Tips And Advice To Prevent Disaster While Camping

 

TIP! Always locate your shelter before dark when you are camping. After the night falls, pitching a tent, locating firewood and making food can be difficult. If you have never enjoyed the wonderful experience of camping out, you are definitely missing out. Nothing beats going out to live in nature with others for a few days. If you want to camp, then now is the time, more than ever, to get to it. Pitch Black TIP! Though you may believe that there will be sufficient wood lying around for your fire, you may only be able to find wet lumber that does not easily burn. It’s a great idea to carry your own wood with you and to keep it secure in a dry area. Search out shelter before the sun sets when you are camping.

Did you know that dryer lint can make great kindling to get a campfire started? Start collecting it in advance of your trip. Keep a simple plastic or ziplock bag near your dryer to make collecting easier. Take a first-aid class, especially if children are camping with you. In an emergency, your first aid training could be the difference between life and death. Make sure you do the proper research. Knowing about the native species in your camp area, such as snakes or other dangerous animals, is essential. TIP!
