Checklist for Campers


By Milly at 2009-07-09 23:58:42
Camping is an outdoor recreational activity with about as many meanings as there are campers. This means we use our time to relax doing what we like and resting our mind and body. That pretty much sums it up. Learn many tips for camping from experts. Whatever your reasoning and rationale for going camping it can lead you in many directions to many places.



There are many styles that campers may choose. You may prefer one or all of these or even some of your own. The basic styles are:


1. Backpacking - combines camping and hiking.

2. Beginning Campers - Beginner Campers and Tent Camping.

3. Canoe camping - includes a canoe trip to your campsite.

4. Car camping - a car is used for transportation to your campsite.

5. Tent camping - a tent is used for shelter.

6. Pop-Up campers - a trailer that expands similar to a tent.

7. Trailer camping - a trailer towed behind a vehicle.

8. RV camping - a self contained and self propelled.


Your camping experience and ability will influence your planning and in selecting a location where to go camping. Many campgrounds have campsites with facilities such as fire rings, barbecue grills, restrooms and utilities such as water and electricity. These are ideal for families and occasional campers but are less challenging for the more experienced adventurer looking to exercise their survival skills and techniques to venture into uncharted wilderness.A camping holiday can be a wonderful experience for the whole family. These tips from the experts should ensure you have a camping holiday to remember, rather than one you'd like to forget.

1. Try and set up camp in daylight — you’ll avoid unpleasant surprises like ants’ nests.

2. Pick a spot protected from the wind by using a line of trees, scrub or the lee of a hill as a windbreak.

3. Level, firm ground is important but don’t select the lowest ground because water will pool there when it rains. Avoid dried mud — these are the first places to get boggy when it rains.

4. Position your tent so you sleep with your head higher than your feet. (Don’t scoff — you’d be surprised how many people make this mistake!)

5. Don’t camp under trees with large boughs, especially gums. Often called ‘widow makers’, they tend to snap in strong winds and lightning strikes.

6. Set up a sun shelter by rigging a tarp off the side of your tent. This is also a good rain shelter, provides extra cooking space and a place to leave gear.

7. In rain, use a tarp as a second fly. You can also use a tarp underneath your tent as an extra moisture barrier. In heavy rain, dig a small trench on the high side of your tent to divert run-off.

8. If camping on a beach, avoid unprotected headlands or sand dunes. Find a sheltered spot out of the wind behind shrubs and trees or in a dune.

9. Pay attention to warning signs about wildlife such as crocodiles or poisonous marine life.

10. In mountains, don’t camp on ridges or saddles between peaks — they can be exposed and dangerous. Use protected sites such as rocky platforms, ledges and river terraces.
