A Few Tips for Camping Newbies.
A little forethought and organization will payoff in a great
memorable adventure for that next outdoors excursion you may
have planned.
*Depending upon your adventure [ hiking/canoeing/car camping ]
don't take along every thing including the kitchen sink, that's
why you go camping in the first place; to get away from it all
!.......but always allow for the worst thing that could happen
because sometimes it will; freezing cold, sick kids,pouring
rain,insect pests,strong winds can all spoil a great time if you
are not prepared for the worst and always take along the
sunscreen/hat and mozzie repellent.
*If you need to travel light you may be better off carrying food
types that don't need to be cooked; the midday meal should be
quick and easy for everybody especially with canoeing activities
etc and keep the cooking for around the campfire or portable
stove at night; try to minimize the eco impact and keep to the
established cooking areas.[ be aware of fire bans ]
* Make sure you have all the requisites for a good nights sleep
like a mosquito net,mosquito coils and a quick fill air mattress
or pad, nothing worse than a bad nights sleep.
*Be eco friendly and take your rubbish away with you unless
there are rubbish facilities available and when going to the
toilet if you need to dig a hole, make it nice and deep and away
from the beaten track;think of your fellow campers.
*Always be considerate of fellow campers,don't smoke out your
neighbours with your camp fire or camp too close and keep the
noise down to a minimum as we all enjoy a quiet nights sleep and
a little privacy , if you must use a generator for electricity
be mindful of the eco impact of both noise and spillage of fuels
and oils.
*At packup time your camp site should look as if you were never
there;make sure your gear is packed correctly , nice and dry,
otherwise you will need to dry it out when you get home ,
because any damp material gear will get smelly and mouldy and
possibly rot away .
*Obviously these notes are only a very broad outline....but you
have to start somewhere........
