Welcome!

Camping is one of my all time favorite activities ever every summer I make sure that we are out as often as humanly possible. If we want to ensure that there will be beautiful natural places to camp in the future we need to do our best to leave these places as we found them. This lens will give information on how we can camp green and take care of the nature we love. As with all of my lenses, this is a work in progress and welcome and encourage any feedback anyone has to offer. It is more important than ever that we take special care to make sure we do what we can to protect the Earth from more damage.

GREEN Tip of the Day

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure

If you don't have a ton of money to buy a bunch of new expensive camping gear, remember you can always buy used. eBay, thrift stores, craigslist, rummage sales. . .all great places to pick up some used camping gear for cheaper than buying it new. And remember when you are reusing something, you are keeping it out of the landfill, and not having to use any other materials to make something new. You can buy almost anything used. . .tents, sleeping bags, furniture, backpacking gear. . .the list really is endless.
