Making a Camping Supply List

Making a Camping Supply List

 

When you go camping there is a lot to remember to take, especially if you don’t have an RV.  It seems there is so much you will need and many people end up forgetting very important items.  Making a camping supply list is a great way to not only get organized; it will make your packing go a lot smoother as well.

A camping supply list should be broken down into five sections for the best results.  By doing this it’s easier to make sure you don’t forget anything.

  • Bedding – In this section write down anything you need for sleeping.  This could include your pillow, sheets, blanket, cot, sleeping bag, etc.
  • Cooking – On this part of the list you need to break it down into utensils, cookware, storage containers and bags, as well as the food.  In fact you may want to make a separate list for cooking and outdoor kitchen items.
  • Entertainment – Here is where you list items such as games to play around the campfire, skis, fishing equipment, etc.  Anything you use for fun should be in this section of your camping supply list.
  • Bath – The bath list includes things like toilet paper, soaps, toothpaste, rags, towels, etc.
  • Misc. – You need a miscellaneous list for things like bug spray, shovel, broom, rope, and tools.

Thinking of your camping supplies in this methodical way will be something you will find yourself doing every trip once you try it.  There are just too many items to remember off the top of your head, so don’t put yourself through that stress anymore.

If you travel in a RV of some kind you still need to write the list down and then check off the items you already have stored in your RV.  You could even stock your RV with foil, toilet paper, and other items as soon as you return home from your current camping trip.  You will be cleaning out the RV anyway so why not have it stocked and ready for the next trip.

Camping should be fun and stress free, so be sure and try making a camping supply list before your next outing and see how easy getting it all together can really be.

Family Camping Trips

Family Camping Trips

 

Families love taking camping trips and experiencing fun activities in the outdoors, but sometimes deciding where to go can be a big problem.  Many people find themselves going to the same places year after year and even though they have a great time they are missing out on some family camping trips that could be life changing events.

So how do you find these great places for family camping trips?  It’s actually very easy because there hundreds of places mentioned online for campers to travel to.  Here are two simple ways you can find these great places online listed below.

  • Recreation.Gov – This particular website is for campsites located in the United States and you will be able to find out not only the places to go but what permits you need, how much they cost, and what activities are available.  You can even get a map at this site showing you exactly how to get there.

 

  • Woodalls.Com – This is another great site where you can not only search for great camping sites you can become a member of their Diamond club for free.  As a member you will receive their newsletter, discounts, and special offers that pertain to camping.  They also sell books that list camping sites if you would like to have one to carry in your RV or vehicle. Most avid campers know that Woodall’s is a name you can trust when it comes to camping information.

Camping is not just about boating, fishing, or hunting, it’s about seeing different places in the world.  When you try different camping sites each year you can get a taste of the different types of countryside that you would have never gotten the chance to see otherwise.  Nature is a beautiful thing with so many types of trees, flowers, and animals.  Isn’t it time you and your family got to experience these wonders together?

For the most fun with your family choose some camping places that offer many activities.  For example, some camp grounds have amphitheaters where outdoor plays or music is performed at different intervals.  If you haven’t been to Texas you might want to go to Glen Rose State Park.  They still have some dinosaur tracks you can look at.  Choose your next vacations spot well and have some really great family camping experiences

The Most Important Camp Tool

The Most Important Camp Tool

Going camping is sometimes like moving because it seems there are so many items you have to remember to take along. Making a camping check-list will help you with this task, so when you make it be sure and put the most important camp tool on it. What is the most important camp tool? It’s the shovel! You can purchase a small fold-up shovel if you don’t have room to carry a full-sized one.
The shovel is a versatile tool that everyone needs in their outdoor camp. Even if you travel in style, in an RV, you still need to take a shovel along for those nights you want to sit outside around a campfire. The shovel can be used for making a fire pit, digging a latrine, moving hot coals, and helping to control drainage if it rains. Rain can make a big mess and get inside your tent if you don’t have some kind of drainage ditch for it to flow down, and having a shovel on hand can save the day. And, if you are camping in an area where there are bears, you may want to burry your cooking trash for safety.
Most campers today don’t make their own latrine anymore but if the shovel was only used to help with the fire it’s worth taking. Cooking in the coals of a good fire is something that is easy to do so put some meat and potatoes in foil and use the shovel to cover them with hot coals. In 30 minutes you will have a great meal without expending much effort at all. Be sure to cover the hot coals and fire with dirt when done to prevent a brush or forest fire. Helping to preserve our camping sites is up to all of us!
Although the shovel is the most important and versatile camp tool you should also take along a rake and other tools like a hammer, screwdriver, nails, and a wrench. You may never have to use all of them but being prepared will help you sleep a lot easier. Remember the Boy Scout motto? A Boy Scout is always prepared and you should be too.
Enjoy your next camping trip and remember to take along the most important camp tool, the shovel.

