      1. (From Sam)-When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will usually keep the campsites on either side vacant.
     2. (From Bill)-Put an insulite pad on a lawn chair at night when it's cold out.  Tip the chair over at night to keep it from blowing away or into the fire.
     3. (From Phyllis and the Boy Scouts)-Use a cast iron Duch Oven with a lip around it to make pizza, lasagna, empenatas, etc.  Cover with hot coals from a wood fire.
     4. (From Jim)-Small packaged portions of condiments that fast food restaurants give out, make excellent additions to a cooks backpack because they are small and waterproof.
     5. (From Larry)-Cut a fire log (purchased in a hardware store) into three pieces and take them camping to use as fire starters on rainy days.
     6. (From Gorden)-Great tips for using plastic tarps to protect your camping gear and instructions on constructing an emergency kayak!  Send e-mail for details (I will provide you with Gordon's e-mail address).
     7. (From Kathy)-It best to view great falls when the Potomac River is running high.  You actually get sprayed with water from the mist created by the increased water volume.
     8. (From Gene)-Great Photos of Kings Canyon.
     9. (From Sandy and Tom)-Promises of tips to come my way.
   10. (From Joe)-When changing a tire tube, a spoon with a wide flat handle works better than tire irons.  Bring a pair of disposable plastic gloves for the work.
