Please help me get a list together.

Pleasee help ! THANKS :)

Answer
Actually, I'm going to go to a camp just like this next week, so I've definitely got some advice for you! This is my fifth year doing summer camp, so I know what I'm doing!

BAGS AND LUGGAGE:
Normally, I take three bags to camp. Two are trash bags filled with bedding and beach towels, and the other is a large set of storage drawers. Now, I know this sounds crazy but I pack my clothes into a set of plastic drawers before I leave for camp and when I get there I just put the drawers in my cabin. This works so amazing and is incredibly convenient. If you don't have room in your cabin for this or are unable to buy one, just pack your clothes into a large duffel bag to store under your bunk. Another good idea is to bring a couple of milk crates (like the colored plastic ones) to stick under your bed to store stuff in. I've never done this, but a couple of my friends have and they say it works great. You also might want to bring a shower pail for your shower stuff. I couldn't find a link to buy one, but I'm sure you can pick one up at Walmart, Target, Meijer, Kmart, etc. Lastly, bring a small backpack for the daytime to store things like a camera, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottle, etc.

CLOTHES AND SHOES:
Here's what my typical packing list looks like:
6 normal shirts
2 old or baggy shirts to get dirty
4 or 5 pairs of shorts
1 skirt
3 swimsuits
2 pairs of pajamas
7 pairs of underwear
1 swimsuit coverup
2 pairs of flip flops
1 pair of old tennis shoes
1 pair of jeans
1 sweatshirt

I usually bring normal tee shirts to camp, like graphic tees and plain shirts. Then I bring old shirts to get dirty in painting or mud hikes or something like that. I bring a pair or two of Soffe shorts (google them if you've never heard of them, they ROCK!), some jean shorts, and a colored pair of shorts. My jeans are usually old and good for campfires, same goes with the sweatshirt. I bring two pairs of flip flops for just basic activities and tennis shoes for hikes. Lastly, for swimsuits I usually bring two one-pieces and a tankini (I go to a Christian camp, so thing have to be modest). Oh, and also include a couple of camis.

For extras, I would bring maybe another book, some stationary and stamps, lanyard string, friendship bracelet string, an alarm clock, a fan, and some pictures from home to tape on your bunk. Another good idea that my camp uses is bringing a "profile sheet" that you tape to your bunk that's all about you and your likes and dislikes. We also like to bring board games, art supplies, and card decks. My camp has the same "no anything that is electronic policy" and it sucks, but when you bring fun stuff it helps. I wouldn't recommend bringing a digital camera. They can get lost or dirty really easily (trust me, it's happened). Instead bring a couple of disposable cameras so you can have tons of pictures.

Good luck and I hope I helped out!

fitting camping stuff for 5 in a small car?

Kelsey

im going camping for 2 nights with 4 other people and we will be taking my ford escape up. its not a teeny car, but the back really isnt big enough for camping gear for 5. do you have any tips on how to pack like a pro when youre camping?

Answer
I too also have a Ford Escape. I will second the suggestion to keep folks in the backpacking mode of gear. You can actually fit 5 skinny folks in that SUV with all their gear. What I do with my larger tent, shelter and folding chair items is tie them down on the roof rack. If you have the trailer hitch option you can also use an extension carrier if your not already using a bike rack. I use that and put my ice chests on that.

Does anyone have a sugar glider?

Lexi

I am thinking of getting one/two. .

I usually work during the day, but will be home at night and I know they are nocturnal.

I also have a dog and 3 kids.. I was wondering if sugar gliders would be a good pet for me and my family..?

We are going to look at the tomorrow so if there is any information that would be great!

Answer
Hey Lexi,

I own two sugar gliders and researched for litterally MONTHS before I got mine. I still research about their diets and I'm also active in sugarglider.com forums. (which I REALLY suggest you check out before you get them)

You MUST get two gliders. In the wild they live in colonies and are sociable animals. If kept alone, they will get depressed, stop eating, chew, and pull their furr out, bite OFF their limbs and tail and self mutilate themselves, and pace back and forth in their cage all night and WILL eventually die. I know that seemed a bit scary and I'm definetely not trying to do that, but it is extreamely important that you get two. If you don't want to take my word for anything I say, then PLEASE do research for yourself and you will find out the same things.

Now, sugar gliders can bond at any age and will not just bond to one person. They do make alot of noise and alot of different noises all night long. It doesn't bother me or my wife and we have their cage right beside our bed. Some people, on the other hand, can't sleep beside them and end up putting th cage in the lifing room. I don't know why that other answer said anything about keeping them outside, but I suggest keeping them inside. Sugar gliders are native to Australia and like it warm all the time. Outside, it could be warm, cold, raining, windy, and they may get sick easier. Or a snake could get though their cage and eat them and mice would be attracted to their food. That would just be a stupid decision.

