Recently we purchased a really nifty little product on amazon that cost a little over $20 (and price depends on the size you buy). We originally purchased it to put over a 10x10 dog kennel which we use in the summer as a garden to keep the deer out. We also use it while camping … Continue reading Camping must have! Shade!
Even with the awning out, it seems like we always end up parking the RV so that the hot afternoon sun hits the side of the RV where the door is located. Our RV has one of those roll up / pull down shades in front of the door on the inside for privacy and … Continue reading RV Door Window Sunscreen Hack
Yes, you read that right lol. With all the stay at home and stop movement requirements due to the Coronavirus, we are taking an extended stay with my dad on his farm. Said farm has a lovely pond but sadly no ducks. So what better way to spend the spring (while social distancing) than raising … Continue reading 3 Ducks, 2 Dogs, & 1 cat: Full Time RV Living 🤪
So.... I have found the absolute best item to have in the RV for keeping warm while winter camping! Surprisingly, it is NOT an electric blanket lol.

The one thing I won’t go winter camping without ever again.

Also, there have been quite a … Continue reading A quick note from Conestoga Chuck
A special shout out to the Billings Montana weavers guild and my friend JoAnne S. For teaching me how to weave over the winter. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to set up the mini WV loomery to do demonstrations, classes and hands on fun for the many visitors to the historical area … Continue reading Friends of Burnsville Lake craft and gift shoppe (aka “the WV loomery”)
Conestoga chuck approves this endorsement and so does hiS little sister lil bit 🙂 I'm just typing what the pups are woofing for me to put into English for your reading enjoyment. Forget those pop up canvas camping shades! Get a 10x10 doggie kennel instead! Place an indoor outdoor rug for their enjoyment plus lots … Continue reading Doggie comforts while camping
Before we plug in at any camp site we always check the electrical on the campground side first. Twice in our camping ventures we have found electrical hookups at campgrounds with open grounds. If you are not familiar with electrical systems... basically this means if there is a surge in power on the city power … Continue reading The importance of checking electrical before plugging in!
