Camping supplies for fun camping should be the bare essentials that you need and you should enjoy the camping spirit by being innovative and making use of whatever you can get a hold of on the camping site. However, there are some essentials that you will have to carry with you. Make a list and then decide what is absolutely necessary and what is not. Make sure that you try and stick to your budget and not go overboard with things that you can do without. It is not just the cost, but also remember that you will have to carry it all too. 

Your mode of travel

What you can carry largely depends on your mode of travel. If you have a camping trailer then you can carry a lot more and take all the comforts that you want along with you. But if you have a back pack then it is better to camp light and not burden yourself with too much camping supplies. You will have to make sure that you have all the essentials if you are traveling with a back pack. As the amount you carry will be limited make a list and ensure that you do not leave out something that will be very important for you to have on your list. 

Carry unbreakable camping supplies

A very important factor of the kind of stuff you are carrying, is, that it should be unbreakable. Your cups and plates could either be plastic ones or you could also use disposable ones. This way you will have less stuff to carry back home with you and can travel lighter. Also you will not have the trouble of cleaning up after you have had a meal, which could be a big problem when you want to get on with enjoying yourself instead of being burdened by these chores. 

Some absolutely necessary essentials

A well equipped first aid kit is something that you cannot do without. This should have some bandages of different sizes, some antiseptic solutions and creams, scissors, tweezers (you never know when you need to pull out a thorn or a splinter), insect repellants and some essential medications for any problems like aches and pains, fevers, a tummy problem. The bottles and lotions should be unbreakable ones to ensure that you do not end up with no medication when you need it.  What you will also require is a torchlight with spare batteries, a radio, a cell phone, some games to sit down and play in case there is a down pour and you have to remain inside your tent, and a route map. This apart you need your food supplies and snacks to keep you going. Water and water purifiers are very necessary. Carry food stuff that is easy to eat, and also quick to cook. You will probably do dome cooking round your camp fire too. So go over your check list of camping supplies just before you start out to make sure that you have all that you want.

A camping site is an important part of your trip to the outdoors. Selection of the camping site should be foremost on a list of things to plan for before heading out. A badly planned camping trip is a damp cloth on all the spirit that goes with that perfect getaway trip. It is important that you keep a few things about the camping site in mind before you choose. Using a camping guide is a good idea!

The internet has opened up a plethora of options for a camper to choose from. It is increasingly simple to find that perfect piece of land to spend the weekend away from home. But it is important that you choose wisely, even after you think you have found a few great candidates for the same. Contact the agency that holds the most frequent camping trips to the place, and make enquiries about the best season to go there, the kind of food they allow, the water sources there, etc. Also check for availability and if they allow large groups or not.

Try and choose a campsite as close to Mother Nature as you can, while trying to preserve her wealth too. Choosing a low impact camping site is important. The ethics while camping dictate that you don’t litter at the campsite. Set up camp at the established camping site at any location. If there is a source of water, set up camp sufficiently far away as wild animals in the vicinity need the water hole for their needs as well. Always have a camping guide at hand to know the rules of the trade.

Keep in mind the fact that you are away at the camping trip to relax and get away from your hectic schedule, so reducing your hassles at the camp site can be done by planning well ahead. Study the kind of terrain and land patterns at the camping site. An established camping site will have clearings for tents and fires. Try and find out if there are marshes nearby, and if there are take sufficient precautions against insects and mosquitoes. Beware of rocky ledges where snakes might dwell, or rocky cliff sides where an avalanche is possible. Check the undergrowth at a camping site for poisonous plants.

Knowing the regulations at a camping site is the duty of any responsible camper. Find out if the camping site allows using trees for firewood. Always douse the fire after you are done, and leave no chance for forest fires. Do not camp near broken trees resting on each other, or loose boulders which can fall. When camping near water, set up camp at high altitudes where the ground is dry.

A camping guide is not just for beginners, even campers with loads of experience to boot carry a guide around just in case.

