I love camping but where I grew up in the bustling skyscraper city of Singapore, only homeless people went camping. Even then, they were a rare find because the infamous social engineers of Singapore were quick to spot them and usher (read shove) them back to civilization.

Anyway, my home today is in a quiet suburb of Boston, Massachussetts now. I live in a household of 6, and one of the rare U.S. households where there are more adults 4 (me, spouse, his parents) than kids 2. You see why I need to be outdoors a lot?
Thankfully, nature and the beautiful outdoors still exists here in the beautiful United States of America.

Are you planning to take your dog on your next camping trip? I have a dog who mind-reads. She knows long before the camping bags come out. She paces and worries and gets all anxious about being left behind. And the guilt that stabs me as I push my dog’s...

Every campground has their share of obnoxious campers. Someone said, look to your left, to your right, in front of you, behind you, if you don’t see an obnoxious camper, you may be it.
