Camping Lovers Guide

I have a love/hate relationship with camping. I love to be outdoors, and I love the idea of spending that time with friends and family away from modern distractions, but the idea of sleeping on the ground is not something that gets me excited. This comes from past experience, and the knowledge that my back doesn’t like my bed on some nights. Laying on the ground to sleep is something that guarantees that I will be in a lot of pain the next day. Recently, someone suggested that I look into a camper, which I won’t do, or perhaps I should consider getting camping cots for the few times we wish to go camping.

I have to admit that the idea of camping cots opens up the world of camping for me again. I don’t think I would enjoy camping as much if I were in a camper, unless there is bad weather or perhaps the nights are very cold. However, camping cots would ensure that I could rest much better at night, and that would mean that I feel well enough to enjoy myself during the day. This would mean I would be more likely to get excited about a trip, and that I would also be more willing to plan more of them.

Making a camping list... What is practical? Do you like to get in with the great outdoors by cuddling with your loved ones around a campfire making Smore's? Do you like to hike through the woods and see all that God has given us? Camping is the best way to accomplish all of that.

Some campers have gotten the packing down to a science on what they can leave behind and what they can't do without. How long will you be gone is the most important question you need to ask yourself before going on a camping trip. This will allow you to know how much food to take as well as staple supplies.

If you are a first time camper, and you want to make sure that you are not forgetting those special things that will make your life easier in your trip. Check these top eight things a camper must not forget, when going camping.

Tent
We know this one is already on your list but just in case, remember that whatever tent you choose, it should absolutely adapt to weather conditions. Check out the size and how easy it is to assemble. You do not want to spend hours figuring out where the poles go. If your trip includes a walking trip, and you are going to be carrying your tent around make sure it is not too heavy for you. Your tent should be comfortable and safe. It should have protected seams, waterproof floors, zipper protection and it should be very resistant.

We've been camping for a long as we can remember. As little kids, we loved the idea of being outdoors and sleeping in a tent. Sure we whined but it was great fun none the less. Of course as kids we didn't have to put up those old tents that seemed to take hours as we waited impatiently. And as kids we really didn't mind too much the idea of sleeping on the rock hard floor. As grandparents now however, we are so thankful for camping cots.

The idea of nothing but the bottom of a sleeping bag between my self and the ground is enough to make me want to stay home. Of course now we realize that camping cots would have made the experience even more enjoyable as kids. Now I'm not so old that they didn't have these cots when I was a kid, but they were huge and heavy. They were difficult to set up. And the comfort level probably wasn't much more than sleeping on the ground would be.
