Thank you so much for reading, Camping is for Everyone. As my campground, Wanderland, which is located in North Georgia, grew in popularity with new campers every week, I found that I was asked similar questions such as; “What should we bring camping?” “What size tent should we buy?” ”Can I bring my dog camping?”
Many people knew how much time I spent in the forest, but most didn't know about the project that was underway. For years, I would research a new topic with each excursion and every weekend another bushcraft skill was explored.
