Latest Glamper Finds, to Wake Up Cabin Fever
What is your latest Glamper find? This is for all those out there with cabin fever, whose little campers are under snow or covers for winter and need to dream. I found this little Scotch Plaid Vintage cooler last September and use it for can sodas. Let's see yours...

Glamping is fun! But, it can be a lot of work. Diane, I've just about given up glamping. Once a year, I drag out the "crystal and lace." International Glamping Weekend! The rest of the time, that stuff stays home. I find, it's not practical BUT FUN! However, for my normal camping style... not so much. YMMV

HA, Donna, I agree. I do NOT go for the extra pillows, lace and chandoliers. But when I see something that's old or vintage that I can use in a practicle way, I go for it. I am using the GREAT Tupperware, orange, yellow, brown, and green glasses and bowls with lids. Love them still, have used them camping for over 25 years. Still as good as new (They must be 50 years old now, 1960's). I also use my Mom's 50 year old canister set for crackers and to keep toilet paper in, HA, it's mouse proof!

Not really glampers, but over the years have picked up/replaced stuff with nicer things going with a blue colour scheme...plastic stemware, some festive lights, and of course a pair of pink flamingoes. We will never have 'girly fix', but we are always trying to present a tidy, pleasant, and colour coordinated website. We find the blue theme goes well with the chilled rose....

HA. Pat, I try to color coordinate also, it's fun. While I am NOT a Girly Girl, do like wine in wine glasses while websiting, er, camping. My wine glasses are plastic and have pink flamingo stems. HA!

My collections are scattered here and there.
I'll have to get them together and take a picture.
Hoping to take some longer trips (err, stay longer
at a campsite) this year. Then I can set up some
extra things and justify it by using them longer....LOL
I've been scoping out some places already when the
temps are well above freezing.......ha

Campsites near by. Within a hundred miles.
We have a lot of campsites in my neck of the woods.
When we are just "riding around" I find sites that are
not on the map. Guess I'll have to start writing them
down because I don't recall where any of them are now.
We went into the Boston Mountains Sunday.

I keep following derek... he's a glamper guy and I love seeing what stuff he's got going on. Like I said, if it wasn't so much work... it would be my standard. BUT, my THEME is clean... sometimes I hit it and sometimes I don't

LOL...Shawn, The Duct does hold the world together! That and a Swiss army knife are my most important things to have on a camping trip. I have been using the Same orange tarp for over 30 years, holes are tape up with the duct tape patches. Gives me more room outside in the rain.

How the heck do you get that tarp up so well? It seems whatever way I put mine up there is a saggy bit somewhere. The saggy bit fills with rain or dew and threatens to pull the whole concoction down!

Dianne,
I really dig your plaid cooler. I'm not into glamping myself but I'm drawn to the vintage camping/trailer gear. I have an original metal Coleman chest cooler. Probably around 30 or forty years old. On the look out for some vintage kitchen wear in good shape.

Hazel, I have hung tarps for years, by myself. The orange one is extremely large. I look at the trees, for quite a while to know where to attach. It has to be taught and slant to shed rain. Sometimes there are no trees, I can still hang one. I always carry ropes, adjustable poles, stakes, hammer, and bungy cords. But Tarp hanging is a different thread, maybe I'll start one if there is enough interest.

Cabin Fever -- Yep, understand what that is too. Started looking for something to do after Christmas and decide on the below
modification to our cargo carrier. Only thing vintage on it are the wheels - off of the wife's Radio Flyer-90 wagon. Which means that was a long-long-long time ago.
Can't wait for Green Eggs & Ham.

Repurpose, reuse, recycle LOVE IT!
I have my daughter's small Radio Flyer wagon in the garage. It's one of the little ones... she was a toddler at the time and is now in her early 20s. Hummmmmmm.
