In what is a relatively new tradition for my family and I, we packed up and headed west to New Harmonie State Park for the holiday weekend to enjoy some camping with friends.

I’m not one of those people that has an emergency generator under a tarp in my back yard. I don’t stock MREs in my basement or have shelves of canned food that I rotate regularly. Honestly, I wish I were, because you never know what might go wrong.
Camping can certainly be a fun family adventure but what happens if you pack up the loads of "survival gear" and drive a few hours out of town only to face unpleasant weather and closed attractions? Well, you could go all Clark Griswold or you could make the best of your trip like local teacher, Adrienne Mayse. Check out her camping chronicles and how she dealt with unforeseen challenges
I'm not a world traveler by any stretch of the imagination, having been no farther west than St. Louis, and no farther north than Ft.

My hunting days have been behind me for roughly 20 years, but if you've ever been to a Bass Pro Shop, you know it's much more than a hunting store. Over the past year, my family and I have become campers after purchasing a good friends pop-up when he decided to upgrade to something a bit bigger...
Are you noticing a theme here? (Hint: I like food.)
Much like Dunkin' and Joe's above, I've only been to a Fudrucker's once during a trip to visit a close family friend in Knoxville, Tennessee a few years back. If you're unfamiliar with Fudd's, the concept is pretty simple; it's Subway with hamburgers — sort of...
The great part about summer is that it gives us all the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. The bad part is sharing nature with all the nasty little buggers cause issues when they bite. Here's an easy way to keep those pests at bay by mixing together a few common household ingredients.
