Episode 80: Spring Camping Picks

We always have a lot of fun with our “picks” episodes and this one’s no exception. The task was to pick a camping destination, an item or two for your pocket, a fixed blade on your belt, a pack knife or axe and something that launches projectiles. Lots of creativity in this one and some camping destinations that are a little outside the box.
