With another month of summer to enjoy, there's still plenty of time to plan the perfect camping trip.  I spent some time early Wednesday with camping expert Nate Scherper at Whitnall Park in Milwaukee County.  

We hit a couple of high points, including some new hi-tech gadgets you can use to make your experience that much better, such as a backpacking stove.  We then focused our attention on safety advice.  Everything from carrying a compass and knife to a water filter in case you need to drink out of a river or other body of water.

There are 4900 sites within the Wisconsin state park system.  So you know there's big interest in this.  Make sure to click on the attached link for everything camping.
