Campfire Safety Tips

Is Your Campfire Out?

Campfires are great! I don’t know one camper that doesn’t like a good campfire to cook in, tell stories around or just spend some quality time with family and friends roasting some marshmallows over the campfire. With all the pleasure we get from our campfire we want to remember some good safety rules, always make sure your campfire is out before laying down to sleep at night and before breaking camp when it’s time to head home. You’ll want to bring extra water to pour on the fire and a shovel to help stir the dowsed coals. Checkout the video below for great tips on putting out a campfire.

Chinook Twin Peaks Guide 6

The Twin Peaks Guide is a family sized 6+ person, 3 season tent. This tent is a 2-tent-in-1 system for double the living space, one very roomy sleeping dome plus a functional and practical screened dome. Camping by a lake, stream or other places that mosquitoes like to congregate won’t be a problem for the owner of this tent. The large screened dome will give lots of protection from those pesky critters plus the dome is big enough to hold a picnic table, enjoy meals and the views of your campsite from within the large 3 sided screened room. With the Twin Peaks Guide 6 you will be the envy of the campground.
