In honor of national Root Beer Float Day.RECIPE COURTESY OF RACHAEL RAY

Ingredients
1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
2 quarts root beer

Directions
Hang a large, well packed scoop of vanilla ice cream on the edge of a fountain glass or other tall drinking glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with root beer. Set the fountain glass on a salad plate, underlining the glass for overflow. Serve floats with straws and parfait spoons. When you are ready to enjoy the floats, knock the ice cream into the root beer and watch it fizz up as the ice cream floats. Yummy! This is the simplest and my most favorite fountain drink!

6 SUPRISNG CAMPING FACTS😲😲

If you’re a fan of family camping trips, it’s likely that you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors. Whether you go camping near a lake, in the woods, or in your own backyard, there’s always something new to discover. In fact, according to the 2014 American Camping Report, a whopping 99% of camping participants said they were likely or very likely to camp the following year, which explains why people return to family campgrounds in Ontario, New York, and Michigan year after year. But even tent camping veterans might be surprised to learn the follow six camping facts. How many of these did you already know?

Crickets can calculate the temperature
You don’t always need a fancy gadget to tell you how hot or cold it is. During the spring and summer months, you can calculate the temperature by listening to a chirping cricket. Simply count the number of chirps you hear in 14 seconds. Then, add 40 to that number to find out the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Canada has an amazing number of insects
When you visit campgrounds in Ontario, you won’t find just crickets! In fact, Canada is home to approximately 56,000 different species of insects. While most bugs are harmless, you will want to protect yourself while camping. Use insect repellant and wear light-colored clothing in order to spot mosquitoes and ticks.
Lyme disease takes longer to take effect than you’d think
Lyme disease is a fairly common threat and can be serious if left untreated. In 2009 alone, more than 30,000 cases of Lyme were reported. But if you find a tick early enough, you could be in the clear. Ticks need to be connected to their host for at least 36 hours in order to pass on the disease. That’s why it’s so important to monitor carefully — and often — to prevent this disease from spreading.
Raccoons may sound like cats, but you shouldn’t cuddle them
You’d be right in thinking that raccoons remind you of house cats. In fact, they can actually purr! They usually do this when they feel content or safe. But they can cause harm to your campsite, and in rare cases, they could carry infectious diseases. In general, it’s important to keep them well away from your campsite altogether. Don’t leave food out and make sure that all garbage is kept in a tightly-closed container. You can also use repellants or cayenne pepper to make sure they stay away.
Your campfire may be a hazard
Although it can keep you warm during the cold nights you spend at campgrounds in Ontario, you should be aware that your campfire may be a real safety hazard. A fire that’s been burning for a few hours can exceed 900 degrees Fahrenheit! Make sure you have easy access to a water bucket and other fire safety protection in case your fire starts to get out of control.
Camping can relieve stress and depression
You might think that camping and hiking trips are only good for your physical health, but they’re also great for your mental and emotional well-being. When you raise your levels of oxygen, serotonin, and melatonin — which happens when you partake in outdoor physical activities — your stress level will automatically decrease. Plus, it’s difficult to be upset when you’re partaking in an enjoyable activity. It’s one of the best things we can do for our bodies, our minds, and our spirits.

New to camping? Here are a few tips on camping for beginners:

Practice

Practice before you go. Practice setting up your tent in the backyard so you know how to set it up. Practice what you’ve learned online, such as fire-building or emergency skills in real life. You’ll discover all the things you learn are by doing, not just watching.

It is a good idea to take out all of your gear before your big trip and do so a few days in advance so you have time to fix any problems.

For example, make sure your tent has all of its poles, your camp-lights still work and have working batteries, your stove works, etc.

Plan Your Trip

Always make sure to check for road closures before you go.

Closures to well-traveled routes can often be closed in winter and spring, depending on seasonal conditions, and Google/Apple Maps often doesn’t show these closures on their routes.

The best way to find out about these types of closures is to call and ask local shops in the area, call a local ranger station, TripCheck and various other online resources.

Don’t rely on your cell phone—print maps with directions or bring a Gazetteer in the likely case that you lose reception or your phone dies.

Picking a Site/Location

I use FREE CAMPSITES which is easy to use and has lots of information about established, primitive, fee and for free campsites.

Water

Make sure to check if your camping destination has potable water.

Many campsites do not have running water or shut theirs off seasonally so you will want to know when you need to bring your own.

