Baby Boomers have come into their fifties and sixties in huge numbers and have promised themselves that they would never grow old. As a cohort we’re more a part of the entire world than any previous generation at the same age.

Many of us want to leave the daily grind of the 9-5 “rat race,” but we still need a steady income, and we want to stay active participants in the world’s economy (i.e., we’re not ready for the rocking chair just yet).

Starting and running an home business is a good way for Boomers to keep involved, develop a steady income, and at the same time, enjoy long-desired freedom and mobility.

Many Boomers love to travel, and specifically, they love RV’ing. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to travel the country in an RV and still be able to earn a good living?

Luckily, there is!

All you need is a computer with a wireless internet connection, an internet marketing business - and, of course, a recreational vehicle, or “RV” as they’re known.

With this limited equipment, you can run a million-dollar business from anywhere that your head and your heart lead you. When the weather is good, you may go see friends or family in the North, but then when winter comes and the snow flies, you might want to “blue-bird” it to the sunny South.

Either way, you can work your affiliate business easily and comfortably from your RV - and you get to choose how much - or how little - time you work!

This is an ideal way to work part-time, or increase your retirement income, plus, you won’t have to worry so much about what is going to happen to Social Security, health care, etc. because you know your online business will be producing a dependable second income for you, and doing so in a way that gives you the freedom and mobility you’ve worked so hard to earn.

I’ve been a full-time RVer and I’m following my own advice so that I can have greater mobility and freedom. I’m operating my own internet marketing business. I’m a firm believer in “Stewardship Education” - meaning, what I learn, I pass on to others. I invite you to take control of your future and your financial security by joining my team.

People usually go on camping trips to enjoy themselves while spending some time in the great outdoors. Normal people do, at least. We have some family friends that said they absolutely hated camping trips, and would rather be working than go on one. Yet, every year, they went on at least two of them. We didn’t know where, but they were gone for several days.

We were as curious as you might be as to why they continued going if they hated it so much, but no answer was ever received. We tried to joining them on several occasions, yet they seemed reluctant and simply refused.

Once, when we were shopping together, I saw them buying a big tent, explaining to me that a good tent is crucial to have, when going camping. When I pointed out that it was very big, and probably heavy, and surely a smaller tent would have sufficed, they just laughed. Knowing they’ve went on so many camping trips, I figured they knew what they were doing.

I was right, and they knew exactly what they are doing, as I discovered by accident. I heard noises in the hallway and decided to check it out, only to see them climbing toward the top of the building, in full camping gear, and with their tent.

Going after them, I found myself on the roof, looking at what seemed to be a camping spot, with a large tent set up, some magazines, and a zune 8 gb digital media player black 2nd generation along with some speakers, for ambiance. I let them know I was there, by complimenting their player.

Their reaction had me laughing uncontrollably, and they soon joined me. They explained to me that this was “their” camping spot, and it was very relaxing. They finally decided to let us accompany them on their “trips” and now, from time to time, two big tents can be seen from the street, on top of our building.

Camping is a great way to experience the great outdoors and get to see part of the countryside. One of the main requirements for camping is a camping tent. This is one of the required camping supplies in order to be able to enjoy the camping trip effectively. This tent should be able to provide the camper with adequate shelter from any given element which may be present depending on the season. A canvas camping tent is one of the many varieties of camping tents to choose from. There are certain advantages and disadvantages of using a canvas camping tent and they will be discussed here.

Advantages Of Canvas Camping Tent

One of the advantages of using a canvas camping tent is its capacity to be inherently cooler than a nylon tent under a blazing sun. The natural color of the canvas camping tent easily reflects the heat of the sun and wards it off without absorbing much of it. As the canvas camping tent is made of natural fibers and fabrics sustainable resource which can be recycled to an extent so it may not cause any damage to the environment.

Another advantage of a canvas camping tent is the fact that it is basically easier to repair than any nylon tent. One of the advantages of camping tent is that the canvas tent is made of a fabric having sturdy weave which can be repaired by simply sewing a patch on the hole or sewing the cut or tear. The ease of maintenance is also another advantage of the canvas camping tent. When nylon tears, the fabric is difficult to mend and it is also difficult tot sew a nylon fabric.

Disadvantages Of Canvas

The main disadvantage of a canvas camping tent is its bulk and weight. A canvas tent is much more difficult to keep and carry than the lighter nylon tents. This means that the person carrying this will have a difficult time lugging the canvas camping tent around in the rough road. While canvas has a natural waterproof element to it, it is not altogether waterproof to some extent. Once this fabric gets soaked or wet under extreme rain, it will be even heavier than it was originally. A canvas camping tent may not be able to provide enough ventilation if it is closed due to the ravages of rain or snow.

