A local photographer, Jensen Hande, decides that dipping one's toe into the backpacking waters isn't for him. Read his account of 2 weeks on the A.T. The Path Less Traveled (excerpt) As a freelance photographer, taking off six months from work was, although tempting, too much time away, so I shortened my trek to two weeks. My departure for the A.T. was etched on my calendar to begin on April

The perfect accessory for people who also own giant SUVs, that they'll never take camping. ::Camp Harrington

I mean trying to live off a knife and waterbottle in the barren wilderness, well sucks. It turns out his adventures were a bit more civilized. According to the Backcountry blog, Bear Grylls is a big fat faker. It appears he has been staying in hotels while "surviving" in the wilderness. Viva la Survivorman. ::Camp Harrington

The Harringtons make a quick trip to the falls. Here's the photos.

Photos from Sedona It's been a while I know, but I figure you can at least see the photos from the Sedona trip. I'll try to wrap up the story soon. ::Camp Harrington

Santa was very good to Camp Harrington this year. Under the tree was an Arcteryx Gamma SV and a JetBoil Java edition. In addition, were several REI gift certificates, enough to pick up a nice GPS unit. With all this new gear, I'm itching to get out there and test. I'm thinking a trip to Cumberland Island is in the near future. I'll be sure to let you know what I think. BTW...Santa brought my

I was trying to find a place in Jacksonville to take the family for a hike and decided I'd to take a look at the City of Jacksonville Park Web site. To my dismay, I find a bunch of links that have little to do with nature or hiking. Of course I expected all the athletic and departmental stuff, but the links were so buried, and the navigation so confusing, I spent a good 30 minutes before I found

With the type of content we typically publish, it seemed smarter to switch to a purely blog format. I was also pretty interested in going with a wider format to allow for more screen real estate. With a little help from BloggerTemplates.com, I've posted this interim version of the new site. I'll continue to tweak the design to make it more our own, but at least for now it'll be easier to post

Hiking Gear, Backpacking Gear, and Backcountry Adventures at Trailspace.com It's been a while I know, but it's camping season again and I'm back in action. I discovered this site recently. They have reviews for nearly everything you can think of. Not to mention a lot of news about new gear, a pretty decent forum and blog. My only complaint is that many people are a little too generous with

Backcountry.com Ironically I'm reading this coming back from our trip to Amicalola Falls, at the base of the AT Trailhead. He's got some interesting suggestions for gear, although I completely disagree with him on the sleeping pad.

With winter well underway, Camp Harrington has added some warm weather items to the gear list. First off, the Coleman Xtreme Cat, which is a small version of the popular Polar cat. It's about 5 inches wide and runs on Butane/Propane fuel. I used it on a recent trip to Rocktown in Georgia and it came in handy. Although a little too small for our 6 man tent, it did raise the temperature inside 5-10

Camp Harrington is planning the first trip of 2005 to Little Talbot Island State Park. Spearheaded by Pippin, it's sure to be a lot of fun. We're hoping to do a little hiking and a little kayaking and a lot of sitting by the fire. Maybe Ron will bring his "delicious" smores.

Culinary Chef Tools for Every Gourmet Kitchen - Mobile Gourmet Ok, so there is a reason my nickname is Cheffrey. I like to cook. This site has very high-end cooking equipment for car campers. It's on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. I'd image you could recreate these kits with lower-end stuff, but it'd be tough to find that great little package they fold into. I recently
