Accidents happen even on the most well planned camping trips.  You need to not only plan to avoid accidents, but you also need to plan on how to handle them if and when they arise while camping.

The important thing is to remember to remain calm.  The worse thing you can do is panic.  You need to keep a clear head and just let your First Aid training kick in.

If you don’t have any First Aid training then you should attend some classes before going camping.  If you are not calm then you may not treat the correct problem and this could just make it worse.

Three common ailments that befall campers are dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.  To most people these all seem like similar ailments, and they are, but they each need to be treated differently.

Oh my stars, I just HAD to post this - it’s hilarious! Enjoy :)

In The 1500’s

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

These are interesting…

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the Body Odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water..

* Make leaf rubbings. You’ll need fresh, moist tree leaves or other plant leaves, a hammer, and pieces of cotton muslin. Lay one muslin down on a piece of paper, taping it down around the edges with masking tape. Lay the leaf down on top of the piece of muslin, and place a thin piece of paper over top of it (scrap will do). Pound the leaf with the hammer evenly over the entire leaf. This will transfer the leaf shape and color to the piece of muslin, so make sure to pound it all! Afterwards, you can glue the muslin to a piece of cardboard-framing it with a colorful mat if you wish.

By maximizing the magic and minimizing the chores, our readers bring out the green thumb in their kids. Here are their best projects, tips, and activities.

1. CREATE A LOVING GARDEN

Faced with a bounty of choices, how does a flower gardener decide what to plant? For Ann O’Keefe of Lisle, Illinois, the answer was to let love lead the way. She and her kids, Patrick and Erin, asked close friends and relatives to name their favorite flowers, which were then incorporated into the O’Keefes’ planting scheme. For years, the garden has bloomed with family favorites like Aunt Lisa’s Irises and Papa’s Peonies. Today, both kids are teenagers, but their time in the “loving garden” helped nurture a passion for nature that persists today. As it happens, so do some of the original flowers. “After all these years,” says Ann, “it’s nice to have a living reminder of the people who’ve meant the most to us.”

Grow a Kitchen Jungle

Sprouting your own kitchen castoffs couldn’t be simpler, as you’ll soon see from the following instructions. It requires little in the way of equipment: just some planting containers, sterile soilless mix (to minimize the risk of disease), and some ziptop bags (which help maintain the high-humidity environment seeds relish).

Furthermore, carrots, sweet potatoes and even avocados will happily sprout on almost any bright windowsill, though some extra heat–provided by a nearby radiator, perhaps–will hasten germination. Citrus and grape seeds clearly prefer warmth, which we provided by nestling them next to the kitchen radiator.

The only other thing you’ll need for your jungle in the making is a dollop of patience: Some plants, like carrots, sprout almost instantly, while others germinate at a more leisurely pace. Our grapes waited a full month before making an appearance, but then graced us with the most enchanting seedlings imaginable: yellow-green leaves edged with pink set atop tiny red stems.

Au naturel: Color your eggs the old-fashioned way

Piles of yellow onion skins, chunks of bright red beets, bunches of deep-green spinach leaves, even bags of fragrant Red Zinger tea, redolent with hibiscus flowers, filled the kitchen counter. Bottles of paprika, Dill seed and Turmeric stood at the ready, as did a pot of coffee. So did dozens of eggs and a jug of white vinegar.

We were dyeing eggs. And there wasn’t a PAAS coloring kit in sight.

Egg dyeing, by its very nature, makes a mess and, frankly, it’s even messier when the colors are made from from edible food. The homemade version also takes a bit longer to prepare than dye from a package.

But don’t let these cautions deter you. The homemade variety offers more of a challenge—and it’s fun, too. As many cooks know, that sense of curiosity and discovery is half the reason so many of us hang out in the kitchen. Making your own dye lets you experiment with the vagaries of color, from the leftovers in the refrigerator to the stock of spices in the pantry.

OILS

To distil small amounts of essential oils, place fresh flower petals in a large glass jar and cover them with distilled water. Seal the jar with cling-wrap and leave it in a sunny position. When a film of oil appears on the water, lift it off with cotton wool and squeeze it into a small glass bottle.

FLOWER VINEGAR

Steep flowers in warmed white vinegar, seal the container, leave it in the sun and shake the contents daily. Strain through muslin or a fine strainer and bottle.

FLOWER WATER

To make a flower water, put fresh petals in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes. Cool and strain through muslin, squeezing all the liquid from the petals into a glass jar.
