We all love the idea of being at one with nature, and camping can be the perfect opportunity for this. Drive to a remote location, set up your tent, and settle down to watch the sunset with your loved one, sipping on a cold drink and tucking into some smores. But oftentimes, the reality can look very different. Some people are simply not as suited to the life outdoors as others, and if you don’t know what you’re doing in the camping world, things can go very wrong very quickly.Let’s take a look at some of the most disastrous—and hilarious—camping fails of all time.
I. Am. Done.With. Snow. Days. You? Okay I've been forced to lock myself in my office for a few hours to avoid the WWE smackdown that...
The smartest new-build homes are not just sustainable, but also soothe the senses. The secret is cross-laminated timber. We asked some of its biggest fans in the architecture world why it’s the material of the moment…

Giant Jenga Tutorial Our flower girl playing Jenga at the wedding. What could be better than playing Jenga with friends? Playing GIANT Jenga with friends. This game brings me back to the days when we would go to the Barcade in Fishtown Philadelphia then stroll on over to Frankford Hall, a German-style beer garden, for a few drinks and a nice game of classic building blocks. Imagine my excitement when we found a giant jenga set at Ritual Brewing Co. right here in Redlands. We had so much fun with it and knew we had to make a set for our wedding cocktail hour. Now that the wedding is over, it serves as the perfect backyard prop for barbecues, parties, and all sorts of get-togethers. Fun Fact from good ole Wiki: Jenga is derived from a Swahili word meaning "to build." Supplies: 6 - 2x4'' x 8' wood blocks (we bought 8 - 2x4s to make 72 pieces, but you only need 54 pieces which can be done with just 6 - 2x4s) Miter saw or circular saw (much easier with a miter saw) Sander with 120 grit and 80 grit sand paper Hemp seed oil (can be found online or in organic food stores) Paint (optional) Wood burning/ heat tool (optional) Step 1: Measure your 2x4s to 10.5'' (9 per 2x4) We couldn't find our long measuring tape so we ended up using a sheet of paper cut to 10.5 inches to mark each 2x4 Step 2: Cut your 2x4s to make 54 - 10.5'' blocks We ended up buying 8 2x4s to make 72 blocks since we were going to split them into two sets and put them on tables so nobody would have to bend down in formal wear to play. Step 3: Sand the blocks, first with the 80 grit sand paper, then with the 120 grit sand paper. We used a ryobi orbit sander for the job. Step 4 (optional): Paint the sides! We wanted to makes sure that the blocks would be able to slide against one another relatively smoothly so we decided to only paint the sides to avoid paint sticking between the blocks. Paints used: American decor chalky finish Let the blocks dry for 24 hours before moving to step 5 Step 5: Seal it! Using a towel, rub hemp seed oil over the entire block including the paint. This will help seal the wood and prevent molding if you leave the blocks outside. Hemp seed oil is edible and harmless so it's safe for use around kids and pets. Better and safer than chemical stains/seals. It also brings out details of the wood grain and gives the wood just a tad more "slip" to make the game a little easier to play. Left: Wood sealed with hemp seed oil Right: Same wood - pre-seal Wood sealed with hemp seed oil Leave wood blocks out to dry for 24 hours before use. Step 6 (optional): Add a design. I wanted to add the final touch to these wood pieces by engraving our initials on the blocks, since after all, they were going to be part of the wedding. I bought a wood engraving kit from Michaels which includes a "hot tool" and different tips. The tip of the hot tool basically burns the wood and you can use it to draw whatever design you want. ****CAUTION**** These heat tools are very very hot. They can go as high as 700° F. Do not use around kids/pets and be careful not to leave it near anything that can melt/catch fire. In the end it took so long to engrave the blocks I only had time to do 6 of them, 3 for the top of each Jenga stack for when I split them into two sets. Step 7: Play! In the words of Ke$ha: "It's going down, I'm yelling timber!" 72 piece giant Jenga Set - Roughly 3 feet tall.
