| Posted by-Jain Kang What Gear Do You Need For CampingWith camping, comes the campfire. Make sure your campfire is in an open space and far enough away from brush or trees so you don't run the risk of a stray spark catching them on fire. Surround the fire with stones to help keep it contained. Most importantly, never leave any campfire unattended. If you need to leave for any reason, make sure the campfire is extinguished completely. A big concern with many people who go camping is the bugs. Do not get stuck in the middle of nowhere without having some sort of bug repellant. Check your surroundings before setting up camp for any wasp nests or ant hills that could cause you problems. Wear long pants and long-sleeved whenever possible and inspect yourself for ticks occasionally. What Is Car CampingWhen it is time for you to go to sleep, it is a good idea to put the coolers that you brought along into your vehicle. Bears have become quite savvy these days and have figured out that these coolers usually carry food items and this will attract them to your campsite. Your camp should always be set up before the sun sets. This means a safe parking place for RV campers. If you have a tent, find dry, flat ground. You will be able to see the area better before nightfall and become familiar with it. You can save time by knowing what you are doing. What Is Backcountry CampingMake sure that the cooler you are taking with you is air tight. You do not want your food to spoil because the cooler was allowing the cool air to get out. Store your cooler in a shaded area where the sun will not work against it. This could save your food and your stomach. Before you even leave your camping trip, try practicing pitching a tent in your backyard or some other open space. People do not know how difficult pitching a tent can be; you do not want to get to camp and realize you have no idea what you are doing. Practice makes perfect! Try to schedule activities for your children such as board games or card games. Do not let the absence of TV and video games lead them to complain that they are bored. They may not know how to fish or pitch tents. If they have not spent much time outdoors, show them the basics before you leave. Pack plenty of food and make sure it's the right type. It depends on how long you'll be out, but you must have food that won't spoil on your trip. Just a little food poisoning can turn a camping trip upside down. This will make it easier to avoid food poisoning. Make sure you have a suitable water source. Even if you bring water with you, plan to need more water and know where you will be able to get more. It is a good idea to know where your water source will be before you go camping at all, but surely right after you arrive. It is perfectly normal to set a budget for your overall camping trip. Sit down and make a plan of what you must spend on your entire trip. Make sure you factor in the campground costs, gasoline prices as well as food and any other materials you will need to purchase. This will ensure that you don't spend more than you have on your trip. Wear layered clothing to manage your body temperature. When camping, it is a hassle to have to change clothing when temperatures suddenly rise or drop. However, if you layer your clothing, you will be able to quickly and easily peel off or put on layers of clothing as the need arises. A wonderful tip for camping is to take extra utility knives. These pieces of equipment are quite versitile and can get you out of a lot of bad situations. Make sure you secure all sources of food at night when you go to sleep. There are many animals that can frequent campgrounds at night and scavenge your food, especially when left open and unattended for hours. You don't want to wake up to your food scattered everywhere, and you left with a shortage. Save any cardboard boxes and paper bags in the weeks leading up to your camping trip. You can use some of the the boxes to carry supplies, of course, but they are also great for starting fires. Laundry lint from your dryer screen also makes great kindling for a fire. As you can now see, it's pretty easy to go camping while working with a limited budget. There is affordable camping equipment out there for anyone to use, all you have to do is find it and buy it. You feel better knowing that your camping trip didn't cost you an arm and a leg. ![]() |
