Camping Lovers Guide

There are certain supplies that every family should have when camping. Ensuring you have the basic supplies to have fun and stay safe will enhance your camping experience. So do not pack on the fly. Instead, make sure you plan well and make lists so nothing is forgotten. Make lists and check off items as you pack. But also pack as lightly as possible. Remember that camping is a temporary state and that you will not need a lot of different clothing and only enough food and water to sustain you and your family during your trip.

Always be sure you have enough food and water so you and your family are properly nourished and hydrated. However, choose items that are lightweight, easy to cook and easy to clean up. Canned goods and lightweight items such as soups, canned meats, jerky, and cereals are perfect.

How often do you venture off on a camping trip? Are you one of those once a year kind of families, or do you practically live in the woods year-round? I have to say for our family it's more of an annual thing these days. It's just so hard to pull away from work, school, and family functions in order to have that date with Mother Nature. Although I was never big on camping supplies myself, it seems that we've added quite a few to the backpacks now days. I blame my wife for this. She's not exactly an outdoor nut. When we head off to the timber, I know there's one thing she absolutely has to have and that's one of those new-age camping heaters. Have you even heard of such a thing?

I can't wait to hit the trails and climb the mountains! I mean I like to go all out and scale those fierce rock walls with just some chalk on my hands and no safety cables whatsoever. Okay, you caught me; I'm lying. Hey, this isn't Cliffhanger you know. Anyway, I really do like to hit that wilderness scene for a fun weekend of camping, hiking and lounging by the fire ring. There's just something relaxing about crickets chirping at night and the bright moon washing over my face. Not a car in sight for miles; no chaos of crowds and pitter-patter of marching feet. Yes sir, that visit with Mother Nature is often much needed. So, have you taken any good camping adventures lately? One thing you'll need to make sure is up to speed is your outdoor camping equipment. Do you have all the necessities for a fun and eventful weekend away from home?

If someone were to ask me of my favorite experience while outdoors with my father, I would immediately respond "tent camping!" When my brother and I were younger, our parents were determined to help us experience the most out of our summer vacations and still spend time with them. Thus, instead of signing us up to join a summer camp, since they were both working individuals and time was back then a luxury, my parents decided to split their summer vacations in such way so as to increase our ability to vacate with them; even if that meant that we would have to spend more time first with the one and later with the other.

We go camping to escape the rat race, to relax, and to learn about the natural world.

Tragically, some of nature's cruelest lessons are learned when we are trying to become better acquainted with her, as we are occasionally reminded when people drown in a flash flood while on a camping trip.

Like any other human endeavor, successful and safe camping adventures require planning and cautious forethought.

Before Leaving

* Pack a first aid book, and a well stocked kit. Bring warm clothing layers and rain gear for bad weather.

* A short list of necessities includes: cooking utensils, insect repellents, lanterns, tool kit, sunscreen, matches in a waterproof container, toilet paper, soap, hooded sweatshirt for children, a hat, and a compass. (more...)
