Camp Kitchen Setup: A Complete Kitchen In One Box

When we car camp, we don't take a fancy chuck box or anything like that. Instead, our "kitchen box" consists of a single 18-gallon storage tote. The tote is also really easy to pack for a trip, since the kitchen box isn't really touched outside of camping. We give it a...

How To Stay Warm Outside In Winter

Many people think it's too cold for outdoor adventures in the winter, but there's a very true phrase you'll hear over and over again from enthusiasts: "there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes". As far as I can tell, it's some kind of Scandinavian proverb, although the first time I...

First Day Hike – Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Reservation

First Day Hikes are actually part of an initiative by US State Parks, but we didn’t make it to one of Ohio’s State Parks on January 1st… in fact, we didn’t make it out of the house on January 1st. Instead, both my son, P, and I had what we believe was a mild...

Hiking Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s Ledges In The Snow

Ask me what my favorite trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park is, and I'll probably say it's The Ledges. Located in the Virginia Kendall area of CVNP, The Ledges is probably the favorite trail of many people -- it's wildly popular, but for good reason: it's a very interesting trail, with lots of...

What My Outdoorsy Kid Is Getting For Christmas

Buying clothing and gear for kids is tough, for a few reasons. For starters, kids grow about six inches every other day, so nothing fits longer than a week at a time. Secondly, decent clothing and outdoor gear is expensive, and kids don’t always take the best care of their things, so they end...

Getting Outdoors During COVID-19 Quarantine?

How can you get kids outside when you're quarantining due to the coronavirus? This past weekend, I found myself in that exact situation. My son developed a cough last Monday and spent the week home from school. After a few days, my ex-husband and I conceded the cough wasn't going anywhere, and...

A Mini Hiking First Aid Kit for Scouts

When my Scouts were working on their Wolf rank, we built our first hiking kits in leftover mint tins. Now that my Scouts were a bit older, I thought we should move on to a larger, sturdier first-aid kit (for the larger, sturdier amounts of trouble they can get themselves into)....

A Short Hike in Bradley Woods Reservation

Bradley Woods is a 795-acre swamp forest hidden away on the border of Westlake, OH and North Olmsted, OH. Like a lot of places in northeast Ohio, it's also the site of an old sandstone quarry (you can't throw a rock without hitting an old sandstone quarry here--and any rock you find to...

What’s In My Daypack

What do I keep in my hiking pack? Depending on the hike, I'll add different items to what's in my daypack -- obviously, more food and water if I'm going to be on a longer hike; I'll bring my lunch and plenty of snacks if I plan on being out all day. ...

Late October Cabin Getaway

Dave found this cute "couples getaway" cabin on AirBNB and sent it to me in the middle of a workday. "Do you think your boss would let you take PTO and we could book this for next week?" Oh, heck yes. We both took three days off work, dropped our dog off at...
