What most people don’t realize is that everything we do in life leaves a carbon footprint.
This is especially true when it comes to things in the home such as electricity, heat and even cooking.
When you go camping you also leave a footprint even if it is not a carbon one.

Before you head out to that campsite, consider making a camping checklist that you can use every time you’re getting ready for your next adventure. A little advanced planning will make your camping trip safer, more comfortable and more enjoyable. You can use the list over and over, so you’ll never forget to take important camping supplies.
But how much and exactly what should you include? Tha
I would like to buy a Camper Van in Sydney but I have a dilemma: would be more convenient to rent it or just buy one?By browsing on the web I discovered my dream van: used vans with lots of camping gears, quite cheap and completely “hippies”!I noticed that the cheapest are the ones that must be sold in a short time frame sometimes also in a matter of days as the owner is probably another trave

Well folks I am back from my weekend excursion with the new pop up camper. I know I promised this Sunday but I was beat after coming home, cleaning the camper, the grill and going shopping with the little woman. I purchased a 2008 Jayco Jay Series Pop Up floor plan 1007. I took a bunch of pictures which are below. There is a table that does not appear in the pictures because when I took the o
Camper Van Beethoven (CVB) is one of many groups that miraculously reunited after I developed a serious interest in them (others include: The House of Love, Mission Of Burma, Pixies, Wire). A lucky man I am indeed. Unlike the Pixies, CVB managed to both reunite and record a new album. New Roman Times (2004) is a welcome gift from a band that dissolved at the height of their creative zenith. Follo
Well if you remember I was supposed to pick up my pop up camper on Tuesday...well the best laid plans of mice and men. My trailer hitch did not arrive until Thursday.

Always pay cash if you can and if you can't then maybe

People ask me “what’s the best game to play in a casino”. There’s no simple answer to that question. I usually say “it depends”. The first question I ask them in return is “what do you enjoy?” Gambling is recreation — and if it’s not fun there’s no point in doing it is there?

Some of the most frequently asked questions that I get are about comps. ”Comp” is short for “complementary” and it’s anything the casino gives you for free or reduced price. If you’re parking overnight at a casino you’ve already received one comp — the privilege of that overnight stay.

While I'm clueless about command prompt language, I'm totally familiar with Camper shoes and its online store! I just got an email from my little 'sister' (i knew her since she was a baby) asking my opinion on a pair of Camper Casi. Whenever we get the chance to sit down for a chat, we won't leave Camper out of our conversation. Looking back, I used to take her shopping when she was an adolescent and now, she's a beautiful teenager whom I seek fashion resources from.Anyways, I saw these lovely Camper kids in the new Spring Collection - so cute, so cool, so fun... so irresistible! Why can't they make them in adult sizes too?

I really like this pair of Camper Twins... check out the complementary colours. Just in case you think they made a mistake in the colours - that's what the Twins is meant to be - not identical yet complementary. But then, I won't be buying another pair of shoes til I don't know when - that's a personal promise made for the next few months. It's still nice to check out the latest spring/summer collection at Camper... I need to rebuke this lust!
(Sydney/Australien). Ihre Sicht: Also gut, der letzte Fahrtag in Australien. Ich habe das erste Stück und entscheide bei einer Tankpause, dass ich auch das letzte Stück noch fahren werde. Mein Freund kann wirklich besser die Karte lesen, als uns durch den dichten Verkehr in Sydney zu steuern. Das ertrage eigentlich ich nur im Vollrausch. In Botany finden wir einen verdammt teuren Campingplatz; aber praktischer Weise sind die hier ganz gut ausgerüstet mit Putzkram für unseren Camper, mit einer Küche für unsere ungewöhnlich vielen Essensreste und einem Kühlschrank für die letzten Stubbies der Reise. Dadurch, dass ich den ganzen Tag gefahren war, danach die Putzaktion und Kocherei stattgefunden hatte, konnte ich mir nicht einmal Zeit nehmen, ein bisschen sentimental zu werden, dass die unser allerletzter Tag im Wicked Camper „Blow Me – Pussy Chicken“ gewesen sein sollte. In der Nacht beginnt es fürchterlich zu regnen u
I think I’m on a shoe and bag spree these few weeks. In the last couple of weeks, I have added two pair of new shoes to my collection (not that there is space for more!) and two more bags - one from Marc by Marc Jacobs and the other from Mandarina Duck.

