Hi Erick here. I'm from south east Michigan I grew up camping with my parents. Tent camping but we brought the house. I have a wife and 2 kids both boys oldest is 5. they love camping well I think it's just the staying up late and smores but hey the memories.

Right now we are tent campers hope to move into a pop-up once the ecomony picks up (I am an automotive enginner), we are avid cyclists, mountain biking mostly, so we like to focus our camping trips around mountain bike trails/my races.

I hope go get some tips to do more with less, and refine my camping abilities and not go off of my childhood memories of how my parents did it 20 years ago.

Hello everyone. I'm from north western Montana. Up until a couple of months ago I was a die-hard tent camper and never considered buying a travel trailer or camper of any kind. Then my wife started buggin about this travel trailer that was for sale close to our house......next thing you know its parked in our driveway.
I usually camp as far off the beaten path as possible which is why I've resisted any type of "camper" until now. I have yet to stay in an actual RV park type campground, we usually drag our TT up in the woods to places with no services or other campers to annoy us or us annoy them.
I have to admit it sure makes getting out easier when you have a 2 year old and 4 dogs.
Thanks in advance for answering my stupid questions as I'm sure I'll have many since I'm new to owning/maintaining/repairing travel trailers.

Hey everyone, I'm from Pennsylvania and I'm a geologist, so sleeping among the rocks and in the wilderness is my thing. I look forward to trading camping ideas with you all.

To explain above title. We are a 70 year old. Wife and I have camped ?50?
years. Began in a tent, with a nearly new born, bundled in cushions and
blankets.
Have had tents, pop-ups, class c JayCo (28ft.) And for past 12 years a
1985 Roadtrek Versatile. (Class B) Still with less than a hundred-thousand miles on the lady. Before JCo an Explored on a Dodge 318. (ClassB)
Have fished and boated for as long as can remember.
Wife was a farm girl, never fished or boated. She can now bank or boat a
steelhead or laker as well as any man. And, on the Chi-Cheemaun she
can enjoy a full meal on the rougest of crossings. Am very interested in camping and fishing on eastern half of U.P. of Michigan.

Howdy Angler57,
Hope you don't mind but you had your font in a red color and it wasn't working too good here so I changed it for you. Welcome to the campfire! Please feel free to enliven us with some tales from the area where you are from, Indianna, right? Thanks for joining!

Howdy desertfox; Not much interesting about us. We even bore ourselves at times. Camp mostly in Kentucky. Son lives in Lexington Ky. Camp near Frankfort Ky. Elkhorn Creek camp.
Good kayaking and smallmouth. Camp next to creek bank.
Recent ten years have visited Ontario, Canada each year, in either spring or fall. First year fishing there, learned a valueable
lesson. Never drop a large northern pike into your lap in a kayak.

That's a great intro Angler, northern's can be a bit rough out of water, I know what you mean. Perhaps you might want to start a new thread with some of your fishing/camping stories...we would love to hear! Go ahead, start a new thread, anyone can start one. This one is just to say hi and introducing one's self to the camping community. Thanks for taking the time to join and hanging in there while your first half dozen posts/threads are moderated. But once thru then there is just about any topic open to discuss about camping except religion and politics. Welcome to the camping message board.
