Customer Review: G.I joe tent
Its just like the army's version of the tent halves you put together to make one, but all you have to do it bout 10 mins of work to have this baby up and good to go.

Utah is a great place for camping. One of the reasons it attracted Mormon settlers was because it was full of stunning natural beauty, like nothing anyone had ever seen before.

The good news for all you campers and hikers is that all that scenery has been preserved by the park service for us to enjoy today. If you look at a map of Utah, you'll see that almost the entire south-central portion is national park. You could easily spend several weeks in Utah and always find new things to see.

Bryce Canyon

Utah has some of the greatest camping in the country, and Bryce Canyon is a choice spot. Bryce is about 250 miles south of Salt Lake City and about 7,000 feet up in the air. At Bryce, you'll find hiking trails that lead right into the canyon, and a nice, high desert climate.

It may not be New York City, but Bryce Canyon has its own Wall Street. It's a little different, though. It's one of the many canyon trails that winds around into the canyon, where you are surrounded by towering rock formations that cast shadows every which way. Bryce Canyon is a desert hiker's dream.

Because it's so high up, Bryce gets its fair share of weather extremes. In the summer it is hot, and in winter it is freezing cold. Many find that late spring or early fall are good times to go. At those times of year, you can have some warmth and sunshine for your day hikes and the cool desert night to sleep in.

Bryce Canyon has 2 campgrounds, but there are also places where you can pitch your camp out in the wilderness. Both campgrounds are RV accessible.

Zion

Zion is an amazing place because it's located in the spot where three distinct landscapes meet. It's located at the crossroads between the Mojave Desert, the Colorado Plateau and the Great Basin. This is why Zion offers sights you won't see anywhere else.

Hiking and mountain biking are the best way to see Zion. For those of you who are not into long all-day hikes, there are lots of trails that aren't too long. There are three campgrounds with varying levels of accommodation with spots for your RV and motor home. You can keep it as rugged or as comfortable as you want.

If you really want to see the best of what Zion has to offer, you have to hit the backcountry. This may mean strapping everything to your back and stretching those legs a little bit, but it will be well worth it.

At Zion, you'll see stark cliffs rising out of the canyon floor, rushing streams cutting through walls of rock, wind and water-sculpted rock formations that look like something from Mars, strikingly beautiful wildflowers growing out of bare earth... and maybe even a mountain lion! Don't worry, they're shy. If you see one, it will be for a split second before he runs off to safety.

Arches

Arches National Park is named after its most striking feature - the arches. These arches are made of all natural sandstone. Over time, the wind has carved them out of this delicate rock. For geologists, it's a goldmine of ancient fossils. For hikers and other outdoors types, it's full of spectacular scenery.

In addition to the arches that make it famous, the park is full of barren desert beauty. Giant boulders stand balanced on top of each other, like they might be ready to fall at any moment. Unearthly rocky shapes stand out in a landscape of sand, shrub and brightly colored wildflowers. Arches is a photographer's paradise, with its rock structures that subtly change shape over the course of the day as the sun hits them at different angles.

There's only one campground at Arches, the ominously named Devils Garden Campground. If you plan to go, especially during summer, you should call to make a reservation. You can also make a reservation online. There are both tent camping spots as well as those that can accommodate larger vehicles, trailers and RVs, complete with hook-ups.

You can plan a whole camping vacation around Utah alone. Besides these popular national parks, there are more out-of-the way places to camp in Utah, where you can really get away from it all.

The spectacular outdoors are great sites to see from your family motor home. Visit Bankston Motor Homes, http://www.bankstonmotorhomes.com/, to search for your next motor home or come by and visit with us at any of our five locations.

The Chances of the World Changing

Fueled by an abiding passion for saving endangered animals, Richard Ogust abandons his life as a writer to build a fragile ark that is constantly on the brink of capsizing. CHANCES OF THE WORLD CHANGING is the poetic, lyrical tale of a saintly, but all-too-human artist who sacrifices nearly everything in his quest to preserve the world s disappearing turtles and tortoises.

Pressed into bankruptcy, living out of a tent, and nearly driven mad by bureaucracy and the needs of his 1000-plus turtles, Ogust is in a furious race against time to keep his turtles and his well-being intact. Through depressing setbacks and moments of triumph, Ogust maintains his vision of a future where his turtles, and he, can return home.

