    Anyone have experience with a pocket/travel/camping bellows?

    These types of gadgets aren't too expensive, like $7-$12, and I'm thinking about buying one.. I'm prone to buying camping gadgets, so I probably shouldn't, but thought I'd ask... Normally I huff and puff, and it's suited me well so far, but maybe one of these extendable/retractible...

    SPAM- Not the internet junk, but the delicious, glorious canned food-like loaf- Recipes please!

    I looked for a good forum for a recipe request, so if I picked the wrong one, sorry Mods, please move, and thank you. So maybe someone saw a previous post of mine where I talked about my trip to Hawaii a few years ago…. I talked about hiking, etc. but not about the food! What I never mentioned...

    Looking at something like this Everyone knows I'm a recreational camper mostly, but I rage-quit my job earlier this year, and since I'd saved up a decent amount of scratch, I'm taking the rest of 2019 off as a sabbatical before I find a new job.. I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to...

So I have friends that I've known for 25+ years and I would trust with my life- the kind of friends that are closer than family, and everything's been great for a quarter century, which is...
