Are You New To The Hobby Of Camping? Here Is Some Free Information About Getting Ready For Your First Camping Trip.
Camping is such a wonderful family activity. If you are going to take children with you, it will give them some lifetime memories. Anyone who went camping as a kid can attest to that. No matter what you actually do during the trip, or what the weather ends up being like, it is always a great adventure when you are a child.
Don't forget to bring the most important things. You will need to bring a tent unless you are planning to rent a cabin or stay in a camper. You will certainly want some kind of minimal shelter for you and your family. Depending on where you are going, there are many things you might want better shelter from.
Some of the absolutely necessary tools of camping include pillows, flashlights, sleeping bags, batteries, a hatchet and chairs. If you are going to be camping in a tent, think about getting yourself an Aero inflatable portable bed inflatable air mattress. It will really improve the whole trip if you get a decent nights rest.
Prepare yourself so you have the necessary supplies for starting a campfire. Bring old newspapers or thinner cardboard. Find matches and a lighter. I prefer to bring a camping saw and a hatchet. I also like to take my own wood. You may not be allowed to bring in your own wood depending on where you are going camping. Some states have regulations about it.
You need to consider how you are going to cook your meals. Consider bringing a cooler for food, propane stove and tanks, plates, silverware, soap, a dish rag and a plastic tub for cleaning dishes. Not every campground has the facilities to wash dishes. We usually take plastic and paper plates and silverware.
Consider what kinds of clothing you will likely need for the trip. If you are going hiking make sure you have some comfortable hiking boots. You don't want foot pain. Bring a couple pairs of shorts if it will be warm and long pants if it is supposed to be cold. Your clothes may get dirty or ripped so don't bring your best attire. Don't forget to include a bathing suit, rain jacket, sweatshirt and a hat. Those are must have clothes for any camping trip.
Remember to bring your personal hygiene products for you and your whole family. Pack all of the daily use items into a shaving kit. Make sure you bring bars of soap, shampoo, cue tips, deodorant, razors, and shaving cream. Don't forget to bring contact lens solution if someone wears them. Don't forget to bring towels for everybody. If you're going to be gone more than a few days, you are going to want something to hang the towels on to dry out. Don't forget to bring any necessary medications.
Here are some other kinds of things that you should bring to make the trip even more enjoyable. How about taking a pocket knife, battery powered lanterns, binoculars, cameras, mosquito repellent, bottled water, cocktails, burn ointment, band aids, sun tan oil, a radio, chocolate bars and marshmallows with graham crackers .
Bring activities for the kids. You are going to have a lot more fun on your trip if the youngsters have plenty of things to occupy their time. Besides, half the reason you are going on this trip is for them to have some fun too. One guy that I know takes recordings of ghost stories to play around the campfire at night. You could also take a softball, baseball, football, Frisbee or a kite. Bring anything that can be done safely outdoors. Make the most use of the wide open areas in most parks.
Create a personalized camping list. There will be things that you think are important that I haven't mentioned. Make a complete list so you won't forget anything. Some people can't leave home without taking a camera, fishing gear or insect repellent. - 2368
