A Couple Of Tips for Outdoor Camping Newbies

A little planning and organization will benefit in a terrific unforgettable adventure for that next outdoors excursion you might have prepared.

Always permit for the worst thing that could occur because sometimes it will; freezing cold, sick kids, downpours, insect bugs, strong winds can all ruin a fantastic time if you are not prepared for the worst and always take along the sunscreen/hat and bug repellent.

* If you need to travel light you may be better off carrying food types that don’t need to be cooked; the midday meal should be quick and easy for everyone specifically with canoeing activities etc and keep the cooking for around the campfire or portable range in the evening; try to minimize the eco impact and keep to the established cooking locations. [be aware of fire bans]

* Make sure you have all the essentials for a good nights sleep like a mosquito net, mosquito coils and a fast fill air mattress or pad, nothing worse than a bad nights sleep.

* Be eco friendly and take your garbage away with you unless there are garbage facilities available and when going to the toilet if you need to dig a hole, make it good and deep and far from the beaten track; consider your fellow campers.

* Always be thoughtful of fellow campers, do not smoke out your neighbours with your camp fire or camp too close and keep the noise down to a minimum as all of us take pleasure in a quiet nights sleep and a little privacy, if you must use a generator for electrical power be mindful of the eco impact of both noise and spillage of oils and fuels.

* At packup time your camp website should appear you were never ever there; ensure your gear is packed correctly, dry and good, otherwise you will require to dry it out when you get home, due to the fact that any moist material gear will get foul-smelling and mouldy and potentially rot away.

*Brand new travel trailers are very economical like these:

  • small travel trailors

  • small travel trailer manufacturers

  • 19 ft travel trailer

 

 

* Obviously these notes are just a really broad overview … but you have to begin somewhere …