The camping tent comes in different shapes and sizes. It is usually used to shelter a person or persons from elements while out camping. There are also various camping tent materials that range from the ordinary to the state of the art. The kind of camping tent material can dictate just how sheltered one can be while out camping.

A camping tent can house just one person and be as light as can be or be able to accommodate some ten to fifteen people.  Many of the bigger tents have partitions that serve as rooms or storage areas if there are a lot of people occupying it. A camping tent actually serves to shelter and protect the person or things inside from the sun, the rain, the wind and other elements that may come up during a camping trip. A family camping tent needs to be big enough to accommodate the entire family along with some of their belongings. 

Fabric Or Material For A Camping Tent

Nylon is the most common material used for a camping tent. There are certain kinds of nylon that are really quite light and versatile enough to be coated with protection to make them virtually waterproof. Nylon is also a durable material which can withstand being exposed to the sun, the rain and the wind as well as other harsh elements. Even without the accompaniment of the coating some nylon materials can stay waterproof for a period of time.

Canvas is other material that can be used for a camping tent. This material is not as light as nylon but it can suffice for camping during emergency situations. Canvas is durable and can withstand exposure to strong winds and the sun. Exposure to rain may need some coating to make it waterproof or be able to be leak proof. Canvas can also keep people quite warm and toasty inside it especially during the colder months but does not allow much ventilation or breathing. This means that the camping tent can become warm enough to be uncomfortable.

Neoprene is another camping tent material that has been used for some time now but has not been as successful as nylon. The reason why it hasn’t taken off as a camping tent material is because it can be extremely hot under the sun and it does not function well when exposed to water. Neoprene is also quite heavy and bulky to carry around. This material is prohibited due to these factors for tents.

Don’t you hate it when you have a hunting trip planned and the forecast calls for bad weather? Have you ever canceled a camping trip because it was too cold or snowy? I don’t have that problem anymore. Last November I decided to go to hunting camp with a bunch of my friends. We made our plans a couple weeks in advance so we’d have plenty of time to get our camping gear ready. As opening day of deer season approached, I kept an eye on the Weather Channel and the prospects didn’t look very promising. The forecast was for a cold and snowy weekend but we were sure it wouldn’t keep us from bagging our deer.

You see, I had canceled too many camping trips in the past and recently purchased a four season camping tent and some warm sleeping bags to stop it from happening again. The tent sleeps up to eight so I knew we would have plenty of room for the four of us and our supplies. I also knew we’d be warm and dry because the four season camping tent is built to withstand all kinds of bad weather.

As Friday got closer, I packed all my equipment knowing that we’d be going camping as planned. Not only that but hunters without the right camping equipment would be staying home. Fewer hunters in the woods would mean better hunting for us. Also, doesn’t it seem like the deer know just when hunting season starts? Well, maybe because of the bad weather they wouldn’t be quite so careful.

Friday finally came and we stowed our camping gear in the car and headed for the woods. All of a sudden I realized that we didn’t have the picnic backpacks with the food for our first day in it. We don’t barbecue on Friday because by the time we get to camp and set up our tent, it’s too late to bother cooking.  After the first night though, we cook all our meals on our portable grill.

Finally we hit the road. I couldn’t wait to get to the woods and set up our camping gear before the snow and wind started. For me there’s nothing better than a weekend in the woods with my best friends and the anticipation of the hunt to come. Stay tuned and I’ll tell you how we did on our bad weather hunting trip.

Welcome to my series on the joys of family camping. In this series I’ll remember my own past to help you understand why I think that camping is a great way to bring your family together. My family started camping when I was a young teen and in the almost 40 years since then, I’ve had some tremendous family experiences on camping trips. In the process, I’ll turn you on to some great places to camp and help you make a list of the basic gear you’ll need.

One of my favorite things about camping is the chance to experience wildlife in a totally new way. The earliest example of this I can remember was on our very first family camping trip. It was the summer of 1969 and my dad decided that we would try camping for our summer vacation. Dad decided we were going to visit Ocean City, Maryland and see the wild ponies at Assateague Island National Seashore. Imagine how special it was for my sister, brother and I (aged 4, 10 and 13 respectively) to see those ponies running around in nature. Sure, we could have stayed at a hotel and driven to see the ponies, but it simply wouldn’t have been the same as waking up, getting out of our camping tent, packing our picnic basket and then walking to where we could see the ponies. It felt to me like we were part of the ponies’ environment rather than intruders into their world.

Among the amazing wildlife I’ve encountered while camping are wild moose in Maine, an amazing monarch butterfly migration in Long Island (yes you really can go camping in Long Island), dozens of hawks and bald eagles in Central Pennsylvania, a migration of tiny frogs in South Carolina and hundreds of deer in one evening on the Skyline Drive in Virginia. All of these trips have left me with memories for a lifetime. I only wish the quality of cameras was better when I was a child. That reminds me, don’t forget to take your camera on your next camping trip and when you go, please, please take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.

Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. It has become very popular as a leisure time activity. There is also the call of the thrill of adventure. Camping is also cheaper than the rather expensive and sophisticated packaged eco-tourism or nature tourism or adventure tourism offered along with accommodation in expensive resorts, hotels or cabins. The campers leave their everyday life wherever they are. They take off for a few days and nights to a camp site to rough it out. The camp site is usually natural areas or wilderness that are publicly owned or privately owned. They may prefer to be in the open without any shelter, or a crude structure or a tent. The tent can be heavy or light, and in different sizes to meet a variety of needs.

 Mobile camping is when the campers are able to pack the camping equipments with them on their backs. They carry them across lands, mountains or forests over long distances hiking or trekking. Mobile camping turns out cheaper than when one uses a trailer or motorhome. An important camping equipment that these campers carry is the camping tent. The camping tent provides them the shelter in isolated places. They can also set up camp where they want to.

 The camping tents are of many kinds and sizes. An all season two person camping tent very well suited for backpacking adventures and mountain trekking is the north face mountain 25 . This tent can withstand strong winds. Its polyurethane windows prevent the outside cold creeping in. It is cozy and warm inside with adequate space for two. The tent has two vestibules and entrances. With all these features, naturally it is heavier but still easily transportable.

 While camping tent no doubt is an important camping equipment, there are a number of other essential items such as utensils, furniture, personal care products, sleeping bag, first aid kit and flashlight. These equipments are portable and light weight making it easy for campers to carry around. However, this could cost you a tidy sum and so check and compare prices. Camping easy and comfortable brings you both the physical and mental energy surging through in abundance.  

An in-depth study of the Proposed Obama healthcare package

 
Parts of that 1,000 page bill that The sitting President Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to Pass.

If this does not enrage you to the point of tears and disgust, Im not sure what country you should call youself a citizen of?  Certainly not the USA!

After you read the descriptions below of what Obama Health Care Reform looks like, please call, write, fax, anything to get a hold of your representatives in Washington and tell them to vote NO!! On this nail in our Republics coffin.

 
1) Pg 22 mandates that the Government will audit books of ALL EMPLOYERS that self insure. So every employer in the United States will be subjected to a health insurance audit just as all taxpayers are subject to audit. Of course, we will have to pay for an entire new bureaucracy to do this–the Internal Health Revenue Service?

 

2) Pg 30, Sec 123 states that there will be a government committee that decides what treatments you are allowed and what your overall benefits are.

 

3) Pg 29, lines 4-16 basically mandates the rationing of health care as is being done in Canada.

 

4) Pg 42 recognizes the power of the Health Choices Commissioner to determine your health benefits. You will have no choice.

 

5) PG 50, section 152 states that free, taxpayer-paid health care will be given to the 30 million non-citizens in the USA, even illegal aliens.

 

6) Pg 58 states that government will have possession of all your health care records & history including finances and you will have to have a National ID Healthcard.

 

7) Pg 59, lines 21-24 gives direct access to your banks accounts to compel you to pay any out-of-pocket or premium costs electronically without your previous consent.

 

PG 65, sec 164 provides for a political payoff from the Democrats and Obama; a special subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions community groups like ACORN.

 

9) Pg 72, lines 8-14 creates a Health Care Exchange to bring private health insurance plans under government control.  This part of the bill reveals Obama’s lies about being able to keep your plan if you like it.  Any health insurance plan which does not completely rework itself to conform to these regulations will be dropped from the exchange and those insured will have to pick one of the plans in the exchange. This is why the Congressional Budget Office determined that over 20 million will lose the coverage they are now enjoying if Obamacare is implemented.

 

10) PG 85, line 7 provides specifics for benefit levels for all health plans, giving government the right to ration everyone’s healthcare.

 

11) PG 91, lines 4-7 mandates that doctor’s offices, clinics and hospitals provide language-appropriate services, basically ordering them to hire translators at the expense of the American taxpayer.

 

12) Pg 95, lines 8-18 allows the government to hire non-profit community groups like ACORN and Americorps to sign up people for the government health plan.

 

13) PG 85, line 7 provides for specifics on benefit levels for Medicare recipients, basically rationing the care of every senior citizen I the United States.

14) PG 102, lines 12-18 mandates that all Medicaid eligible will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid based upon income and insurance status. No choice.

 

15) Pg 124, lines 24-25 states that no private company or individual can have the right to sue the federal government for medical price fixing, basically eliminating your right to seek redress in the courts regarding your medical care.

 

16) Pg 127, lines 1-16 dictates doctors? payment and therefore income which will reduce what doctors earn and lead to greater shortages of doctors and more rationing of care.

 

17) Pg 145, line 15-17 any employer not currently insuring their employees must enroll employees into public plan option, with no choice of private insurance allowed.

