1. What Is Camping?
Camping is an outdoor recreational activity, in which the campers get away from civilization and enjoy nature while spending one or more nights at a campsite. They may use a tent, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all. Camping as a recreational activity became popular in the early 20th century. Campers frequent national parks, other publicly owned natural areas, and privately owned campgrounds. Camping is fun, and easy. Common sense and a little knowledge will get you started. The rest is up to you. Do your homework, be prepared, and enjoy the great outdoors.
2. How to choose a perfect campsite?
consider several things when choosing your campsite
· Choose a level and shaded site
· The site should have good drainage in case of wet weather
· The restroom and bathing facilities are within a reasonable distance
· A water supply is nearby
· Where do you dispose of garbage
· How close to the recreational facilities--pool, playground, store etc.
· Consider the layout
o Is the site large enough to meet your needs?
o Where will you put your tent(s)?
o What area will you use for meal preparation and cooking & what about your picnic table?
o How about your campfire and wood piles?
o Is there an area for activities?
o Where do you park your car?
3. What Gear Do I Need?
Camping is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors. If you are new to camping, the first thing you should do is become familiar with the basic camping gear that you will need. One way is to go camping with a seasoned camper. You can quickly learn from them. Basically, you need a shelter, which could be a tent, cabin, or RV, and you need a bed, which could be a combination of sleeping bags and pads, cots, air mattresses, and comforters, and you need to eat, which may or may not require cooking utensils etc.
4. What Type of Tent Is Appropriate?
· Determine the Purpose of the Tent
o If being used for family camping--consider comfort, space and ventilation
o If backcountry camping--consider weight, size and durability
· Determine Type of Material
o Polyester withstands extended exposure to the sun
o Nylon is lighter weight
o Canvas is durable but very heavy
· Determine the Style
o Cabin tents are big with high ceilings and large windows. Multi-room models are available.
o Dome tents are smaller, stable and better in varying weather conditions. They are easy to setup and take down
· Determine the Size and Weight
o What type of activity
o How many people
o How much gear to store in tent
o Tent sizes do not include room for gear storage. Consider purchasing a larger tent for this purpose.
· Consider Ease of Setup
o Color coding is helpful
· Consider the Poles
o Quality is important
o Fiberglass poles are durable
o Aluminum poles are lightweight
· Consider Quality of Other Features
o Stitching and seams
o Zippers
o Window and Door mesh
o Flooring
o Tie
o Stakes
· Consider the Weather
o Waterproof/water resistant
o Use a full coverage rain fly
· Consider a quality ground cloth for under your tent to protect the floor and to keep it drier and cleaner. This should be the same shape as your tent and slightly smaller.
5. How Do You Choose a Camping Sleeping Bag and Mat?
Making a bed at the campground is easy. A sleeping mat or air mattress is often placed underneath the sleeping bag for cushioning from stones and twigs as well as for insulation from the ground. First you need to have some type of padding to cushion you from the hard ground. There are inflatable mats and various closed-cell mats that work quite well. On top of the mat you'll place your sleeping bag. If you are camping in warm weather you will only need a basic sleeping bag, a lightweight rectangular sleeping bag will do. But if you will be winter camping, you’ll need some of the more advanced features.
6. What other Campground Supplies should be included while camping?
A portable stove to prepare hot meals and/or drinks where campfires are forbidden or impractical; A backpack for storing several essential food and gears; A lantern or flashlight; A water container for filling some water while hiking and taking adventures; A folding chair or folding table for relaxes in the open air; A hatchet, axe or saw for cutting firewood (where allowed; see campfire) or constructing camp gadgets; Ropes and tarps for stringing clotheslines, sheltering dining areas, and other purposes; A compass and binocular for directing the way etc.
Some campers may prepare food by cooking on a campfire, sometimes using such equipment as a Dutch oven . Much of the remaining needed camping equipment is commonly available in the home, like dishes, pots and pans. Lists of what to take are available in many camping books and websites. Many people opt not to use their home items but equipment better tailored to camping, such as heavy plastic tableware and salt and pepper shakers with tops that close to keep out rain. Backpackers use special lightweight and highly portable equipment.
