Camping Your Way Tips

So this is not exactly camping related but I’d thought I’d share.. we tapped the two maple trees in our back yard and made some maple syrup.. this is the first batch. It’s a 40:1 oz ratio as it reduces into syrup. That number can vary, but that’s what we are getting so far. The traditional way to boil it down is at the campfire. See, I brought I back to camping.. 😁😁

Man it’s been a while since I’ve had any motivation to post anything substantial. I was loving it in the fall last year and then so many life things have happened including the loss of my dad.

Everything about camping reminds me of him. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up and camping was our time away together as a family.

We didn’t go on the first trip this year we thought we would go on in this April, but we made it out this week.

For me pulling a trailer is a serious thing that should be done properly and responsibly. I try and make sure that I not only have the proper equipment, but that I am also very alert as I am going down the road.

I am thankful that I have never experienced the “fishtailing” that I see so many times on the road. Sure, the camper may occasionally move a bit when a semi truck barrels past me, but it always gets back to normal within a second or two.

But my question is this: Do you feel the fishtailing while you are driving? It’s not a snarky question. I am just wondering because it can eventually happen to anyone not matter the equipment and I want to know that if it happens to me, will I immediately feel it in my truck?

Installed these in the shower because Mamaw kept slipping and they have been working out great! They stick on very well and are clear, so they are barely noticeable. Not a huge mod and there are probably many other options out there but thought I would share anyway..

I saw on a post somewhere that someone used these to put more shelves in the camper. So I found them online. They supposedly support 16 lbs each peg, so shelves should be sturdy. Next I am getting some shelving board at Menards that matches my cabinets (close but not exact). I will have to cut the shelves to size but I’ll post soon on how it went. No drlling or screws and the shelves are removable.