 

18) Pg 126, lines 22-25 mandates that employers must pay for health insurance even for part-time workers and their families, which will certainly lead to massive layoffs.

 

19) Pg 149, lines 16-24 all employers with an annual payroll bigger than $400k who does not pay to enroll employees in public insurance option will pay an 8% tax on all payroll.

 

20) Pg 150, lines 9-13 mandates that employers with an annual payroll between $251K & $400K who does not pay to enroll employees in public insurance option will pay a 2-6% tax on all payroll.

 

21) Pg 167, lines 18-23 any individual who is self-employed and does not have health insurance will be taxed 2.5% of income and forced to accept public health insurance. So paying for health care out of pocket will be banned from the face of the earth.

 

22) Pg 170, lines 1-3 exempts non-resident aliens from the individual health care taxes, so Americans citizens will pay for these aliens, legal and illegal alike.

 

23) Pg 195 officers & employees of the new Health Care Administration will have access to all Americans personal financial records and accounts.

 

24) PG 203, line 14-15 actually says that The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.” Yes, it says that.

 

25) Pg 239, line 14-24 mandates that available physician services will be reduced for Medicaid recipients. Many poor people including many seniors will be affected.

 

26) Pg 241, line 6-8 mandates that all doctors receive the same pay, regardless of specialty. This will vastly reduce the number of specialists available in the United States, a common problem where medicine is socialized like Canada.

 

27) PG 253, line 10-18 allows the federal government to set the value of doctor’s time, professional judgment.

 

28) PG 265, Sec 1131 mandates and controls the productivity of all health care providers including surgeons!

 

29) PG 268, Sec 1141 regulates the rental & purchase of power driven wheelchairs.

 

30) PG 272, Sec. 1145 regulates the operation of certain types of cancer hospitals, again rationing the care of cancer patients.

 

31) Page 280, Sec 1151 allows the government to penalize hospitals for what is deemed to be preventable readmissions.  So instead of being sued for malpractice, the government will be the punitive body when mistakes are made.

 

32) Pg 298, lines 9-11 mandates that if a doctor treats a patient during initial admission and that result in a re-admission, the doctor will be subject to federal penalties. Gee do you think that?s going to drive up the cost of malpractice?

 

33) Pg 317, lines 13-20 will create prohibitions on ownership and investment in the health service industry for doctors.

 

34) Pg 317-318, lines 21-25, and 1-3 will prohibit the expansion of all hospitals.

 

35) pg 321, lines 2-13 allows hospitals apply for an exception to the expansion rule but they must seek community input first!

 

36) Pg335, lines 16-25, Pg 336-339 mandates the establishment of outcome based health care and insidious idea that actually limits the treatment choices made by patients with their doctors, based upon the patient’s health and condition. This will result in the oldest, weakest and sickest patients being denied treatments simply because the statistics for success in their demographic category are poor! This is a form of health care rationing that will save money at the expense of seniors to help buy insurance for the uninsured, most of whom are young and healthy!

 

37) Pg 341, lines 3-9 allows the government to disqualify Medicare Advantage Plans and HMO forcing people into the government run public plan.

 

38) Pg 354, Sec 1177 will arbitrarily restrict the enrollment of special needs children and adults.

 

39) Pg 379, Sec 1191 mandates the creation of even more bureaucracy in the Telehealth Advisory Committee.

 

40) PG 425, lines 4-12 mandates Advance Care Planning Consultation, another insidious vehicle to save money by encouraging seniors who are in poor health to be more accepting of death rather than fighting to stay alive and healthy and with their loved ones.

 

41) Pg 425, lines 17-19 mandates that all senior patients will be consulted regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney.

 

42) PG 425, lines 22-25, 426 lines 1-3 provides an approved list of end of life resources, to help guide seniors about the process of dying!

 

43) PG 427, lines 15 mandates program for orders on the end of life, actually giving the government a say in how your life ends!

 

44) Pg 429, lines 1-9 dictates the frequency with which an Advance Care Planning Consultant will have to meet with patients as their health deteriorates.

 

45) PG 429, lines 10-12 give an Advance Care Planning Consultant the power to order end of life plans for a patient.

 

46) Pg 429, lines 13-25 will only allow certain doctors, not necessarily your own physician, to write an end of life order.

 

47) PG 430, lines 11-15 allows the government to decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.

 

48) Pg 469 mandates Community Based Home Medical Services through non profits like ACORN. Happy yet that we elected a community organizer to the White House?

 

49) PG 489, Sec 1308 force taxpayers to pay for Marriage & Family therapy under the public insurance plan.

 

50) Pg 494-498 allows government to define mental illnesses and what services will be allowed to treat, again rationing this care.

 

The new numbers are in and it does not look good for Obama and Nationalized Health Care!
