10 Camping Tips

Camping is my favorite activity and when it comes to camping you have all kinds of choices.  You can tent camp, base camp, canoe camp, RV camp, tent trailer camp and even back yard camp.  No matter how much camping you do or which type of camping you do there is always something new you can learn.  Here are 10 camping tips  
1.  Get Organized
Organize your gear before you go.  Organize your gear so that the stuff you will need first and most often can easily be accessed.  So for example your tent will be the first thing you need when you reach the campground so put it right at the front where you can grab it quickly and easily

2.  Choose A Campsite
Where ever you will be staying you need to choose a campsite.  Know vehicle patterns in the campgrounds, which sites are sheltered from wind and rain, which sites get the sun.  Then choose a site that works for you.

3.  First Aid Kit
Remember to pack your first aid kit with your camping gear. Everyone in your camping group needs to know where the kit is and how to use it.  Leaving it locked in the vehicle isn’t very smart because you won’t be able to access it in a hurry.  A better plan is to have a designated spot in the tent. 

4.  Pack Your Shovel
Your shovel is one of the most important pieces of camping equipment you’ll take with you.  You can use it to level the ground for your tent, control your camp fire, fill in ruts, and countless other things.  Don’t forget it!  

5.  Choose The Right Tent
The type of tent you choose will depend on how many of you are going camping, what type of weather is expected, and how long you are going for.  The bigger the tent the better.  The extra space allows for you to relax and sprawl out to read your favorite book, or have a game of cards.
