Answers to Your QuestionsI'd like to thank my readers for sending so many great comments and important questions. One of the biggest questions has been, "Where is the camping checklist?" My answer is, "It's coming soon!" I'd like to find out what YOU think is the most "can't go without it" checklist item for camping. Please send in your ideas, and I'll post them to share with our fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Until then, get outside (yes - even in the cold!), be safe, and take in the beauty of nature.

We used a light-weight wooden box w/lid for coffee pot, cups, spoons, hot choc mix, sugar, etc. 3/2/2009 2:23:55 PM Jer said: I usually go overnight backpacking in the Mt. Zirkel wilderness area, Clark, CO. This is on the continental devide trail, and ranges from 8,000' - 12,100' here are 10 things that I always take with me, sometimes it's the only 10 things i bring, besides what I'm wearing... 1. Backpack, with extra zip-lock bags all sizes ...with the ziplock bags, you can collect food, water from rain, use as gloves, keep your feet dry when crossing shallow rivers, and may many more uses. 2. water filter & bladder pack ...i prefer not to get gallardia, or any other parasites. 3. Wool Army blanket, ...blanket is warm, folds really small, and lightweight. nights are usually cold up there! 4. 30-80' 300lb test thinline(rope)&fishing line ...use to tie up your food away from bears, tie down & together your shelter, make livetraps/snares, catch fish, mend clothing, and more. 5. My camera & batteries & steel wool ...love to take beautiful pictures, never know what you'll see. plus i leave my wildview game camera up in the mountains, so i can check to see what pics i got on it. the steel wool & batteries is for starting fires. 6. lightweight 3 cup cook bowl. ...boil water, make stew with berries, meat, fir, etc. 7. Pocket knife & flashlight ...whittle spoon, tent stakes, cut food, firewood, etc. see in the dark. 8. I wear my good hiking boots&bring extra socks 9. Rainfly or emergency blanket. ...for use as a good solid roof when it rains, cover when walking, hide your pack during a day hike, collect rainwater, etc. 10. loud stainless whistle. ...just in case. hope this inspires you all to go out and enjoy the wilderness, knowing you can pack light, and still have modern conveniences. one item can have many, many uses.
