"Camping North Carolina "provides useful information about public
campgrounds in the state of North Carolina. Within each of the
campground listings is vital information on location, road
conditions, fees, reservations, dates of operation, available
facilities, and recreational activities. You will also find many
fun and exciting things to do in the surrounding areas of each
campground, from hang gliding on the Outer Banks to zip lining in
the mountains, watching the wild mustangs run on the beach, or
simply sitting by a waterfall. Also included is helpful information
about camping basics and etiquette, camping with children, and the
state's diverse and abundant wildlife. Pack up the tent, load the
RV, and hit the road. With this guide in hand, North Carolina is
yours to explore.
How can you pack all the camping gear and clothing needed for two
people on a motorcycle? At first, it may seem impossible but it is
easier than you think-if you do your homework. You must learn how
to acquire the right gear, how to pack it, and how to use it at
your campsite.
"Lightweight Camping for Motorcycle Travel" provides the
information and suggestions you will need to buy the right
clothing, tents, sleeping bags, tools, lights, cookware, and other
camping gear. It describes how to set up comfortable campsites, use
ropes and knots, cook great tasting meals, stay dry in stormy
weather, stay warm on cool nights, and prolong the life of your
gear.
Once you take a few trips and master the necessary skills, you
will enjoy many pleasures you could never experience in an
expensive motel room. You will enjoy breathing fresh air and
smelling food cooking at the campground. You will enjoy walking on
scenic trails and relaxing at your campsite. In the evening, you
will enjoy sitting by a warm campfire, listening to an owl, and
occasionally hearing a gentle rain falling on your tent.
An inspiring, aspirational and practical guide to building fires
both indoors and out. 'A cracking book' Sainsbury's Magazine
'Follow these tips and your inner caveman will be proud' Sunday
Times 'A brilliantly informative guide with stylish illustrations'
Yorkshire Post 'Celebrates the heart-warming properties of the
hearth' Simple Things Nothing beats the companionable crackle of an
open fire. Fires invite us to sit and share stories or watch in
contemplative silence. We feel drawn to the flickering flames, the
gentle curls of aromatic smoke and reassuring radiant heat.
Snuggled under a blanket, toasting crumpets and listening to the
pleasing pops of burning wood - what better way to spend a winter's
evening? Or, come the summer, few pleasures are richer than cooking
food, perched around a campfire, waiting for the stars to come out.
But for all this talk, how many of us know how to build a fire?
Would we know which kinds of trees burn best? Could we make our own
firelighters or build the perfect fire stack? The Little Book of
Building Fires is a richly illustrated pocket guide to sourcing,
seasoning and storing firewood, choosing kindling and tinder, and
how to build and light the perfect fire. From campfires to
woodburners, bonfires to open hearths, this book blends
practicality with personal experience and will get you back in
touch with your ancient firemaking instincts.
Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through
sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget
the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life
slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for
their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on.
Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you
going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this
book we define the best driving routes around France for camper
vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what
to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around
France on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes
and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun, often
free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers;
for walkers, wine-quaffers, climbers and skiers. We include the
steepest, the bendiest, the most picturesque and most interesting.
And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome - we'll
tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the
journey. All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy
maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and
motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through
it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported
(albeit slowly) to vineyards, beaches, mountains and highways that
make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!
