I feel the need to redeem myself after my reblogging of Packing Part Two full of scarves, leggings, and lipgloss! Just because I want to look pretty while camping doesn’t mean I can’t handle it! I am by far not the gnarly, baddest camper ever- I just like to have fun and take pics! But people like to tell me how much of a wuss I am and that this is too girly so to redeem my girly camping ways, I compiled a small list of things I feel make me badass from over the last 9 months of camping, hiking, and other excursions. Good comments or bad, I welcome them all! So… here are a few things that justify my “girly” camping:
- pumping water directly from the stream to hydrate myself (everyone should invest in one!)
- carrying 40 lbs on my back to hike a few miles in the forest.
- camping one month after my 8th knee surgery while I was still on crutches.
- falling into rocks while hiking Stonewall Peak (it doesn’t look like much but it left a nice scar)
- I can catch fish too…
- camping in the snow… lots of snow!
- hanging with the boys and drinking brewskies while kicking butt at beer pong
Happy Camping, Hiking, and anything else you to do feel like a badass 🙂
Lol ‘Too Girly’ – the name of the blog is ‘GirlyCamping’ so I’m not too sure what some people’s expectations are! I have read many of your posts including the recent in the snow ones – that definitely isn’t too girly!

I feel bad
I wasn’t trying to be negative, we just were encouraged to never pack much for camping.

Oh my gosh! Don’t feel bad! It’s not you! I’ve been hearing it for a while and wanted to say my two cents! Not packing a lot is truely a gift and I applaud you for that!

Thank for liking my blog post! I think that as long as you carry your own bag you get to pack it out with whatever the hell you want – what does it matter to anyone else, anyway!

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with being “girly”. You can’t be a “camping queen” without a little bit of girly. I always pack my break-proof wine glass and a frilly apron just to get a reaction. I’m very impressed with your awesome camping skills. Make it fun above all else.

No comment has ever pissed me off more than when a guy my daughter went to school with called me a “pretty boy”. Why does everyone think they have to be un-kempt and smell like a sweat sock to be tough??? If you want to be girly, be girly, no man wants a troll for a girlfriend no matter how tough they are! lol!
When I camp, I shave EVERYDAY!
My wife and my daughter are tough and beautiful and girly, I love them both more than anything!
