Untitled. Instant Oatmeal (Just Like the Packets) Post by community member: CindyP Growing up, we had pretty strict menus in the fall and winter months–potato soup every Saturday for lunch, bean soup every Saturday night, fried chicken every Sunday for dinner, and oatmeal every.single.morning. And we weren’t allowed to leave anything on our plate, either. Now, I understand and can appreciate it–all the way up to the oatmeal every.single.morning. I love my Mom and don’t want to say anything bad about her cooking because in every other way she was a fabulous cook. Imagine a glummy glop of something being in your bowl every single morning from the beginning of September through the end of April. I still have that vision every time I think of eating a bowl of oatmeal. But, of course, I could not see myself paying almost $3 for 10 packets of instant oatmeal.

I searched the web to figure out what are in those little packets that make them so edible (besides the flavoring). How to make Instant Oatmeal Packets: Printable. Container Stories. The dog days of summer bring with it a wanderlust to pack up the car and hit the road. And that's just what this dog Eli - and his dad David, did!

I have a small car. I like my small car. I want to be able to tow a very basic trailer, which nobody seems to manufacture at anything close to what the average person can afford. My requirements: 1. Either indoor cooktop propane burners, or enough counter/table space INSIDE to accommodate a portable camp stove.

I don’t need a shower, oven, toilet, bunk beds, hood fan, or masses of storage. The motorcycle-grade trailers and fold-out tent-trailers are great, but you can’t cook INSIDE of them. You used to be able to buy fully-featured traditional-styled popup-campers weighing less than 900 lbs; nobody makes them any more. I’ve seen some self-made teardrop trailers where the roof folds upward at the back – making the rear interior space livable/workable. Map of Campers for sale in the Tampa Bay Area.

There are a number of options available for awnings for small campers in the US. I've broken them into a few classes of awning below. Retractable awnings These awnings roll back into a protective case, using either a hand crank or an electric motor.

They can be rolled out to any percentage of open, meaning you can pull out just a small bit if space is limited. Fiamma F45i ($700 + brackets + freight): this is the premium campervan awning. Aluminum case; hand crank with optional electric motor; heavy-duty material. Fiamma F65: larger than the F45, otherwise similar. Dometic Horizon (aka A&E Horizon) (~$800 + freight): Now known as Dometic, used to be A&E. Rhino Rack Foxwing Awning ($600): Very cool - comes out and wraps around 270 degrees, to shade the side and the back of your vehicle. 100% UV protection, and available for either the left or right side of the vehicle. Bag awnings Fiamma F35 Pro: another nice awning from Fiamma. More pictures and information on this ih8mud.com thread. Gear. Camping. Camping. Hiking & vagabondism. Hiking & vagabondism. Travel Tips.

Pitch a tent, fire, pack a cooler, tie a two half-hitches: these are the camping basics. Even if you didn’t study them in the Boy Scout handbook, online guides make them easy to learn. But what about the lesser-known, less intuitive ways to make camping more pleasant, comfortable or efficient? These are camping’s best-kept secrets — today we might call them “camping hacks”.

Most can’t be found in a book. Think hard and you may discover you’ve built some up yourself: A bandanna doubles as a beer koozie. Hearts is the perfect camp card game. A ghost story is best told with someone hiding in the woods supplying sound effects. But the best camping hacks come from people whose hearts and minds are constantly on the next meadow and copse, the trailhead, mountaintop or campsite.

By Maria Popova “My experience is what I agree to attend to,” William James wrote in his timeless treatise on attention and multitasking, and yet at any given moment we notice only a fraction of what is actually going on around us. The vast majority of our attention is spent on rumination, speculation, daydreaming, and the various acrobatics of anxiety, hope, and fear that occupy our inwardly oriented minds.

But while mind-wandering may be integral to creativity, it has also been shown to rob us of happiness by ejecting us from presence. That all too human tendency is what Brooklyn-based Dominican designer María Sanoja confronts in 100 Days of Overthinking. Sanoja writes: I was overthinking, as usual, when I bumped into this blackboard outside a café that I pass by every day. In an effort to be more mindful of these overthoughts and bring herself back into presence with whatever was before and around her, she set out to notice and record one hundred such moments. Businessinsider. The Real Cause of Depression May Have Nothing at All to Do With Your Mind. Alex Pietrowski, StaffWaking Times Depression is epidemic in our society, and the mainstream solution is a trip to the psychiatrist and an indefinite prescription for pharmaceuticals.

Dependent on psychotropic drugs to get by is no way to live, and in the search for happiness, both individuals, doctors and scientists alike are beginning to crack the code of depression, and to question if the pharmacutical solution even works. George Slavich, a clinical psychologist at the University of California in Los Angeles, has for decades been working to learn more about how our bodies and our minds work, or don’t work, together to regulate the emotional system and mood.

His findings have led him to the conclusion that depression is not a condition that is isolated in the mind, and that the body may play a primary role in causing or preventing depression. “I don’t even talk about it as a psychiatric condition any more. Is Depression All in the Mind? Read more articles from Alex Pietrowski. One Of These 17 Florida Campsites Has Just What You’re Looking For. All Things Dog Blog.

Be sure to have an updated ID tag and/or microchip on your dog, just in case your dog gets lost.

Best Camping Tips from the Pros. Travel + adventure Archives - The Morning Fresh. Here’s the thing: When I was a young adult living in Florida, I spent every weekend trying to get outside. And for some reason, I thought I had to cross state lines in order to achieve outdoor bliss. I’d spend up to 12 hours driving in a single weekend to go camp. If only I knew then what I know now. I went on a two-day camping trip to Ginnie Springs to film an outdoor video for VISIT FLORIDA, and it completely changed my perspective on getting outside in my home state. Here are five reasons why Florida is the USA’s untapped, entirely underrated gem for outdoor adventure: There’s an activity for every outdoorist.

At the Ginnie Springs welcome center, I saw folks hauling personal watercraft, inner tubes, scuba and snorkeling gear, hiking equipment, camping gear, BBQ supplies — the works.
