[P424]Plan A Camping Trip
by Mark Steve, Mar
If we imagine that you have never been camping before, how will you start on with it? Where will you choose to spend your camping trip and how long will your camping tour last? Do you want to own your own camp equipment or do you want to hire your equipment from a retail merchant?

The new camper needs to fix these factors. The expectations that one has in his mind about camping out are the after effect of the films that show camping. If that is the case then you will want to make your camping experience very interesting and exciting. Some individuals will not even think about going camping without the availability of running water and heating provided by a motor home, while others will put up their tents as soon as they find a spot they like.

To enjoy the camping experience some individuals prefer no tent or cover at all and set up a hammock between two trees. Some like to drink out of streams and even eat wild vegetation to create their unique camping out experience. A camping experience is dependent on a person's own interpretation of how he wants his camping experience to be. So no one's idea of camping out is wrong.

When planning a camping venture, you should follow your own camping needs and wants. Maybe your first few camping out experiences won't be managing it all without running water on your camping site. You might not pick roots off the land to eat nature's food, but you will definitely move away from your place of comfort when you go camping out. The preparation of your camping out excursion begins in your mind. You will only imagine how the adventure will go.

Although one may have expectations for camping, one should realize that nothing will always go as planned without a hitch on the first attempt. Also it should be kept in mind that one is not likely to be familiar with the camping tools and utilities that one will be using. One needs to just loosen up and enjoy his camping trip. This way he will really enjoy the trip and so will his family. It will be a wonderful experience.

There are many households who have made a tradition of camping out on holidays, during the summertime, spring breaks and family reunions. It is a great way to bond with family without the intrusion of modern technology and neighbors. It is generally held that children are the most interesting camping enthusiasts; they are always ready to plan for a camping tour. Camping trips are thrilling for children and a great time for them to learn new things. Young people are so adjustable to camping out conditions so if you have a chance to camp with your younger family members, make sure you don not leave the oppurtunity.

If you are planning to spend some time trekking and camping out in the wilderness, there will be some additional camping gear that you will need to take along with you. If your time away is going to be an extended hike through the great outdoors for several days and you plan on sleeping outdoors, there may be other additional items that you may want to consider adding to your backpack. Instead of rushing out and buying your camping gear at the last minute, plan your camping trip ahead and only purchase the camping gear that you will need. This will give you time to shop around for the best quality at the best price.

The amount of camping gear that you will need to take will depend on several factors
1. The length of time you will be away. If it is a short time such as a few days or over night then you will only need a small amount of food and clothing. Cooking can be kept to a minimum. For longer periods away you will have to take more food and better cooking equipment.
2. The time of year is an important consideration. If it is in the summer months then light clothing is all that is required. If it is in the cooler months then you will require heavier, warmer clothing and better rain wear. Remember to always take good quality rainwear regardless of the weather forecast.
3. Are you camping out in the wilderness or are you staying in hikers cabins. This will determine whether you need to carry a suitable tent.
Always remember to share your camping gear between your hiking partners to balance the load.

The most important piece of camping gear that you will need is your backpack. This needs to be large enough to carry everything that you will need for your time away. Do not buy the cheapest backpack but look for the best one that will sit on your back comfortably. Make sure that it is light enough. Most camping store owners will show you how to adjust the backpack to balance the weight correctly. Another tip is to always use a waterproof pack liner. I have yet to find a pack that will not leak from consistent rain.

Take plenty of Food and Water

Never make the mistake of loading all of your food for your trek straight out of your pantry into your backpack, such as tinned items or food in a jar. The best food to take is dehydrated meals. Although these meals may not look too appetizing, they will sustain you and they can be a fraction of the weight. Also make sure you take plenty of water. This is important because you need to stay hydrated during your walk and when you camp there may not be any good quality drinking water.

Never take away large quantities of basic items such as sugar or salt. If you work out what quantity you need for each meal and then double it you will be surprised how little you need. Make sure that all of your camping gear is in water proof containers or plastic bags.

The most important thing is not to pack any unnecessary or heavy items of camping gear that you probably will not use, especially on a short trek away. For those weekend stays away in the wilderness, if you do find something that you left at home, then it doesn’t matter. It is only for a day or two and you can not take everything.
