50 Campfires had the privilege of speaking with Chris Havel, who's the Associate Director of Oregon State Parks, and has been for nearly 24 years. We wanted to know what was behind record setting years in their campgrounds - as well as some of his favorite spots to check out around the state.

We were fortunate enough to spend some time camping around the state a few years ago, and had an amazing time in their parks. Stunning, beautiful and memorable.

Enjoy!

Avoid Camping Disasters ☠️

As you probably know, 50 Campfires is dedicated to family camping. It’s our mission to get people outside - and outside more often. Traditionally the Daily Outdoor podcast is dedicated to topics that directly effect this take on the world. In early September, I had the chance to sit down with Mark Norquist, who operates a brand called Modern Carnivore. I met Mark about a year ago when both of us were attending the Outdoor Bloggers Summit in Bentonville Arkansas - and we hit it off.

I asked Mark to meet me at a local brewery outside of Minneapolis to share his views on the connections between camping, foraging, fishing - and even hunting. As we sat and talked, I couldn’t help but nod my head to much of what Mark was saying. I hope you go into this episode with an open mind. Enjoy.

There's a buzz traveling around the outdoor world regarding War-Mart's acquisition of retailer Moosejaw. Which got us wondering...if you're a Mossejaw customer, are you going to start shopping at War-Mart? If you're a Way-Mart customer - are you suddenly more attracted to the Moosejaw store? Do you even know what they are?

We'd love to hear your feedback, especially on where you buy your hiking, camping and climbing gear - does this impact you?

What Is Moosejaw? 

I’m going to assume that you understand what the “sharing economy” is…Platforms like AirBnb, Uber and bicycle sharing are changing the way we see and visit the world. Things that seemed almost impossible a decade ago are now standard ways of traveling and getting around

I had the opportunity to speak with an entrepenuer named Joel Holland. Joel is the CEO of Harvest Hosts - and digital platform that’s designed to connect RV’ers with more than 600 farms, wineries, breweries and other private locations around the country. It’s really a great idea.

Joel shared what makes Harvest Hosts so unique, why he left his job in the city, and what’s next for RV’ing and camping.

I hope you’ll take the time to check out Harvest Hosts, and their network of RV sites around the country. For more information, visit: http://www.harvesthosts.com

The Best RV Camping : Harvest Hosts - SPECIAL EDITION 

On the last Saturday of June 2018, I found myself hanging out inside of a Tentsile tree tent in the heart of the redwood forest in Northern California. You’ve probably seen these tents - or have at least heard of them. I like to think of them as a grown up camping tree house. They’re super cool.

Anyways, I was fortunate enough to be hanging out with Alex, the founder of the company. Like I usually do, I took out my phone, and recorded our conversation. I found it fascinating to hear about how he came up with the idea, what camping looks like in other countries, and what’s next for his brand.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
