No I just have one version of Montreal Seasoning and haven’t seen a spicy version but would LOVE that - I will have to look around for that, thanks. I have seen the chicken version but just stick with this one - do you know off hand what is different with the chicken one?

Camper isn’t camping. Thats like taking your living room out...

You need a tent.

And, fwiw...greatest camping invention ever... The Coleman magnetic light.
Magnet goes outside, light goes inside...

True story...lol. So, me and the two older ones are out on a camping trip...

4 am or so, pitch black..i wake up..to a close by snarling sound... Try to peer out, (fearing a skunk, or worse a bear...we get them here,) can’t find a thing...goes on for a couple hours...

Breakfast rolls around, i’m relating the story, and one of the other guys says...

(Chuckling). No, your tent is next to Mario...his wife complains about his snoring constantly...

Yep. We had a tasty ham, and for lunch, i took straight horseradish, and horseradish sauce, to complement a nice sandwich for lunch.....

One of those condiments, I cannot get enough of......

Yeah I really like the idea of camping - which in my mind would have to be north of here - like northern New Mexico (cooler in summer) or the Ozarks - something like that. But I didn't grow up doing things like that so it isn't in my blood to sleep outside. I fear bugs and wild animals (not snoring ones but clawed ones) so the camper would have to be involved for me to spend time in the house of wild animals.

Snoring/growling.... that is pretty funny. Oh, my Mom just called and had a bobcat in her front yard this morning! yikes

Yeah, Im not a fan of bugs, either. Animals, I find more manageable....

Except bears.

The one animal not inclined to leave you alone.....

Not to say I do it often, especially as the boys have gotten older, but almost every other animal will run off. Bears are nasty bastards, and if they get near food...you don’t want to be at the buffet lol...

We probably average 1-2 bear sightings near the dang grade schools a year. Always a nice call to get.

And I live in a very developed suburban area, though one of the camping places, is on the reservation, 3 miles away..,

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Until we lived in that area, I would not have believed you have as many bears as you do in Jersey....

[hobbes1]

Yeah, the school lockdown call, is not one you like to get..
