Our power has apparently been on since about 4:00, but we're not home to enjoy it, as we're attending my cousin's wedding reception aboiut 100 miles away and in a hotel. We just hot tubbed :)

like- propane stove instead of flint and steel.

I'm making a chuck wagon box once the weather clears for a bit, keep the camp stoves and cast iron, some durable ware in it.

I could likve forever with a tarp and a hammock, but with the family we are in an 11x13 tent and looking at one of those 3 room palace thingies....

stuff like that.

I have to confess, you are comfortable on far more primative living than I. I can use flint and steel, but even my WhisperLight is so much faster! Even so, I recently traded that in for a nice two burner Coleman.

I grew up backpacking, but last year I went camping with some friends and thought, "Holy cow! This is totally luxurious!!!" I think I've been contaminated by the comforts afforded by not carrying your own weight.

It's too cold for a tarp and hammock here. We've got zero-degree bags all around! My daughter would push for the portable palace. But, I'm depriving her. She's stuck with my two-man backpacking tent.