2 qts. popped corn1 c. salted peanuts1 c. raisins1 c. flaked coconut1 c. sunflower nutsSalt if desired Mix all ingredients and store in tightly covered container.
If you’re going park a camper in the driveway, at least make it a retro “airstream”.
I’ve never studied up on them, but I know there’s a huge collector club for them. This one almost looks like a new one. Are they still making them? Anyone know?

When I heard that Camper was reopened in Singapore, I was so excited - yay! For those of you in that region, Camper is now opened at Vivo City and if you are in Malaysia, you can find Camper at The Gardens at Mid Valley City. I also found out that you can now order Camper if you live in Singapore, Hong Kong or China. The interesting thing is it will be cheaper if the order is done with an US address and it can a significant difference.
Take for instance, I saw this pair of Twins in Singapore, retailing at S$289. At the online shop, if you are ordering from US, it’s $150 USD but if you are ordering it from Singapore, it’s $179 USD and if in China, it’s $223 USD!! Don’t ask me why but that’s what I just found out. So if you have Vpost in Singapore, you can still get it at $150. I’m hoping to order this one when I’m in the US!
Camper’s roots started in 1877 when a Majorcan family started manufacturing shoes.
Camper shoes have a diverse range of footwear however they all have the same mediterranean passion and flavor to them.
The shoes combine design with imagination and functionality with the iconic Pelotas range and asymmetrical Twins range.
The slogan “Walk, Don’t Run” expresses the mediterranean philosophy [...]
It’s hard not to walk into a shoe shop when I’m on vacationing in an urban city. I recalled coming home with 5 pair of shoes on one of my Hong Kong trips… it was scary! But as I look through my shoe collection, I realize that I have not had a single pair of silver shoes. I heard from the sales staff in Marc Jacobs that silver is in this season and I have seen my silver ones out there. But somehow, I haven’t found one I truly like until I saw this ballerina one at Camper… yea, I know you are going to say I’m biased! LOL.
Don’t ask me why but I just adore Camper shoes especially the Twins collection. It is sad that both Camper shops (in Singapore and Malaysia) had made an exit after many attempts to create brand loyalty in this region. For Malaysia, a pair of Camper can cost up to RM600-RM800 so it is no surprise that only the avid fashionistas can afford a pair. Otherwise, wait for the sale period and you get a slash of 30-50% which I did previously. Camper made its way to Singapore way back in the mid 90s and been through a couple of management take overs. But last year, it closed its one and only store, leaving Camper fans like me to look elsewhere.
Camper kids was also launched and I spotted some of them in Club21 kids in Paragon Singapore on one of my trips back home. It’s a little extravagant to pay $85 for a pair of kids sandals though they are seriously unique looking and stylish on those little feet. I know the man in the house will never allow me to splurge one on my boy but he can
There are some folks who are known to love to travel and rough it at times using their ever dependent camper vans. Sleeping while on the road or on stopovers is something that is practically automatic and people can improvise at times with the various features included in their vehicle.
Check out how the back of this camper van can be transformed into a large bed where people can find some slumber while on the go or when on a stopover outside their homes.

I present a brief summery of the signs in the order they are displayed at K-blogg.Sign number 1: New technology can provide new knowledge!
On this sign there is information of the background; i.e. historic evidence regarding this site. Then there is an explanation regarding nondestructive methods within archaeology such as the use of magnetometers and ground penetrating radar, due to the surveys made here in 2006 using these methods. The last piece concerns “New hypothesis” where some of the results of the 2006 survey is presented.
This sign is interesting enough; it shows what archaeologist has done over the last years on some of their results. There are a few unclear statements such as “around the ship there are traces that can be dated from Stone Age to the Middle ages, but there is no explanation regarding what traces and if theese in any way are connected to Ale Stenar and if so in what way. As an Archaeologist I can read between the lines here, but for the ordi

You should never under estimate the value of a good beer. After reading this report out of the United Kingdom, I'm tempted to put together a mixed six pack of some of the holiday beers I have in the fridge and try to trade up for a trip to next summer's Great British Beer Festival.
Pete Genders, 28-years-old from Lincoln, England, took a bottle of Lincoln GRAle -- worth around $5.25 -- and during a series of trades turned it into a camper van to take his wife on a second honeymoon. Genders started his trading exercise five months ago and in just five trades managed to land the red VW Campervan worth $2,900.
Genders swapped the Lincoln GrALE beer for a day as a local newspaper editor, trading that for a day as the co-host of a local radio show. He exchanged that tickets to a concert by The Zutons, which he exchanged for a Citroen sedan said to be worth just under $1,000. He then exchanged that set of keys for the keys to the VW Campervan.
