No, I've never tried sage in the fire, but I bet it helps... I would soak the bundle before I tried it, though

And as a side bonus, its should help keep ghosts away :D

That's sure cheaper than a decent hotel, and the view should be MUCH better.

Just be REAL careful about which leaf...

Last one for the night, we all know the UK to be a cold, damp, miserable clime... yet this man swears by room heaters that use nothing more than tea candles and pot planters.

I WILL be trying this next year, I bet its an amazing way to heat a small space...

Save your dryer lint and toilet paper rolls. Pack the dryer lint in the empty toilet paper rolls. They make great fire starters.

Whenever you go on a float trip especially here in the Ozarks, Always carry a six to eight foot piece of garden hose. Getting dumped out of the canoe usually happens at River bends and log jams. Which is where the greatest danger of getting trapped under the water happens.
a person can you supposed to breathe with until they are freed.

That's half the fun of camping.

AMEN!!!

Why is pee important here? Couldn't you do the same thing with water?

Funny story. First time I took my boy camping (he was 3). It was around Halloween out on 20 acres behind my buddy's dad's house. We decided to play a trick on them. We planted the children's heads with a ghost story about a midget witch who only gets children. About an hour later my buddy's sister sneaks up through the woods acting like she's the midget witch. Besides my son there were 3 other children: my daughter age 13 and his two sons aged 12. She sneaks up my daughter starts bawling as did one of his sons, the other just barfed immediately. My son doesn't say a word, shows no emotion, straight up walked up to her and decked her. It was over at that point as even the midget witch was rolling.

Take her here. It's perfect for you. All the stuff like tents, ice, firewood and water are taken care of for you and you get a small island to yourselves.

LMAO Leave it to the young'n.

You tellin' me someone who listens to Riff Raff is not the out doors type?

C'mon.

You'd better not be under very long if you're trying to breath through a hose that long. Almost all the air you inhale will be air you just exhaled and it won't take long to run out of oxygen.

It's stories like these why I love the outdoors. Being isolated from technological and other life distractions. Being isolated from the world and just focusing on nature and the other people around. I think it's more of a stop and pay attention thing because I've got a ton of memories from these trips that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
