Before you set off into the woods, make sure that you have a pack prepared with food like energy bars or trail mix to keep you moving, plenty of water, dry, protected matches, a space blanket to keep you warm and to signal for help during the day, an LED flashlight or LED lantern for use at night, a compass, and the best survival knife that you can find or afford. Camping and hiking both have there pros and cons.
There are some things that may crawl inside your sleeping bag, but you will also want to take some time to look a the gear each time before use so that you can make sure that you are safe. Although some indoor rock climbers do not ever make the step into outdoor climbing, indoor climbing gyms provide learning and practicing venues for those planning on taking it outdoors. It does not matter if the wind chill is dipping near zero and a foot of snow covers the ground as long as you can stay warm.
You need warm, but flexible clothing while camping. If travelling with children, teach them to do the same and remain calm if they get lost. Never leave a candle that is burning in your tent unattended and never fall asleep with a burning candle or a burning lantern in your tent.
There are many types of camping to choose from, depending on your budget and taste for roughing it. When winter camping make sure to bring food that may be eaten without heating up.
