I don't know if any of this forum's users are also mountaineers, and granted it's Denali. Nonetheless, I think this incident does highlight the fact that we need to be sure if our bodies can take it before we challenge ourselves into doing a potentially strenuous outdoor activity. Sometimes, our enthusiasm just gets the better of us. Your thoughts?02013-02-05T15:57:23Zmaximohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/3139/scope/postsFor our upcoming camping trip, we decided that we'd do a bit of rappelling. My nephew overheard us talking about it and wants to join us. Personally, I don't mind. He's 12 years old and very responsible and mature compared to most kids his age. But his mom won't hear of it, telling us that it's too dangerous and he is underage. That got me thinking. Is there a minimum age requirement for someone to be allowed to go rappelling?22011-01-04T23:57:58ZLarry and Ritahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/671/scope/postsI normally don't play games (Drives my DW nuts) but while we were staying at Travel Inn In Elma Wa. We played a card game called Card Bingo. It wasn't the normal game everyone associates with Bingo. The game starts with 3-nickles, 3-dimes, 3-quarters and a dollar bill. Each table consists of 4 players, and a deck of regular Poker style playing cards. One person deals the cards (13 to each player) in normal style. Each player arranges the cards in front of thier area, face up. and puts a coin in the pot. The Caller at the lead table, names the game playing at that time, and this is where I need everyones help!! What are the various 10 games? Like (the men throw away thier spades and the girls discard thier diamonds.) Has anyone played this game or something similar??32011-03-09T19:06:11Zmary22http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/775/scope/postsI like your article on the cool gadgets, I actually bought 1 of those sandwich maker, they are very useful and the bluetooth mirror is a pretty cool idea, never heard about it before. 12012-07-08T23:23:52Zcoco10http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/2585/scope/postsNot sure if this is interesting but we came across a bunch of DANGER signs (hand written). Shortly after hiking past that area, we came across a group of horse riders and we were told a horse had died on the trail and they just finished hauling the dead horse with a tractor/4 wheeler.52011-09-02T19:07:27Zlizrfousthttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/1164/scope/postsMy sister is celebrating her sweet sixteen birthday in a couple of weeks.

As someone who really loves the outdoors and camping, I think it's great to know that there are now companies that are doing this instead of the usual team building sessions that they have in a seminar room somewhere.32012-05-21T02:00:31Zmikeporterhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/2284/scope/postsOne time while I was hiking, I found an old metal kettle near a small pile of large rocks. It looks almost like it was homemade. Have actually used it a couple of times. Another time while I went hiking with a couple of friends in Wisconsin, we stumbled the remains of what looked like a really small and old cabin. It had just a room and a cooking area. So how about you guys? Found anything interesting during your hikes?92009-08-12T19:00:05ZDamienhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/53/scope/postsWhat is everyone's favorite camping game?

After they got their tent all set up, they fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Joe wakes his faithful friend and says, 'Bill, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.' Bill replies, 'I see millions of stars.' 'What does that tell you?' asked Joe. Bill ponders for a minute, then says, 'Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies, and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small, and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Joe?' Joe is silent for a moment, then says, 'Bill, you are so stupid, someone has stolen our tent.02010-09-02T16:45:07ZBrianFosterhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/36/threadid/554/scope/postsCheck out this crazy Japanese camper!

It's not only a great way to document your trip for friends and family but Its also a great time to improve. There's always another interesting subject or landscape just around the corner. I recently made the move from a 35mm film camera to a Digital SLR. I love the instant feed back, no waiting for pictures to develop. What kind of camera do you use?
