Shanghaied Away

Hear the word ‘Shanghaied’ and thoughts of pirates, unsavory ship masters and blood money usually come to mind. Not so for Christina Gregor Hoheisel and her husband, Alex. Instead, they ‘kidnap’ each other for surprise trips to places unknown. Well, one of them always knows where they are going but they do take turns. Those [...]

Open Question: I'm used to camping but this time his mum and dad are with us, please help?

I normally go camping with just me and my fiance. I usually pack a smallish suitcase and take a couple of pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of shorts and enough t-shirts so I have one per day. I take a small make-up bag, my 2-in-1 hair stuff and body wash, and a hairbrush. I just tie my hair up. This time we are going to a rally with his parents, no proper shower and only portaloos. We are then spending a day with his sister on a picnic before going camping alone. Now, I don't know what to take (his dad is constantly having a go at me for being so 'frivolous' and 'wasteful' so I don't want to take a big suitcase) this means I am going from Friday to Tuseday at the rally, then weds to Sun camping. I also am not sure of the 'proper' etiquette for camping with (awful) inlaws. For example, my fiance and I usually take turns cooking, but his mum (convinced she is a 'fab' chef,but makes everything taste like uncooked mince) will insist on doing everything. We have to share our tent with them for four days....please give me your advice and help...what do I pack? What is the ettiqute in this situation? Thank You.

Open Question: 5 night backpacking tirp through Glacier National Park, Trails?

Will be going to glacier, solo in a couple days for a spur of the moment trip. I'm just looking for ideas of an itinerary. I have 5 nights and will be arriving at the west entrance. This will be my first time to Glacier so I would like to make the most of it. I would like to hike anywhere from about 5-15 miles per day. I would say I'm an novice-intermediate hiker. I'm mainly looking for great views along with diversity. Any ideas? Thanks!
