Camping Tips

Even an experienced camper, will always find a few things that he forget or wished he'd bring along. So, the first thing to do when you get home, after a long hot shower, is to troubleshoot your camping experience and write a list of things that you will need for next camping trip.

Plan all your meals before you leave, making a list of every ingredient you'll need. This way you won't forget anything, and you'll be sure to bring the right amount of food.

Put your food in the car or in a lidded box at night or whenever you leave the campsite in order to keep the forest animals out of your food supply.

If hiking-in camping, bring along a burlap bag and rope. Use the burlap bag to store your food and use the rope to tie and secure it from a branch at least 10 feet high and ten feet out, away from the trunk of the tree to keep animals away from your food supply.

Mosquitoes and biting flies are attracted to dark colored clothing so wear light colors. Light colors are also cooler in the summer time.
