“Lucky” the Dog

On August 11, 2012, hikers Scott and Amanda Washburn discovered an injured and abandoned dog on the steep 14,000 foot Mount Beirstadt in Colorado’s Rockies. The german shepard they named Lucky had bloody paws, was dehydrated, and unable to walk. The two couldn’t carry 112 lbs Lucky down the mountain so they wrapped up her paws to help her walk but she couldn’t. Determined to save Lucky, the Washburns went on a local hiker’s social media website 14ers.com and posted the dog’s picture along with a map to where she was found.

This weekend was an exciting weekend for me and Girly Camping! I took on the task of spending the night in Mother Nature with my novice-camping girl friends. I had no idea how they would do, if they would complain, get bored, or just leave! I wasn’t sure if I would be a good camping guide and continue my quest for handing out girly camping knowledge or dig a grave and say goodbye to my unfaithful blog. Who deserves to have a blog that can’t even handle three girls going camping over night?? Well, let me re-cap and you can be the judge to Girly Camping’s destiny. Continue reading

Go Girl FUD (female urination device)

While browsing around this weekend at Bass Pro Shops, I came across this little gem- Go Girl! Go Girl is a FUD, female urination device, which allows ladies to pee standing up! No more crotching down or hovering over the gross public toilet seat. Just cover yourself with this and there you go! I was a little in shock when I saw this! Ever since the beginning of time, guys had this one advantage over girls but now times are changing!! I probably won’t be using this but hey, if this is the kind of device you need to feel comfortable to pee outdoors then more power to you! You Go Girl!!

Heather Menicucci talks about the basic camping techniques as well as recipes, how-to glam, and crafty projects. She has a humerous take on camping and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
