This is why I had Camping and Homesteading as the first catagory. It
probably fell under Gardening for this setup. I think it should have
it's own subsection under Camping and Homesteading admittedly.

Honestly I looked for it under Non-fiction and surpisingly it wasn't
there. I think it should be though.

Actually I'd say it's either under Readings or Monologues depending on
the person doing it.
