"It's pretty cold out there, people!! I remember camping in February in Massachusetts. The first thing we would do after we got to our cabin, yes, it was a cabin.... with cots.... and a huge fireplace.... (It was great!).... was go back outside and get firewood. Trying to find firewood that is covered with snow was pretty challenging. Trying to find any wood that was even dry was impossible. So, we kicked around the snow, which was beautiful and sparkly by the way, and eventually found some wood. We dragged the wood inside the cabin and gathered around the fireplace. Oh, there was no other way to heat the place up, so getting the fire going was key in this whole cabin-camping experience. Fortunately, the last campers in this cabin left a pile of nice, seasoned, dry wood for us. We got the fire going and kept it going non-stop for the days that we would be there. We would place the wet wood in front of the fire to dry it out. Every day we would spend some time gathering more wood so there would be enough for our stay. We also wanted to make sure that we left some wood for the next travelers that would be staying at this cabin. It sounds like we spent a lot of time gathering wood and not doing much else. You would be so wrong if you thought this. We also hiked, went ice-skating, sledding, played board games, cards, sang songs and told stories. It was great."

I love camping out in the wild and over the years I have found that the best thing is always to take a good <a href="http://www.dozentravel.com">travel guide</a> with you wherever you go. Sometimes, the best thing to do before a camping trip is to check out an online travel ort camping site listed on www.dozentravel.com or another travel index. Check out this blog post on an online <a href="http://matadortravel.com/travel-blog/australia/marta-atravelaroundtheworld/the-backpacker-s-secrets-for-travelling-australia-#comment-25190">travel guide</a> I found while surfing last night, it has some great advice on camping.
