Family Camping With The Right Gear

2008-10-27T04:55:00.001-07:00

We have gone tent camping every year forever with my sister and her family. We always camp in State Parks but try to mix it up from year to year. This allows us to see the state cheaply as State Parks are relatively inexpensive. We also try to pick a park near a store, just in case. On our first camping trip, our daughter was 8 months old. The following year, our second daughter was only 2 months old. This year, our third daughter will make her first trip at 3 months old. It's just as easy to mix formula outside as it is to mix it in a hotel room. Camping is a great way to keep that TV off and get your kids outside. It shows kids (and husbands) that there are other things to do that don't require electricity - like hiking, fishing, swimming and just getting to know each other all over again. Happy camping!!

Camping in the rain

2008-10-26T04:57:00.001-07:00

Instead of taking a trip to Cedar Point for the 4th of July weekend we decided to take our 3 boys camping. So I purchased a 15 X 7 Coleman dome tent. We also purchased some camping items we needed such as a Coleman stove, coffee peculator, sleeping bag for me. We also had a small tent for our 10 yr.old twin sons.

I switched on the flashlight to where else it was dripping, the whole tent seemed to be leaking. Everyone's sleeping bag and pillow was damp or soaking wet. I couldn't sleep the rest of the night.

We took the Coleman tent back and exchanged for a smaller more waterproof one. After everything dries apply seam sealer and also spray the tent with silicone spray to help it repel water. Eureaka! Seam sealer! We should have done that the first time. We should have been better prepared for rain. Sometimes you learn the hard way!

One of the best parts of camping can be sleeping under the stars and feeling the cool breeze blow gently through your tent windows. To make sleeping even more comfortable, it is wise to invest in sleeping bags and padding. There are many different styles of sleeping bags, depending on your needs. Conventional sleeping bags that zip up around your chest are one option. There are also mummy style sleeping bags which can zip all the way up and around your head! Both kinds come in many different colors, materials, as well as a wide range of temperature suitabilities. It is good to have mats or padding for beneath your sleeping bag, too. You can get anything from a foam egg crate style pad to a blow up mattress, depending on your needs. At night you can be warm and comfortable with the right gear.

As far as outdoor activities go, there are a wide array of possibilities. Hiking is a sport that many enjoy in the camping world. Terrain and distance vary with the difficulty level of hiking trails. Even on beginner trails, it is best to be prepared. Bottled water is an important provision to bring. Hiking is one of the many forms of exercise in which it is crucial to stay hydrated.

Dry matches, cooking gear and firewood are also important items to have while camping. Many of the aforementioned items you need are very durable and can last you for years of camping fun. Follow these tips and you will make endless wonderful memories while camping.

What was your first tent

2008-10-02T04:08:00.001-07:00

Remember your first tent? Are you kids playing with tents like my kids are? Sure, the tent may only be in the living room. I find it very rewarding to see the same enthusiasm in my kids that I have. I think this is something you should really encourage. Reflect on the great things that have happened as a result of your camping. Now think about all of those great things that lie ahead for your kids. Why not push camping on your kids when they are very young. So, I'll get off my soap box and back on point. The earlier you introduce your kids to camping the more likely that they will stick with the hobby.

Beach camping ideas

2008-09-24T04:05:00.001-07:00

For those who want to enjoy camping and being outdoors, but do not want to run the risk of running into some lions, and tigers, and bears; a great alternative camping location for them to go to would be the beach.

Camping Over Night

For those who want to spend the night on the beach, they should make some preparations ahead of time. Falling asleep on the beach sands only to wake up the next morning with a harsh sunburn is not the best plan. Instead, get a beach tent. Those pop up beach tents start as low as $19. This offers some shelter and protection for those who want to sleep on the beach.

Camping on the beach for a lot of people is not so about the outdoors experience, or hunting for preys. For the most part, is it about enjoying the ambiance and majestic view of the ocean. This is a more tamed and romantic approach to camping.

Stories from the outdoors

2008-09-21T04:04:00.001-07:00

My first time I hiked to a place called Indian cliffs I was hung from a rope. I was about 13 years old. I was camping with the scout in upstate NY. Part of what this troop like to do was repelling. So to make a long story even longer. We hiked to the cliffs learn to tie our own harness. And was asked to turn around and walk down the wall. It was so hard at first but when I let it go it was so great. I have still have a fear but love to do these things till today. See more..

Even though my husband's family had a pop-up camper when he was a kid, we really didn't get into the entire camper thing. Instead, we added time periods and added canvas tents suitable for the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. Non-historic camping now generally involved a cabin, and with a little shopping around or a check of state park sites, we did well by searching for deals. Pennsylvania state parks generally open their campgrounds from March through late December and the state Website offers a wealth of information about the facilities, the park features and the surrounding area. You can find everything from rustic sites accessible only by foot to lodges that will sleep up to 14 people at the state parks.

Swimming Nude While Camping

2008-09-18T04:06:00.001-07:00

Do you like to camp? I sure do. While, one of the best parts of summer camping is swimming Especially in the summer, I just love a dip when I'm out in the woods. I know that there are many ways to enjoy yourself while camping. But, for me, a dip in the water is more refreshing than just about anything else I can think of. So, I say, no matter what the temperature is out there, you need to really consider how wonder that water would feel over your body. Even if you don't I'm sure you will enjoy your camping experience. You're in the woods. That's pretty good!

Camping World For You

2008-09-16T04:03:00.001-07:00

I thought camping without the right gear was a crazy idea. But I've found that, over the years the less concerned I am about having the right the camping gear. In fact, as I've gotten older, my mind has moved away from the gear and more on the experience itself. Perhaps you are going through this too. But, it is more and more just about getting away. The experience itself is what is important to me and I could care less about what I bring with me in the woods. You're probably saying, no kidding. There are tons of people every time I go shopping who seem to be more concerned about the camping gear they bring with them then the experience of camping. Just get out there. Enjoy it.

Definition of Camping

2008-08-26T04:10:00.001-07:00

If you're into camping, you don't think about this much. But what is camping anyway? I'm sure there is a ton of variation. I spent some time pondering this today. For example, some people think of camping as packing up a car and going to a camp ground. Others view camping as an activity where they are not near anyone else for miles and miles. Little kids might think of camping as going in the back yard with a tent. Is there any reason these can't all be camping? I think they are all cool. The bottom line is that they get you outside. If you are interested, go to Caming Wiki I'm sure you will find a ton of interesting things here as well as the definition.
