So, we recently went to another NYState Park on a 4 day camping trip to celebrate our 26 year Wedding Anniversary & i did a little knife testing as well. My wife says i have issues ! LOL We had a great time. Weather was great & it only rained at night while we were sleeping. 
We camp in a 30' toyhauler camper, but only brought the mt. bikes this time. It may not be your idea of camping, but it is what it is. Enjoy.
And still shaved hair.
And again, still shaved hair.
The Becker family fieside chat.
Then this little guy below stopped by to say hi !
Then came the sunsets ! WOW, every night but one (clouds) was like this.
Now here is how i make the nightly campfire. Laugh if you want, but it works excellent---even if the wood is wet.
I take an old egg carton & put a piece of match-lite charcoal in each egg slot (i wear a glove to avoid charcoal hand). Then spray a little more lighter fluid on the egg carton after it is in the fire ring.
Then use the wood that the Beckers (or whatever you use) split & layer it like so.
Then light with whatever you use. I used my handy dandy new yellow ZIPPO lighter, that i got at SMKW.
It was a great time. Hope you enjoy the pics. Here is one more of our rig.

That is a POWER WAGON pal, not some ordinary RAM !!! LOL Actually, it is one of 8 made (or 4) for that year, with those options. It has a 6 speed manual G-56 trans in it (6.3:1 1st gear) & it has an engine block heater from the factory. 78:1 crawl ratio. 12,000 lb Warn winch. Full skid plating. 2" lift. 4.56 gears. 33" tires. Bilstein shocks. Locking front & rear diffs. Electronic disconnecting swaybar for awesome articulation. As for the diesel dilema: once while camping @ the top of an 1800' mt., a F350 CC diesel 4x4 pulling a 39' Raptor 5th wheel toyhauler pulled in. It rained for 5 days straight, & me & him were the only ones left. When he went to leave, he could'nt even make it up a tiny little incline. So I asked him if he wanted me to try to pull him out. He laughed & said his truck weighs 8-9000lbs & his camper is 16,000 empty & he had 150 gal of water @ 8.3 lbs per gallon & 4 atvs & gear in the back. He said "aint no gasser gonna pull that." I said OK, but i am the only one left & once i hook up to my toyhauler, your on your own. He tried for 45 min & just dug trenches. So finally he came over & asked for help. I hooked up, 1st gear, 4 Lo but did NOT even engage the lockers & pulled him right out without even spinning a tire. He was amazed. I told him his tires sucked (street tread) but the low gearing in my truck makes a HUGE difference. Still ain't no diesel, but it will drive circles around a stock diesel truck off-road.