Award-winning CHANCES OF THE WORLD CHANGING, directed by Eric Daniel Metzgar, features stunning photography of some of the planet's
nearly-extinct turtle species and pays tribute to their tortoise-pace lifestyle in a rabbit s world. An honest and patient study in the joys and sorrows of survival, CHANCES OF THE WORLD CHANGING is cinema verité on every scale, an epic nestled in the eternal moment. (Macleans)

Customer Review: Wildlife conservation
I found this movie profoundly depressing, but expected to do so since the topic is so difficult to resolve. I thought it did a great job calling attention to the plight of turtles and the difficulties involved in their conservation. I guess I wondered, though, if the perspective was a little too narrow and whether the isolation in which these turtle breeders appear to operate is as real as it appears in the film. With many zoos focusing on breeding endangered species in captivity and many international organizations concerned about wildlife I just have to wonder if there is no support out there and if so how best to connect with these groups in order to help people interested in conservation find ways of focusing their energies most effectively. I read reviews of the movie on line and found myself annoyed with some conservation officers who were quoted therein- the response being that you don't have to be involved internationally to protect turtles- you can start in your own backyard. While I agree with that summary to a certain extent I believe it misses the point- which is or should be, how can we develop organizations that can help us understand the most effective way to focus our efforts- if Vietnamese turtles are more in crisis from the turtle trade, then we do have to focus on them. But with a better organized group keeping track of their status, we would know of the needs of turtles nationally and locally as well. And know when to take action at whichever level.
Customer Review: Stunning film
The chances of the World Changing Wow I don't know else to say over what this reviewer Richard A. Weissman has said, good thing it looks like you just beat me to a review, saved me some typing haha. This guy in the film, Richard Ogust one of those rare honest self effacing people who says its not about me its about the subject, if anyone watches this and thinks anything else, you don't know nothing about people. I just love the pace of these kind of doc's, just keep it simple, tell the story, but don't let us get to bored watching it, infuse it with good music, and there is lots in here on that, seems to come at you at the right times, and what you have is just an all around stunning film, and this is it. Now for the sad reality, sorry but here it goes. human population is exploding, and there is no turning back on this, so in the very near future, despite well intentioned people(s), with all the mouths to feed and so many poor people that don't care about nothing but living to the next day, and some the live well but still don't care, they want their turtle soup, ivory tusk, have such an ego that they want to go hunt big game cats, and other big game, and I am just scratching the surface here, and well add it all up and its time to call it what it is, and what it "is" is not good. Sorry, it's just not, reality check. My mom has this lady friend who I have known for some time, she is like the man in this film, and she has this saying when its comes to everything we are discussing here, and she has been saying it for years, and that is: "To many fk'n people, to many people fk'n" Say that 3 times real fast. Add to all this even more "well meaning" people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet sinking BILLIONS of there own money and trying to make others feel guilty and give also, into saving even MORE people around the world who need help just because they are poor and life is not fair to them. When has life ever been fair? History proves that. But come on we have DOUBLED in world population in about the last 100 years, from 3 to SIX BILLION. We took how many THOUSANDS of years to get to 3 billion, and "blink" "which is the time frame of 100 years", we doubled. And hint, its NOT going to revert backwards, ever. Not with all the advanced medical we have now. And we "think" we can "change the world"??? Really? The Chances Of The World Changing Are Good???? Like people are gonna "stop fkn"?? Like hahahahaha What then, life sucks?, just give up?, eat drink and party for tomorrow we die? Well now, there just doesn't seem to be an answer, eh? So now what

France is an excellent destination for camping holidays, whether you choose to stay in a caravan or tent there are many top quality regions to choose from.

If you are a first time visitor to France you may be interested in arranging your holiday through a tour operator. Keycamp and Eurocamp are probably the two most popular tour operators for European camping holidays, particularly for UK citizens.

So where are the best places to stay?

How about a trip to the Vendee region in western France. The Vendee region is well known for its fine Atlantic coast beaches. With around a 250km stretch youre sure to find the perfect spot for you, whether you wish to take part in various high octane water sports such as jet skiing, or if you prefer the solitude in a secluded location. There are many fine camp sites to choose from in Vendee such as the 4 star sites Du Jard, Le Clarys Plage and Les Ecureuils to name but a few, each of these being within a short walking distance from the beach.

Perhaps you could venture further inland to the Dordogne region in the south of France. Popular camping sites in the Dordogne include the family run site of Les Peneyrals, Saint Avit Loisirs, La Palombire and La Paille Basse. All of these sites are located in the centre of the Dordogne allowing easy access to other places of interest in the region. Places of interest include the towns of Sarlat, Souillac, and Bergerac. Or for the more adventurous why not take a canoeing trip down the Dordogne River or visit the Lascaux and Lacave caves.

The Gironde region located in south west France is home to Bordeaux, which is well known worldwide for its production of fine wines. Top campsites in Gironde include Bonne Anse Plage, Sequoia Parc, and Domaine d'Oleron situated on Ile de Oleron off the mainland coast. Markets are commonplace in French towns and are well worth the visit, if just to take in the local ambience alone. Most campsites will be able to provide you with information on when and where the local markets are held. Maybe you could take on the locals at Ptanque (French bowls), which is a popular pastime played all over France.

This is just a brief glimpse of some of the most popular French regions and activities. There are many other exciting regions to visit in France each with their own unique flavour and characteristics.
