Best Outdoor Camping Tips and Tricks

Looking for the best outdoor camping tips and tricks? Well you have arrived. I have been camping, a lot in my life and you tend to pick up little things that make a big difference. So here are my tips on camping, and have fun while doing it.

I don’t know about you, but if I am just winging it, I tend to forget a lot of things that would have made my camping experience more enjoyable.

Like bug, spray for instance, I never think about bug spray. Well at least not until it is too late and I am getting attacked by mosquitoes. That doesn't make a good nights rest.

Some things to remember to add to your camping trip checklist are tent, bug spray, sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights, matches, plates, forks, food, toilet paper, marshmallows, clothing, first aid kit, flash light and an air mattress or sleeping pad.

2. Build a campfire right

Building campfires is a must. Just picture yourself and your loved ones sitting around telling ghost stories, roasting marshmallows or just enjoying each other’s company. Let's build that fire, istead of losing 20 matches and finally giving up and pouring gas on the fire, learn to build it right.

The first thing a fire needs to start is something that catches on fire very easily. Timber or small pieces of wood can be used for this; small twigs can also work well. Another thing that is very good at starting the fire is dryer lint. Not many people think about dryer lint, but it works! Hope these best outdoor camping tips and tricks will help you on your successful campfire.

Once the fire has started build it up by putting larger pieces of wood on the fire until it has grown. Also remember once your fire has started; NEVER leave it unattended. That is how forest fires start.

3. Bring Plenty of Food and Water

The more food and water you have the better. You don’t want to be eating the whole time, but you don’t want to be starving either. Some food to take camping with you include: beef jerkey, cheese, salami, crackers, fruit, and trail mix. Who can forget those memberable hot dogs over a roasting fire? Chicken is also good, but keep it in the iced cooler.

When camping water bottles are a must, so make sure you stack up beforehand.

4. Bring Entertainment

Camping is a time when you are suppose to relax and become one with nature, but you are going to be sitting up their looking at your toe’s if you don’t have something better to do. Bring something to do.

If you play an instrument, bring it and have everyone else sing along. A deck of cards and board games is also a must bring.

5. Bring a camera

Nature is beautiful, make sure you have something to capture your experience, you’ll thank me later.
