Going camping for the first time on my own

Will...like Ira says...you won't go hungry...especially if there are any DO chefs in the crowd...Gage and Grant know how to work these things...just show up with a fork!! Doug

Will, I too was a bit timid when I went to the spring fling in Randle, Wa. teardrop outing. Well all the good folks there made me feel right at home. I had a blast there, even had one very nice lady there interpret some of the events for me. Wow I was lucky.

Cool, I'll still bring something to the cookout for anybody to use and stuffs just so I can contribute something to the event.

I still have a bunch of foods that I got in a care package (if u remember from some of my past post, you would know that I was without job for the last 6 months until 3 weeks ago) that I never going to cook or don't know how to cook properly anyway. And I would still like to clear up some space in my kitchen anyway.

Oh! would anybody there be willing to help me season my 12" Dutch Oven?
I don't have any place to season it here and don't know anybody with a large enought grill to help do it. Whoever helps me season the DO will have the first dib on the freebie items and foods

This is if I do have enought money to help pay my bills and to pay for the gas money to the campground. (So plz help out by buying some of my stuffs for sale from below. )


__________________________________________________________________________________________
Kinda off topic but I wanna take advantage of the event to sell or get rid of these items
__________________________________________________________________________________________


I also got a bunch of stuffs I'm trying to sell so go to my site and let me know if anybody going there may like me to bring some of these items to sell there at the campground (or to give away cause I got a freebie page of items i'm giving away some). A bunch of these items might be useful for y'all outdoor ppl like the cot that i'm selling for $1 that usually goes for around $30 in walmart

Items for sale
Items for free!!

The only thing I can't bring is the "Comfy Chair" so if u want to buy it then u may have to go through colorado springs. PM me for info on how to pick it up. (Serious inquiry plz! I've had a few ppl planning to buy and then change mind before they even seen or tried out the chair)



P.S.
If this is not appropriate to the forum (Some forum are kinda strict on this kind of things), plz let me know and i'll try to move the info to a appropriate one.

hey Will, how come you're giving away the switchblade comb???


[just a joke!]

[curiouswill]

lol see my head? it cut the hair off it!!

anyway, I've just found out that there was a confusion about my day off so Originally I really didn't have the day off this weekend but since it was my manager fault (for losing my day-off request paper) she decided to go ahead and let me off this saturday and sunday (I asked to work on sunday anyway cause I could use some more hours).

So what this mean is that I may be on the way there in the morning and meet y'all at around lunchtime (hopefully early enought for you all to use up my freebie foods showing me tips and trick with DO) I'll bring a bunch of the stuffs that I was gonna sell cause I might wanna give it away anyway cause I still have too many things taking up space in my tiny apartment.

I've had made a friend the last week and he is off this weekend so I might be able to take him with me to the campground. He knows a little signs so hopefully if he comes, he could help me a bit with interperating some. (though i'll still bring some notepad in case he don't want to come or are too busy).

In the meantime till the event, I'll be trying to fix up some part of my car like replacing the spark plugs and to hook up the radiator fans (still works, just need to be ready to pull over to cool down on the way)

Hopefully everythings goes well with the trip. C'y'all this saturday

Our camping cooking is pretty simple. One fry pan, one pot/cover. 2 plates, knife/fork/spoon for each. One very sharp knife.

2 burner stove and a few other things including tongs for flipping bacon. one spatula.

Wash up is done by heating water in the pot, add 2 drops of soap. A plastic salad bowl holds rinse water. 1 sponge.

wash in pot, rinse in salad bowl, drip dry on picnic table, wipe excess with paper towel.

hot dog/beans. soup/bread. salads, etc. Beer, wine, cola, etc. Rarely does any meal take over 15 minutes to prepare. Simple is good, that is why we camp.

If we want a fancy meal, we tend to go out for them.
