Camping

     We have some friends that love to go camping but really have nowhere to camp at so a few times a year we invite them out to our place and they camp out on the property.   We pitch a tent also and we all have a good time.   Hubby teaches people about how to build a campfire; how to skin and butcher wild life; etc. and our teenage son teaches foraging, plant identification and trapping.   Here are some pictures we want to share.

This is the tent we stay in.  It is really big and has two rooms.
