Personal Narrative: My Camping Divided
his is one of the best camping stoves I have ever seen. It's built to last a lifetime and I consider it the Cadillac of all camping stoves. It's the Brunton Wind River Range™and this two burner stove has an individual burner output of 15,000 BTUs. I like the fact that it has a windshield built in. There is nothing more difficult than cooking outdoors when the wind is blowing, but this stove can be moved so that the windshields protect the flame from strong winds, and cooking will be fast and efficient.

We spend many of our long weekends camping and have been looking for really good camping stoves. It's a real challenge to cook in the wind. With these wind protectors, I could cook anywhere in almost any weather. I'm really fussy about what I put on the table in terms of taste and temperature. My family has learned that I take a great deal of pride in what I cook and bringing food piping hot to the table is a necessity for me.

When we camp, we spend a lot of energy hiking and that really helps our appetite, so we eat a lot when we're camping. We pack frozen food and cook it throughout our camping trip. We add a little dry ice to the cooler

I like to shop online and stores like this that have a wide range of products are really convenient for shopping because there is less navigation involved. This site also has a lot of camping cookware, too. I am switching my camping cookware from nonstick to stainless steel because it lasts forever and isn't all that hard to clean up. It's also considered the healthiest cookware, too, camping or at home, so when I see good deals on stainless steel pots and pans, I'm snatching them up. I love getting our camping gear online because I save money and time and over the course of a year, both of those add up, making it possible for us to have more time to go out camping and enjoying the food, scenery, and the great

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    Friday. T minus 15 hours till the last day of camp. The Saturday volunteer cancelled. My game plan was crumpled up and trashed. “Why hadn’t I thought of backup plan?” I asked myself, on the verge of pulling out my hair. I hadn’t taken into account all the variables and now I was receiving the repercussions. I had no idea becoming the Transportation Coordinator for a camp would be so stressful.…

    Pow! Right smack in my forehead crushing my skull. The metal baseball bat knocked in my skull. It was a warm sunny day in the middle of the summer. Joey, my brother, was hitting tennis balls over my house. Little 10 year old me was playing in the yard and my brother purposely pushed me far away so he wouldn’t hit me. Oh how I was a stupid little kid. I was intrigued by what he was doing so I started wandering over to like how not knowing little kids do. As I approached my brother he was so focused on himself that he did not see me. When I finally reached him he had just set up to hit another ball. He hits the ball, but on his back rotation, the bat makes contact with my head. I fell hard on the pavement. Before I went unconscious I heard my…

    People had to travel far to get wood to keep their homes warm. The heat of the burning wood would travel right up their chimneys and did not heat their homes very well, so Benjamin Franklin invented the Franklin Stove, which was a cast iron box in which a fire burned. The box prevented heat from escaping and caused heat to radiate from all four sides and fill the room with warmth. The stove’s air flow could be adjusted to control the rate at which the wood was burned. The stove was also safer than the typical fireplace because it prevented stray sparks from starting fires outside the fireplace (Appendix E). The Franklin Stove was a great invention because it was more efficient and safer than the heating device at the time, a fireplace (Fuller,…

    On our trip to Cedar Glen, I learned numerous things that will benefit me in the future and assist me in making crucial decisions. One of the things I learned is group dynamics and working with other people. My group participated in various activities, such as logs and marshmallows, which taught us that we shouldn’t just focus on ourselves when completing a task, but also everybody in our group. In both logs and marshmallows, our group made sure each person reached the other side instead of just themselves, which the reason why we accomplished the activity is that we worked together as a team. I also learned that in a group, there could be people who lead a task, maintain a group, or focus on themselves. In low ropes and high ropes, we learned…

    This past summer I traveled up north to Leelanau, Michigan, with my best friend, Mary, and her family. Mary’s family is basically a second family to me because we have known each other since Kindergarten. Her family goes up every year for a family vacation, but this was my first time going up with them because her older sister could not come this year. While we were up there, we traveled around to several tourist places. One of the places we went was Sleeping Bear Dunes. I have been to this place several times before, but it constantly takes my breath away because of its beauty. At the Sleeping Bear Dunes there is a hill that leads straight to Lake Michigan. This hill is so steep that from the top it looks more like a cliff than a hill. Mary, all five of her brothers, and I ran down the hill in less than a minute trying to race each other to the…
