You can get the most of your camping trip with some preplanning that will make the experience more comfortable
Anything that gives you a good night’s sleep is worthwhile. For better rest, try sleeping on a self-inflating air mattress rather than a sleeping bag.
A tasty meal can enhance the enjoyment of any endeavor, so put some thought into planning the best meals possible. If you’re backpacking, you can have a hot meal with freeze-dried food.
Otherwise, imagine how good a juicy steak would taste grilled over hot coals. Likewise, some freshly-caught fish, coated with meal and fried in a skillet with a pat of butter, will taste amazing.
Camping Cooking Gear
Make the trip memorable with good times by the campfire. Pack the fixings for hot dogs and s’mores, and bring along a guitar.
Keep safe by listening to weather reports and seeking shelter when needed. In addition, bring along a first aid kit, cell phone, pocket flashlight, compass, a handheld GPS and a map.
Always let someone know where you’re going and when to expect you back. Take along plenty of water, and don’t go on a hike without carrying water bottles.
