Planning A Camping Trip? What You Need To Know To Make It A Success

Lots of people view camping as a perfect escape from the daily grind. Without proper planning and
preparation, your trip can turn into a disaster. The following advice will help you make sure your
camping adventure is enjoyable.

When you're camping, always look for shelter prior to dark. It can be hard to set up camp when
it's dark outside. This is especially true if you are an urbanite whose sight is not used to the
pitch dark. Do whatever you can to make sure that you find a safe location for your tent and pitch
it before you find yourself in this sticky situation.

Expect that camping is not typically a time you can stay clean easily. Setting the proper
regulations in advance can help to combat this. Enjoy the outdoors and get down and dirty. After
all, you can be normal at home.

Bring a survival kit on the trip and keep it on your person all the time. This kit should include
water-purifying tablets, a first-aid kit, flare gun, survival knife and waterproof matches. This
kit may keep you alive if you are lost and these items are indispensable for a survival situation.
It is important that you carry your survival kit with you at all times.

Make sure your survival kit is available on a constant basis. Your survival kit needs to have
water-purifying tablets, a type of survival knife, a first-aid kit, a flare gun, and waterproof
matches. These are essential items for your survival if you ever get lost. Never leave the kit
behind, even for a short excursion.

As you plan your camping adventure, take children aside and go over common dangers and issues they
may encounter. Get online with them and show them what poison ivy, poisonous snakes, and other
dangers look like. This will help your kids know what to avoid when exploring.

Oranges are great for camping since they're healthy, easy to eat, and they also keep mosquitoes
away. After you have eaten the orange, rub the peel onto exposed body parts and this will repel
any blood-sucking bugs.

When you reach your campsite, pitch your tent on the softest, most level ground you can locate. If
you pick a spot that is rocky or has a slope to it, you will be uncomfortable when you are inside
your tent. Always lay a tarp down first to prevent water from entering or damaging the tent.

Always become familiar with the potential dangers of a campsite before you enter it. This includes
knowing the area's deadly spiders, what the terrain is like, and whether flash flooding is
possible or not. All camping spots have some dangers associated with them and you want to make
sure you pick a spot that isn't too bad.

If you pet is accompanying you on your camping trip, then be sure to keep them leashed and under
control at all times. A lot of people have a fear of dogs. Take others into consideration when you
camp if you bring a dog. Also, dogs can damage your campsite or another person's campsite if
they're not watched carefully.

Trail mix is a classic snack and for a good reason. Throw a little beef jerky, a few fruits, and
you've got yourself a full camper's meal. You may find yourself too tired to prepare food and
these nutritious snacks could be very satisfying. Such foods will also remain edible for quite
some time, so they will not go to waste if you don't eat them up on your trip.

Hopefully, this information has provided you with advice that will will make your camping trip
much more easy and enjoyable. Apply what you have learned here, and have the most wonderful time
enjoying your next camping adventure.
