outdoor campingI bought this waist pack for outdoor camping today. When we are outdoor camping, we do a lot of hiking and I like to bring along some of my personal electronics like my phone, digital camera, and MP3 player, along with some kleenexes and water. I also toss in a comb to remove the errant cactus spine I pick up while hiking on the desert floor.

Outdoor camping is enjoyed by everyone in our family, in-laws included. Some of the best times I've had sitting around the campfire are the conversations I have with my brother-in-law. He's a fascinating guy and pretty quiet most of the time, but there is something about the mesmerizing flames of a campfire that open him up and we talk about recent discoveries in science, something that fascinates both of us.

If someone forgets their backpack to carry odds and ends when we're outdoor camping, I will gladly share this waist pack with them. It seems to be really well made, and it will be really comfortable to wear, too. I used to wear a backpack but found that I ended up picking up way too many interesting rocks, and now I have a yard full of them, so this waist pack will limit my ability to bring back half the rocks in the desert when we're outdoor camping.
