Camping is a fun thing to do right? You probably know about making shmores and roasting hotdogs. Well here are some more things to do while camping!
1.Smoked Hotdog On A Stick
This tastes great without any bun or ketchup! First you just roast you hotdog like normal till is just the way you like it. Then you pull it up and leave it in the smoke for a few minutes. Then just eat it of the stick!
2.Instead of hiking all the time, do a little bit of biking sometime!
Bring some bikes, it's a good way to go sightseeing (if the place you are staying allows bikes). Who doesn't like to ride bikes!?
3.Play Some Card Games
Bring UNO or some similar easy to play card game. It's great to do something like that when its to hot to bike or hike.
4.Go Fishing
Bring your fishing rods if the place your staying has some fishing areas. Its fun to fish in a stream or lake or pond or whatever!
5.Go On A Nature Walk
See some of the parks animals while your on your hike.
With all these things above, which means numbers 2 and 4, check to see if you can do these things at the park website or call the park to see what other activities they may do.
Have a fun time camping!

Edible Plants
There are many edible plants in the wild here are some of them and a little about the plants.
Wild Strawberries
The wild strawberry is packed with vitamins A, C, and K. The leaves are somewhat oval in shape and serrated. They can be eaten when they come out in the spring and the berries eaten in late summer. As the picture shows, the plant has 3 leaves on the end of each stem and the flower is white with the yellow center. Do not eat anything other than this, there are other things that look much like the edible wild strawberry, but are very poisonous!
Clovers
Clovers have a good amount of protein in them.
Dandelions
Dandelions have a lot of vitamin A, C, iron and calcium. The entire plant is edible. Eat the leaves while they are young. If you eat mature leaves they will be bitter.
Thats all for now.

Fishing for Worms
The title might sound funny. But it's true. You have to fish (or find) the worm to fish so you can use the worms to fish for fish! You following me here? This article will show you how to find worms for fishing.
When and where to look
Look for worms right after a rain, light or hard. They will be out close to the surface. Don't look in hard packed and sandy soil, worms won't usually be there. Look for them in compost piles. If you turn over large objects such as rocks, wood (boards, etc), bricks, anything that is touching the ground, you may find worms.
Keeping worms
I would recommend that you could possibly start a small worm farm with the worms you have left over after your fishing. Speaking of worm farms, I will talk about them in a later article. Meanwhile if you are interested in worm farms, just look up "worm farms" on the search engine.
I hope that this article is helping you find more worms for you fishing bait to catch a big one (fish that is).

Basic Bass Fishing
Bass are the US' most popular sport fish. I will show you a little advice on how to catch them.
Lures
Spinners, crankbaits, and swimmers are the most popular artificial baits. You can also use poppers, a type of crankbait.
Worms are also good to use as live bait, along with nightcrawlers, and crawdads. Other types such as small live fish work as well.
Places to Fish
Fish for bass near weeds, docks, and obstacles in the water, such as fallen down trees. Think about what you would do if you were a fish, where would you take cover?
As I said this is just a little advice to help you catch bass.
