How to make golf alot more fun!

Well were going to add some how to's here that are about camp cooking and what could be better than your most basic cooking using fire and a stick? ;)    But then everyone at camp has a stick so how about something more fun?  Here is what we did with a game we were no longer going to play anyway...

1. Here is a sad girl (my wonderfull helping daughter) with no way to roast anything over the fire:

Wait we can fix this!  It has a great grip and is and good 36" length:

But this end must go :)

Chop and fix with replaceable wire!

Drill or chop to make wire hole and path

Wire time

Finished end and a Happy Camper!!

What are these Disorganized Sports?

I want to keep this more of a useful how-to blog, than a personal blog, but I feel I must give a little bit of background into what this all about, and a little about who these Monson's are.  Our family is right in the middle of parenting three young children and we are spending alot of that quality time in the outdoors.  Myself and my wonderfull wife Lilly (of 16 years!) have a love of the outdoors that we want to form lasting memories around.  We like these outdoor activities because we can do them together, and frankly it was this way camping and canoeing when I was a kid and so that is where my passion for alot of it comes. 

  We're currently involved in Indian Princess (camping Dad/Daughter), Indian Guides (camping Father/Son), hunting, fishing, and boating.  At first it was casual and as the other members of the family started to enjoy outdoor activities we have turned it into a conscious choice to be an outdoor lifestyle family.  In some parts of the country we might be in the majority, but in our suburban DFW area it's a little weird that we're out pitching a tent on a Saturday or wetting a hook together rather than going to soccer games.

  We bring different toys and solutions out to enjoy these activities and that is where I expect some of the how-to articles to come in.  I have noticed that sometimes we Monson's solve something different than anyone else and I want to give a glimpse into all of that.  I love outdoor cooking on these trips for big groups so expect to see some grilling and smoking solutions that I have worked up over time as some of the first posts.

Thanks for coming and reading!
