What Style Sleeping Bag Do You Use?
Sleeping bags come in two styles: mummy and rectangular. Mummy sleeping bags usually cost a little more and weigh a little less than rectagular sleeping bags. The mummy bag fits close to your body, whereas the rectangular bag gives you some extra leg and elbow room.
When backpacking, I use a compact lightweight mummy sleeping bag, but when tent camping, I like the roominess of my oversize (and bulky) rectangular sleeping bag.

Make Summer Camp Plans NOW!
If you've ever thought about or wanted to send your kids to summer camp, now would be a good time to reconsider. Summer camp is a great way for kids to grow and learn social skills. Many popular summer camps are booked a year in advance, so you're wise to make reservations as soon as possible. To help you find a summer camp, check out these resources:
- Outdoor Adventure Programs - for kids who like the outdoors, these camps offer backpacking, rock climbing, sea kayaking, river rafting, and more.
- Summer Camp Directories - these sites allow you to search thousands of kids camps by price, location, activities, and other preferences.

Get Ready for Camping Season
Spring Cleaning - Are you getting cabin fever? Don't worry, spring is just around the corner. Time to shake the cobwebs off your camping gear, air it out, and get it ready for another camping season. If you haven't done so already, before packing up for that first outdoor trip of the year, it's a good idea to check your gear for wear and tear, mold or mildew, dirt and grime, or signs of damage that may require some repairs.
With a little care and maintenance, most camping gear will last you a lifetime. Just because a piece of gear may be damaged doesn't mean that it has to be replaced.

Calling All Campground Photographers
In November, I asked if any of you had ever tent camped in the snow? Well, since then there has been lots of snow across the country. Did any of you by chance tent camp in the snow and take a photo? If so, please submit your photo for inclusion on the Camping Community Gallery. I'm sure readers would love to see a photo of the brave souls who tent camped this winter.

What Do You Like On Your Hotdog?
Hotdogs are one of the most popular foods cooked at the campground. Who hasn't sat around a campfire at night roasting a hotdog on a stick. There isn't any right or wrong way to eat, prepare or top a hotdog. If you had a table full of condiments and you had just plopped a juicy hotdog in a bun, what toppings would you most likely choose to complete your dog?
My favorite combo is mustard, chili, shredded cheddar and chopped sweet onion. They call this a coney where I come from. What's your favorite? Take the poll. Multiple selections are allowed, so you may choose any combination of toppings for your hotdog.
If you have another way to garnish a hotdog, please click on the comments link below and tell us about it.
