| Article by-Good Muir Camping Essentials For People Who Dont CampAre you planning on trying tent camping for the first time and want some help choosing the right tent? First of all, choose a tent where everyone has enough room to sleep comfortably with enough space left to stow your gear. Also, make sure your tent has sturdy tent poles, heavy-duty zippers and seams that are double sewn. It is also important to make sure your tent has rain protection. Choose a tent with a rain fly. Know the climate of your camping area. You will want to have the proper clothing packed for the trip. Knowing how cold the nights get or how hot the days are will help you dress best. You will not want to get caught in the great outdoors with inadequate protection. What To Pack For CampingMake sure that you take some activity equipment with you. Fishing poles, decks of cards and games will be fun campsite entertainment. If your kids are along on your camping trip, include as many entertainment items as possible. If you are camping outdoors instead of in a travel trailer or RV, it is important to dress in (or carry with you) layers of clothing. While on a camping trip, temperatures can fluctuate widely. The easiest and most effective method to control your body temperature is through adding and removing layers of clothing. Having layers of clothing also protects you from bug bites. What To Take For CampingCharge all of your electronic equipment such as your cell phones and gaming equipment for the children to the max before you go to a camping trip. You want to get the most out of their charge when you do decide to use them, so make sure they are charged. One great tip for anyone who is planning a camping trip is to bring along plenty of 550-cord. This cord is extremely useful for many things like staking guy-lines, installing tarp and hanging bear bags. It is always better to bring to much chord than too little and find that you really need it. When you're done with your trip, be sure to leave behind a clean campsite. You need to bring along bags for trash so you can clean up. Be certain to take your leftover food with you too. When you leave a campsite, the only thing left should be your footprints. Be aware of the wildlife where you are setting up camp. You do not want to set up in a place where the opossums, racoons and skunks have already called home. Learn the signs of the animals so you can find a safe place to set up camp without worrying as much about these animals at night. Make sure to plan fun things to do from your trip's start to its finish. Campfires and marshmallows provide hours of fun, but there is so much more to a camping trip. Be sure to include activities that every member of the party can participate in. Keep all ages in mind when you are creating a plan. After reading the article you are better prepared to start your camping adventure. Camping is not intended to be an intense event, but there is a bit of know-how required to make it stress free. Apply what you learned here towards your next awesome adventure! |
