Campfire Popcorn
I found the coolest camping gadget on Amazon. It’s a popcorn extension handle for Jiffy Pop. Technically Jiffy Pop is not suppose to go over a “campfire”, but honestly that is what Jiffy Pop is made for. The problem with putting Jiffy Pop over an open flame was the handle became too hot to hold. Enter my newest find, the Popcorn Extension Handle. Problem solved. Popcorn Extension Handle This handle was so easy to put the Jiffy Pop on. Just place it in the hole, make sure the little metal hook at the top is affixed, then secure the Jiffy Pop handle to the Popcorn Extension Handle with the metal…

Cub Scout Halloween Campout
My Bear Scout is getting excited for his Cub Scout Halloween Campout next month with his Dad. Today I set up what I thought his Cub Scout Halloween campsite will look like. I’m glad I decided to check to make sure the tent was alright to use. It wasn’t. The last person to use it packed the tent away wet, allowing mold to grow all over it. I ended up ordering a new tent from Target. It’s a good idea to check your tent before you go camping! I’ll be adding the “real” pictures after the campout in October. It’s a good idea to make a list of what…