Making a Camping Checklist

Making a Camping Checklist

So, you’re going camping. Great news, but did you make your camping checklist? If you didn’t make a camping checklist you may end up being sorry you didn’t. A camping checklist is what makes your camping trip successful and not frustrating. For example, you caught some great bass this morning and they have been cleaned and are ready for the frying pan. You get the seasoning, the pan, and the oil out….no wait… there is no oil! Oh man, you left the oil at home and there is no store for 25 miles. Does this sound familiar? How many times have you gone camping and left something at home you should have brought on the trip? Camping is a lot like Santa Clause; so if he is making a list and checking it twice, maybe you should too!
Many things go on a camping checklist but below is a list of things that many people forget, so be sure and add them to your list.
• Can opener
• Cutting board
• Plastic forks, knives, spoons
• Pot holders
• Whisk broom
• First-aid kit
• Camera
• Matches
• Screwdrivers and wrenches
• Water bottle or canteen
• Compass
• Map
• Pillows
• Sharp Knife
Your list will be a lot longer of course, but these are the items people forget the most often. There is nothing worse than having a sack full of canned goods and no can opener or knife to get the lid off. You may need to start a fire and you have no cigarette lighter or matches to get it started. This means no food to eat unless you like it raw. It’s the little things forgotten that can ruin a great trip in a hurry!
Start your camping checklist by making a list for what you need for sleeping, another list for what you need for cooking, and another list for around the camp and fun activities. Making a camping checklist is one way to insure you have a great time with great food so be sure and take an extra 30 minutes to make one before you pack up the car or RV. You will be so glad you did!

Setting Up Your Outdoor Camp

Setting Up Your Outdoor Camp

Setting up your outdoor camp takes a little thought and work, even if you are travelling with an RV. You want your camp to be safe and it doesn’t hurt if it looks nice either. There are a few things you should always take along on every camping trip to help set up your outdoor camp. Those items are a hammer, nails, rake, and whisk broom.

Long handled Rake

The rake is for clearing off the grounds where your main camp will be, or for clearing a level spot of ground where you want to place a tent. Some campsites have leaves, wood debris, and other things that need to be removed for a safe camp. Many insects and even snakes have been known to hide among wood and leaves, so it’s best to clear the ground first and then continue setting up your outdoor camp. If you run across any of those things you will be glad you are at the long end of a rake instead of picking up things with your hands!

Hammer and Nails

The hammer and nails can be used for many unexpected things like making a clothesline in the trees, or helping to hold up a tarp as a privacy partition. You will find many uses for these two items so don’t forget to take them along.

Whisk Brook

Camping supplies,a whisk broom, or a full size broom if you have room, is a real necessity. It’s great for brushing cobwebs and spiders off of campsite grills or the legs of an old picnic table. Spiders and ants love to crawl on these things so making sure they are all swept clean before you or your children sit down is imperative.

Although not mentioned, in the list for setting up your outdoor camp, you might want to include some basic tools on that list. You never know when something is going to break, so having a few tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches might come in handy as well.

Once you get the ground free from leaves and branches it’s time to set up the rest of your outdoor camp. When doing so think out a plan of where you want everything before you start. When camping outdoors it’s nice to have everything in a convenient place. The goal is to make your trip as easy as possible so you have more time for fun activities.

Getting your outdoor camp completely set up should only take about an hour unless you are putting up a large tent, so take your time and do it right the first time. Setting up a proper outdoor camp is a great way to start your camping vacation.
