| | | 1 | Basic Skills: Sandbags |
| Any person who has spent any time in the military knows all about sandbags. They are heavy, awkward, and a tremendous amount of work to use. But, they work and work very well. Most civilian uses for sandbags consist of holding back some errant body of water from entering your home. |

| | | 2 | Basic Skills: Tent Drill |
| Before you go out in the woods to play with the bears, it would be a good idea to at least have some idea on how to set up your tent. Today's modern materials and tent shapes and sizes are difficult to assemble if you haven't yet done so.

| | | 6 | History: Rogue Turtle's Teepee |
| Here's my all-time favorite. Not because it is the best or the strongest or the easiest, but because of all the memories it brings back to me. |

| | | 7 | Power Camping: Tent Pegs |
| You probably haven't seen a tent peg quite like this one. This special "RogueTurtle" edition was constructed by the old RogueTurtle in his back yard workshop. I dug out that welder again just to prove to myself, once and for all, that I am a terrible welder. But, it works. |

| | | 8 | Roughing It: Tent Hammocks |
| There are a growing number of campers who choose to sleep in hammocks. The problem with most hammocks is that you are exposed to the elements, both rain and bugs. Now, new gear has been developed to take that problem away. The Tent-Hammock is a combination of both the tent (with bug screens) and a hammock. |
