| Content written by-Mangum Cain How To Make Coffee When CampingBefore leaving for a trip away, attend a comprehensive first aid tutorial. Undertaking such a task is particularly important if you are going to be camping with children. If you have an accident, you are going to know how to fix the situation before you can get professional medical help. Additional research can also provide valuable information. Knowing about the native species in your camp area, such as snakes or other dangerous animals, is essential. 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. How To Store Food While 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. Make a list of things you need to take with you before you go camping. You may think you are great at packing, but little else is worse than being out in the middle of the woods and realizing you forgot your allergy medication. Sit down and create a comprehensive list of everything you might need during the week before your camping trip. How To Start CampingWhen camping, most people enjoy relaxing around a campfire. To prevent your fire from becoming out of control, you should incorporate a few safety practices. First of all, build your fire away from bushes and trees so that sparks from your fire will not start a forest fire. You will also want to use a circle of rocks to contain your campfire. Do not ever leave your fire unattended. Before leaving your campsite, make sure your campfire has been totally extinguished and that there are no remaining hot embers. If you will be camping somewhere that is very far away from civilization, then make sure you have told several people where you will be as well as how long you are intending to stay. Ask them to call you on the day you are supposed to return to ensure your safety. When preparing for a camping trip, people often fail to bring enough clothes. Remember that there will be no washing facilities, and you also need to think about how the weather can call for certain specific attire as well at times. You always want to be prepared, so pack accordingly. Many people who are not very experienced with camping start out by doing day trips. This can be a great way to adjust to nature without the dangers associated with staying in the woods all night. The best way to do is to find a simple hotel near the campground, but only for sleeping purposes. If you are camping with others, ensure that there is something available to keep everyone entertained. There is nothing worse than a bored campmate, as they will constantly pester you for activities. Talk to your family and friends before hand and make sure they know how to entertain themselves for the trip. Are you a beginning camper and have just purchased your first tent? If you are, practice setting up your tent before you go camping. You should know what you need and how to do it before you actually have to do it. This also ensure that you can perform the task more quickly if you get to your campsite late, and darkness begins to set in. When bringing the kids along for the ride, keep a picture on your person at all times. If they get separated from you, having a picture will make finding them a lot easier. Be sure to have a photo for an emergency, even more so if you're camping far away from your home. Be prepared if you get lost on a camping trip. You should know how to use a map, compass, and GPS device before leaving for your trip. You should also keep these on your person during your trip. If you stray too far from your campsite, these items can help you get back quickly and safely. As crazy as it seems, packing a roll or two of toilet paper is a great idea when you are going camping. If your campsite lacks toilet facilities, you will need to use the woods. You certainly don't want to be wiping yourself with leaves. There are safety procedures that should be followed when camping. This means staying clear of dangerous wildlife and some of the small creatures of the forest. Even though they are small, any animal can be dangerous, even a squirrel. Refrain from feeding these animals as they can do damage to you. After reading the camping advice in this article, no one should see camping in a negative light. Camping should be seen for the wonderful activity that it is, not as a potential danger. If you remember what you've read here, you should be able to camp safely without any problems. ![]() |
