The Great Camping Event - Day 1

Well it's officially begun! The Great Camping Event is running starting today for 2 weeks on this blog and Callista's Ramblings. Each blog will have reviews, giveaways, guest posts and general camping posts from me. If you put the blog button on your sidebar before Aug 2 and comment here you'll get 5 extra entries for every giveaway you enter.

So why do I like camping?

• Getting close to nature
• Eating fire cooked food
• Sitting around the campfire
• Smores!
• Seeing the stars (unobstructed by the city buildings and trees)
• The peace and quiet (generally, unless you're beside a group of young drinkers.)

I prefer car camping although some day I'd like to try backpacking. I live in South Western Ontario (the southernmost city actually) so there are no bears where I camp. I don't camp anywhere near as often as I'd like to because of funds (or lack thereof.)

So enjoy the next two weeks on both blogs! They won't have the same content (except for the intro post.)

If any PR or companies still want to have me review their product or book and can get it to me before Aug 2 I'll include it. I'm also still accepting guest posts from bloggers about camping. Just shoot me an email (callista83 AT cogeco DOT ca)
