Top Tips for Camping
Good Advice for Any Camping Trip
It's what people have been doing for years and one of the best ways to get the family together away from TV's and computer games. Families have been going camping together for generations as it is so simple, inexpensive and can be a real bonding experience. Of course, it's not always easy to get everything together and get going as there is always a lot to organise. Inevitably you will always end up forgetting something important, but here are a few tips on what you should always consider before a camping trip. <br/><br/> Take a Good Knife <br/><br/> One of the most vital things to any camping trip is a good knife. Not just for cooking but also cutting and opening things. A knife is infinitely useful on a camping trip and you will always find yourself in a position where you will need one. <br/><br/> Take a Portable Gas Hob <br/><br/> Yeah I know everyone wants to build their own fire and do thing s the natural way, but you can't always account for the weather and you might find that it is too damp to get a fire started. You don't want to be in a position where you can't cook anything so you'll be thankful of a portable gas hob in the long run. <br/><br/> Bug Spray <br/><br/> Without it, you'll be driven nuts I guarantee it. <br/><br/> Pack Light <br/><br/> Whether it's getting to or from the campsite you don't want to be carrying a large amount of extra weight. Besides, it kind of defeats the purpose of camping, if you've brought everything but the kitchen sink. Only take the essentials as this means less to carry and less that you can lose at the end of the day. The only thing you need plenty of is food and water. <br/><br/> Anti-Bacterial Wipes <br/><br/> Good for sanitising cooking implements and cleaning cuts and scrapes. <br/><br/> More Than One Flashlight and Extra Batteries <br/><br/> You'll often find yourself needing to use the bathroom at night and you don't want to be stumbling around in the dark. Lamping equipment is vital and a head torch is very useful as it leaves your hands free, which is useful for obvious reasons. We're not all masters of survival bushcraft so these little bits and pieces can be very useful. <br/><br/> Use a Checklist <br/><br/> Finally, a checklist will ensure that you don't forget any of these important bits and pieces as well as the other important things that are important to a camping trip. You don't want to forget bacon and sausages for the morning. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>
