Winter Camping
Camping in the winter requires the camper to have an amazing amount of courageousness based on the various conditions you are bound to face when camping in the great outdoors during winter, particularly the sometimes icy temperatures, and unpredictable weather.A good number of people still enjoy going camping when the weather is atrocious in the winter because of the added excitement of having to brave the rigorous winter weather, it becomes a so-called “adrenaline rush” to be out in the wilderness when the weather is wild. It is called “Extreme Camping” and has grown in popularity over the years as people seek out more and more inventive ways to get fulfill the desire in their lives to be adventurous and live life on the edge.If you do decide to go camping during the cold winter months, Here are a couple of ideas that might make those long, cold nights under the stars more bearable.The first thing you should do is linked with the second thing, which is to buy a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag. I listed the pad first because no matter what awesome sleeping bag you might buy, you’re not going to be warm after the temperature drops below thirty since the ground will suck the warmth right out of you. Even the greatest of sleeping bags need loft (the space inside the bag that holds in your heat, aided by the use of various insulation materials), and when the bag is being squashed beneath you, there is nothing to keep your hard-earned warmth inside. The sleeping pad should be the number one concern of cold-weather campers! Luckily, there are a couple of types to choose from. The first is the closed-cell kind made of foam, which can be rolled up or folded into a rectangle, depending on the style. You should carry one of these whenever you go hiking or camping, because not only do they do a great job in insulating you from the ground, but they can also have a variety of uses in backcountry emergencies. The other type of sleeping pad is the inflatable type, and though it is more comfortable than the foam, it can also get punctured and be rendered completely useless. Most likely this will happen the afternoon preceding the coldest night of your trip, but only if you forget the repair kit or duct tape.The sleeping bag will reflect your budget’s limitations, but usually, you can buy yourself something that will work well enough, as long as you don’t get too ambitious with the projected temperatures of your camping trip. What to look for in a sleeping bag will be explained in more detail in a subsequent chapter, so stay tuned, but for now, I’ll assume you’ve got something that will do a reasonable job in keeping you warm.I think that a lot of people make the mistake of not changing their clothing before they crawl into their icy sleeping bags. I don’t just mean shirts and pants, but underwear and socks as well. It all has to be completely new, or else you’ll find yourself shivering miserably well before sunrise. During the day, you sweat whether you realize it or not, and this moisture will rob you of your body heat as the night goes on and your temperature falls slightly with sleep. Keep a separate change of clothing for sleepwear and allow it to dry out the following day so that it’s completely dry for the next night of camping. Avoid cotton whenever possible! If dry clothing, a decent sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad don’t do the trick, then it’s time to move on to other options. When you are camping in temperatures around the mid-20’s, A good tip would be to boil some water right before you go to bed and would make some hot chocolate in your thermos. That way, if you woke up cold, you would have a ready-made hot drink to sip, which would warm you right up and help you get back to sleep. The sugar did its part as well, and if you didn’t feel like boiling water, you should just bring some hard candies and eat one whenever you start getting cold. It’s amazing what a little sugar can do!When all else fails, you should heat up water and pour it into a sturdy water bottle. Don’t use the flimsy plastic type of water bottle, as this will hurt a lot when the plastic melts! You should put your good water bottle into a wool sock and lay it next to your neck, or on your stomach. The heat can last for hours.Something to remember when trying to stay warm on a cold night is that if you need to go to the bathroom, then go! It will actually warm you up since your body is expending a lot of energy to keep urine warm, so no matter how little you want to get out of your sleeping bag into the biting air, just do it and get it over with. You’ll ultimately be more comfortable. This means that if you’re going to have a warm drink, consume it an hour before you intend to go to bed. You’ll decrease the chance that you’ll have to make a midnight visit to the outhouse. Check out our latest articles here Refer to original article at Winter Camping
Summer Camping
Summer Camping is a strong trend that shows that camping is always peaking in popularity during the summer season. This peak in popularity comes down to a few important reasons;Firstly, Not only are kids out of school for a couple of months with nothing to do but the weather is exceptional. You can participate in a lot of different activities during summer as the weather pretty much allows you to do whatever pleases you. Whether it is playing golf or tennis, whether it is hiking or swimming, the summer months are the absolute best time to get outdoors and do these activities while camping. Another advantage of camping in summer is the longer days. As the tilt of the earth brings more hours of sunshine during summer so are the days longer. With the days being longer comes the benefit of being able to fit more in a day. So more time enjoying the different activities that come during the longer days,and even the nights are clear. Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks when camping in summer. One of the more considerable ones is an availability of sites. In summer, campsites and campgrounds are noticeably more difficult to reserve a spot which means that booking prior to leaving is vital to your overall camping experience.Another drawback of summer camping is the heat inside a tent, If you were to step into a tent during the day in summer it would be sometimes over 100 degrees. Making it impossible to stay in for more than a few minutes. When considering going camping in summer, It is important to be physically prepared for summer camping. Constant exposure to the sun can often lead to heatstroke, sunburn and even severe dehydration which means staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is absolutely essential along with protecting yourself from the heat using sunscreen. As an important rule: Remember the 3 S's (Slip, Slop, Slap)Slip- Slip on a t-shirt. Remember to cover up during the times of 11 am and 2 pm as these are when the sun is at its strongest.Slop- Slop on some sunscreen. Make sure to apply sunscreen to any exposed areas to avoid being sunburnt. Getting burnt by the sun is one of the more easier ways to develop melanoma skin cancer, so make sure to use sunscreen.Slap- Slap on a hat. Always wear a hat to protect your head from the sun Another piece of advice to consider is taking insect repellent. Insect repellent should be a part of your camping supplies as spending time outdoors means exposure to nature's pests, particularly mosquitoes. Here are some additional tips to make for a better summer camping experience: Bring lots of water to stay hydrated. Try to avoid hiking and being overly active during extremely hot temperatures. Stay in the shade if possible and don't expose yourself to the sun for too long. Refer to original article at Summer Camping
