camping tents - just like dad used to do it

Camping and hiking are both great ways to spend some time bonding with the whole family. Hiking trips are an adventurous way to take a vacation or a little bit of time out to enjoy nature at its finest, up close.

A camping flashlight is one of the most important tools you will need. Don't pack soft fruits that bruise or spoil easily. Some lanterns have focused and well adjusted illumination from a much lesser light source compared to a big bonfire.

If you don't have to time to visit bookstores, there are an adequate number of online resources like this one where expert campers provide information on the popular locations, things to watch out for like wildlife and snakes, details of the weather and lots of other important beginner camping tips. Once you realize that you are lost, it is time to stop moving.

Another style that can house many people is screen houses. If you are planning a camping trip where wild animals such as bears are known to visit places seeking food, it is advisable to keep your food in a proper storage container where the smell of food is trapped inside. Tucking pant cuffs into socks and boots will protect skin from being exposed to ticks and fleas.

Get out there and try it! You might want to ditch that old tent your father passed along to you, and upgrade to a contemporary one.