Camping Tents: Choose the right tent for your camping adventure

January 15th, 2008

Choosing a camping tent depends on where you are planning to camp. A lot depends on the weather and the surroundings for you to decide on the kind of tent you should pick up. There are different kinds of tents for different locations and you can go through catalogues or search on the internet for what would be a suitable tent for the place where you will be camping.

Tents for mountain camps

There are many different kinds of tents for each different location. There are various designs available in each category, like heavy duty ones for mountainous regions where the weather conditions will be quite extreme with heavy winds and acute cold. For this sort of weather you will need a tent that is not too big, well insulated and keeps you warm and gives you the protection you need from the heavy winds. You should also make sure that your tent is waterproof, because in mountainous regions there are chances of sudden downpours. A good idea is to visit several tent sales to see what is available in the market before you settle for one that suits you.
Basic requirements of a tent

When choosing a camping tent you have to look into certain features that it should have. The first thing that you should look for is a suitable size. It should be large enough to hold the number of people who plan to occupy it and also their things. The next important aspect is the material that it is made of. This should be durable and yet light weight so that carrying it will not be a problem and it should also be able to withstand the weather conditions. Tents are usually made of either canvas which though durable is heavy; nylon is both durable and light; and polyester which is also durable and light. The camping tent should be sturdy and strong with heavy duty zips and pegs and poles which are solid and secured firmly. The seams should have a double stitching so that there is no chance of the seam giving way. The next feature of the camping tent should be its being able to withstand the weather like wind conditions and heavy rain and should give you enough protection in case you are caught in a downpour. For this you have to make sure that it is water proof. There should be enough ventilation inside the tent so that you do not feel suffocated in it. And finally it should be easy to put up. You will have to check with the dealer when you buy the tent that it has all the instructions and all the parts that go into setting it up also.

With a camping tent that will give you the protection and comfort that you need on your camping trip you are all set to have a comfortable and secure camping trip.

Before the internet became a part of everything we did, campers had a whole lot of trouble selecting camping sites, and times. Mostly relying on word of mouth, campers and their families and friends went to campsites based on trust. The only other way of finding out about campsites where no friend had been to were to read the brochures, which almost always over amplified the merits of the campsite. Advertisements of campsites, like all other advertisements, glossed over the details, and often sold a sorry terrain to the camper. Although many advertisements on the internet have the same drawbacks, the web is not the ideal places to learn camping for beginners.

Because of the Internet’s potential to help anyone buy or sell anything, it has become the poster board for campsites and agencies to showcase their merits. One short keyword into a search engine, and you have the best camping destinations around your area at your mouse click. The information contained on the sites about the camps is also detailed to the T and this sometimes works against the person looking for a great campsite. Understanding the power of great research is important for any camper in the modern day, and choosing wisely is now made much easier by the internet.

Camping sites broadly fall into two categories – public and private. A public, government run camping site includes the national forests and reserves, land management reserves, and national parks. Private camping sites are developed and owned privately. Both these kinds find ample representation on the internet today with many of them having special offers for internet users.

Public camping sites are the most easily accessible to us. They also offer a large variety of options for camping for beginners. These sites are well maintained, funded by the public’s tax money. They also serve important national purposes and protect national monuments or wildlife. Another important facet of these national camping sites are the uniformity in service that they offer, which in a way, ensures quality treatment at, what are, affordable rates.

The unfortunate this is that even the Web is not big enough to hold information about every camp site there is, and a comprehensive review of camping sites can only be fund about the rather famous and well known ones in your area. There are Web sites that are considered the definitive source for details about particular types of campgrounds by many. In the US, Park Net is thought to be the authority on all National Parks, while Reserve USA takes care of the Army Corps of Engineers and Forest Reserve.

The internet has added immensely to the delight of every camper in the world. Camping for beginners has been made easy and safe with detailed information made available to them, right on their screens.
