OUTDOOR LIFE

Hey there!

Any other outdoor types on here?

Mountain biking, fishing, hunting, kayaking, camping, whatever it is.......

Let's talk about it!

sure we have some camping and fishing folks here for sure! I know I can't wait for the spring thaw so I can go do both without freezing to death. Where does everyone like to camp? how do you camp? How primitive will you get or do you get? What do you eat? Where do you get it from?

Hey Blade!

I've camped every imaginable way- from backpacking miles into the AT trail, to just tent camping in a non-primitive site.

Depending upon the camping trip, the food varies. I'll always grill veggies, along with the catch of the day.

Any others in the Nashville area or surrounding states?

I'm totally shocked that you would start a thread like this...

One of the reasons I can't wait to move east is so I can get back into the outdoors. Kayaking, camping, spelunking, hiking, climbing...

an awesome naturalist.

i like many of his philosophies, and i, too, would carry oats and nuts on 25 mile hikes, talk to plants and boulders along the way. he was made of total fearlessness experiencing all of the elements, animals, topography, and so on.

Anything to be outside is a good thing!
Now that the weather is warming a bit we've been out hiking and geocaching again, and of course, there's always the dog walks.
I'm looking forward to my youngest getting off training wheels this year, so our bike riding excursions will expand!

Let me clarify...

Yes, there are outdoors in TN - middle and east. Here in west, not so much. Now, we've got several nice parks so hiking can be done. But I want the mountains, the rivers, the forests, the caves, of East TN.

I dont have much experience camping on the east coast, although I did enjoy some fabulous trail runs in Massachusetts (Goat Peak?) and also in Connecticut.

But the Northwest and Alaska...now THAT'S a different story

I've been getting the itch for some fishing too !