I usually bring a few gallons for most 2-3 day trips with about 4 people sharing and plan for more in extremely hot conditions.

Camping 101: A Guide for the First Time Camper

There’s nothing better than a clear night sky full of stars and an evening spent around the campfire roasting marshmallows with a few good friends. Everyone has their own camping style, from laid back and restful to daring and energetic. Either way, camping is an unforgettable experience.

Planning out your first camping trip can be a little intimidating. Sure, you’ll need to do some planning and get your hands on the right gear for your trip to be successful. But that doesn’t mean it has to cost a lot of money or be super complicated. Once you’ve got some basic skills and know-how, you’ll be ready to make memories with your family for years to come.

The whole idea of camping is to set up a temporary residence in the woods. Since your “residence” will be your tent, we’ll start by discussing how to choose the best tent for your first camping adventure.

Choosing and Setting Up Your Tent
There are two key things to consider when selecting your tent. The first one is the size. Ultra-light tents are great for backpacking and adventure camping, but a larger 6 person tent will have room for several adults to hang out in. The second thing to consider is the quality of the tent. Never rely on a low-quality tent because it will be your only shelter from the wind, rain, and cold while you’re out in the woods. Coozie Outdoors has premium tents that will protect you from the wind and rain, and they’re available in all sizes.

When you get to your campsite, find a level spot to set up your tent where rainwater is not likely to puddle. If you’re staying at a public campground, they will usually have the best place marked out for you. Before you put your tent up, remove any rocks, twigs, or other pointy objects from the area. The last thing you want is to have a stick poking you through your sleeping bag all night.

Sleeping Comfortably while Camping
Choosing the right sleeping bag is every bit as important as choosing the right tent. The most important thing to look at is the temperature rating. Choose your sleeping bag according to the temperatures you’re expecting on your trip. Coozie Outdoors has high-quality sleeping bags available in a wide range of temperature ratings for kids and adults. Placing a Therm-a-Rest Sleeping Pad under your sleeping bag will significantly increase your comfort level and keep you up off the cold ground.

Campsite Furniture
Your campsite will be your home away from home for the duration of your trip, and there’s no reason it can’t be comfortable. Obviously, you can’t bring along your living room couch, but you should be sure to have a Helinox Sunset Chair for each member of your group. We love these chairs because they’re super comfortable, easy to set up, and very lightweight. A camp table will give you a clean place to eat, prepare food, and play a game of cards by the campfire.

Campsite Lighting
One thing you’re going to find out pretty quick is that you really can’t bring too many light sources with you on a camping trip. We recommend that you bring one or two Black Diamond Apollo Lanterns for use around the campsite and inside your tent. Each person in your group should also have a Black Diamond Spot Headlamp for trips to use the bathroom after dark and a multitude of other uses.

Camp Food and Cooking
Cooking your food at camp is half the fun of camping. One of the smartest things you can do is food prep before you head out. Chop all your vegetables ahead of time and pack your food in meal-sized packages to keep all the components for each meal together. This will cut down on the amount of cleanup you need to do at your campsite and reduce the amount of packaging you have to haul around and throw away.

Yeti coolers are great for camping trips because they’re built tough and keep food cold for a long time. When it comes to cooking your food, the campfire is great for marshmallows. A Jetboil HalfGen Base Camp Cooking System is compact, but functional for cooking things like eggs and brewing coffee. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, the MSR Quick 2 System Cookset will provide more versatility without taking up a lot of space in your gear.

When it comes to clean up, you really can’t go wrong with a Camping Dish Tub and some Camp Suds. Paper towels and paper plates are great because you can toss them right in the campfire. Remember, never leave food sitting out when you’re away from camp or sleeping. Clean up all food promptly and store any food that doesn’t go in your cooler in a BearVault Food Container for safety if camping in an area with bears.

Other Key Essentials
Aside from your clothes and the items mentioned above, you’ll want to pack some sunscreen, bug spray, and a first aid kit. A Ge**er Suspension Multi-tool will come in handy for all sorts of things, and a camp hatchet is essential for chopping firewood. If you won’t have access to potable water, you’ll need to bring plenty of drinking water with you.

Some Final Thoughts
For your first camping adventure, start small by going for just a night or two. That will give you a good idea of what to expect on a more extended trip, and help you decide what you need to bring to make your next trip more comfortable. Make sure you arrive at camp with plenty of daylight to get everything set up. Most of all, just relax and enjoy your first camping experience.
