keep the mosquitos at bay, while not […]
It’s been a crazy few weeks with very little Internet connection but lots of connection to nature. Travelling in our little Egg (and just travelling domestically in general) always fills us with a vast well of gratitude for the beauty and richness of this land and her people. We have so much to cherish in […]
Our style of camping might be a bit different than most. We, generally, look for small out-of-the-way places to camp that are near quirky and historic sites. Our preference is to find a place where few camp so we can enjoy the forests and the solitude. Most of our trips are 4 day weekends at […]
Looking through my posts, I realize I have not shared our Egg’s summer look with you. We camp year round so I have the large vibrant heavy quilt for Fall and Winter but needed a lighter, smaller quilt for the rest of the season to help with more frequent washing when rain brings in muddy […]
Thanks to Aldi grocery and $12.99, my zen camping chair now has the perfect shade cover. It’s a lightweight and very compact 6′ beach umbrella! I use my favorite twisty bendable flex-ties to affix it to the chair (see my post on sticks and lights for a picture of those flex-ties). Nirvana! For those that […]

Since cabinet space is much too precious and finding a place for a hanging bracket was a challenge– Not to mention, a bracket requires remembering to secure the roll for transit. There just isn’t any fun in realizing, […]

Traveling in a 17′ two-dog, no wet bath camper, trash storage can be a real issue. There really is no good place to put a trash can so one needs to be inventive. In my case, I was given a souvenir Mexican woven purse many years ago and it works as the perfect, pretty receptical […]
We travel with a 22lb Corgi and a 52lb Bassador. They light up our camping travels and bring us so much joy. They need their own gear, too. This is what we consider essential. A cable or soft flat long lead to string between two trees or poles onto which you can thread a long […]
