When it comes to enjoying a vacation on a limited budget, it is difficult to beat the appeal of the good old camping trip. After all, it costs next to nothing to pitch your tent in the back country wilderness of your favorite state or national park. A week long camping trip can often cost less than a day or two in a big city or tourist hot spot, while giving the entire family time to bond and enjoy being together.

As a matter of fact, camping is one of the most popular family activities, and many families enjoy camping together, sharing stories around a roaring fire, roasting marshmallows, swimming, fishing and all the other great things that come with a camping trip.

Camping during the off-season is enjoyable, but it can be dangerous if you’re not prepared to strike the winter trails. Protection from the elements is essential if you’re going out, and knowing how to dress can be a life saver. In other words, dress for winter camping so it’ll be a life time of memories for you in the future.

Clothing is the most valuable asset to ward off the cold. Make sure when you go out to dress in 3 layers of clothing during winter camping. The more layers you have on you’ll stay warmer than with just a bulky layer of clothes. Cold has a hard time getting through if you’ve got on insulated material against your skin. Next, dress with a warm fleece, and then insulate yourself again with water proof gear when winter camping.

I was recently going through the garage getting the camping gear together for an upcoming trip and was just flooded with memories from my childhood. Some noise brought me back to reality and I realized with a chuckle a tear had formed in my eye. That is how strong the memories of camping are for me.

This one memory of camping was so fun I thought I would share it with you.

I was just a young boy, maybe 8 or 10 years old. My family often went camping. My dad loved to hunt and fish. One of my favorite destinations was the beach. The surf, the waves, the breeze, it was a whole different world. There was so much to explore and feel and touch. Camping at the beach will always be my favorite memories.

Tips For Hiking Solo

Getting out into the wilderness for a couple of days of hiking and camping can be invigorating, and provide some time for some down time. Having a light weight 2 person tent can be very advantageous. Going solo, or with a friend, hiking into the woods with a backpack, tent, sleeping bag, and a few basics can create lots of tremendous memories. There are some very basic rules that you need to observe for both your own safety and that of the environment.

1. Choose The Correct Equipment

What equipment you take with you will determine the success of your camping trip. A 2 man tent is a great way to go backpacking light. Often if you have another person, a two man tent isn't big enough for both of you and your gear. This is especially true if your hiking companion is very tall or rather large. If you are going to be solo hiking a two person tent is perfect for holding you and your gear.
