REX TURNER : Modern camping equipment takes it to the extreme If you haven't been shopping for camping gear in a while, let
me just tell you things have changed. It could be argued
that some of this is for the best, but in some cases,
products on the shelves seem a little outrageous. Pre-
packaged, sharpened marshmallow sticks are sold -- case
in point.
KEN ALLEN : Sandals work for outdoor types In summer, I wear sandals almost exclusively for general
walking, semi-serious hiking and fishing, a point that annoys
a good friend, Tom Seymour of Waldo. I've mentioned this
before here, but the sandal trend has increased rapidly in
the last few years, leaving the naysayers behind.
