The Summer Adventures : Camping Essentials

If the smoldering heat is bothering you, better make some plans for some quality time spending with family or friends. A camping trip on the nearest national park, official camp sites, or wild camping is another activity you can enjoy. Bonding with nature to cool off your head and release some pent up stress through fishing and other calming or even exciting recreation are some of the things you can do.

Readiness

While we mentioned that you should be aware of the weather, announcements on the location along with who you are going with in our previous posts. Here are some additional things you should consider.

Availability – Make sure camping is allowed in your chosen location. Some areas have designated camping zones for your safety and to protect the local wildlife

Rules and regulations – Campfires on some location are banned. Check with the local authorities or management.

Wildlife Awareness – Being aware that there could possibly be bears or aggressive birds in the area you should prepare for these wildlife animals
- Don’t feed wild animals. Doing so can encourage them to approach campsites, which may lead to dangerous encounters for both you and the animals
- Store your food in lockers or containers or wild animals like bears can trace it back to your camp
Waste Management – If you need to dispose of trash in the area, ensure it’s biodegradable and eco-friendly. Ideally, take your waste with you to minimize environmental impact.

Gear

As with any adventure, a backpack or backpacks is essential. It would be hard to survive or enjoy if carrying all your supply and equipment with just a shopping bag. While that is still possible.