Gliders need a large cage to play and jump around in and these can get pretty expensive for the right size cage, and for this reason, I built my own. A cage for 2 gliders sould be at least 36 inches high, 24 inches wide and 14 inches deep. Some people just use large bird cages. Whichever way you go, it needs to have a pull out tray at the bottom for easier cleaning.

Feeding.
Gliders require a balanced nutritional diet of 50% protein (chiken or other lean meat/beef), 25% FRESH fruits, and 25% FRESH vegetable.
By FRESH, I mean they cannot be canned, they must be fresh or frozen vegetables.
You cannot simply feed them glider pellet food. I keep this in their cage during the day incase they get hungry, but they get a fresh mix of foods every night, and whatever is left uneaten, I take out during the morning.

Gliders can be very sweet pets if you spend the time with them to bond and play. I suggest you get a cheap camping tent and get inside it with them so they will be forced to interact with you and will bond much quicker.

They cannot be trained in any way and will poo and pee anywhere they wish. But it isn't much or often and is easy to clean up.

For treats, you can give them mealworms, yogurt, and ensure, just to name a few. They are lactose intolerate and cannot eat or drink dairy products but the process of making yogurt depleates the lactose, so it is safe.

They will get along just fine with dissaplined children. I would not leave the gliders alone with the dogs though. Actually, I wouldn't leave the gliders along ANYWHERE. They can be mischeivious.

I think if you have the time and patience, you will love sugar gliders as pets.

Once again, I reccomend checking out sugarglider.com
and if you have any more questions, ANY AT ALL, please feel free to email me and I would be glad to further inform you.
I want what is best for the glider.


*edit* after typing all that there where a few more terrible answers that were posted. Why would you bother to write about a pet if you havn't had one. It does take time to bond with them. I told you the tent trick. You can also place a T-shirt that you have worn all day in their sleeping pouch so they get used to your scent. Or you can get a bonding pouch and carry them around every chance you get. This is what I do. If they crab at you (which they will) simply slowly reach in and pet them or let them lick applesauce (another treat) off of your finger. DO NOT PULL BACK IF THEY TRY TO BITE. This will only teach them that biting works in their favor. Mine quickly learned after the first day that biting me would only make me handle them more. So they stopped doing it. LOL. Now mine are quite possible the sweetest animals I have ever owned. (It is between them and my last ferret) Hehe.
When they do bond to you, they are extremely sweet pets and very enjoyable to watch glider around.
By the way, mine are from a pet store but I actually met their biological parents. I would try to find a rescue that has some, or if your really want joeys (personally I would) you could check for a local breeder, and then if you can't find one, a petstore would work. I do not support glider mills that mass produce them for the most money possible. One glider mill that I know exists is called pocket pets and often sells at fairs and flea markets.

What lead to the Buckland River incident, during the incident did anybody help the Chinese?

James Good

Why did the other countries resent them

Answer
Your question did not specify which "Buckland River incident" you enquiring as there were more then one. So I started with the most recent.
An intense storm on 26 February 2003 (approximately 150mm of rain fell in a one-hour
period) in the catchment of Dingo Creek, a tributary of the Buckland River in north-east
Victoria resulted in a flash flood. This catchment had been heavily burnt during the
summer 2003 bushfires and, as a result, large quantities of ash and unconsolidated soil were
washed into the Buckland River. This material formed into a âslugâ of muddy water
which travelled rapidly down the Buckland River and entered the Ovens River upstream of
Myrtleford. As the sediment âslugâ moved downstream, water quality rapidly deteriorated,
posing a serious threat to town water supplies, stock water and to fish and other aquatic life in
the Ovens River.
As for the Chinese one-
Back in the mid to late 1800's there were a lot of negative stereotypes agaisnt chinese. But they flocked to Australia to seek gold in that countries, no one likes them and not one came to there aid either. Chinese had landed in Sydney bound for Lambing Flat, in central NSW, alarmed many miners who were doing it tough and saw the Chinese as a threat to their prosperity. With no troopers stationed at Lambing Flat to control the situation, the miners formed into a large a mob with the call 'roll up'. In June 1861, the worst anti-Chinese riots in Australian history occurred at Lambing Flat that resounded throughout Australian political and cultural history. Three thousand miners amassed to move the Chinese off the goldfield. A militant mob took over the meeting of miners assembled at All and Ale pub at Tipperary Gully. Th
