Getting ready for camping

Almost Everyone loves camping. When you camp, you must be as comfortable as you can, because if not you will end up crying. Camping is not a kid's stuff so all children must be accompanied by an adult ,but nevertheless, you must be able to handle all things by yourself. If you have never camped before, you may be worried you'll be missing something important when you arrive at your camping destination. To be honest, it happens to all of us sooner or later. The weather turns cold and we remember we should have brought extra clothes. Now we are almost ready to camp, let us start to the most important tools, waterproof matches and lighter, pocket knives, toilet paper, flashlight, spare batteries and bulb, maps and compass or GPS if you have, a durable rain gear, extra clothing and most of all insect repellent if you have any mosquito net then bring it also. Most importantly plan your meals before leaving home, and make a list of all food items you'll need using your menus as a guide. Make sure you do not bring any canned foods, this is camping so better make some foods out of nature, like go fishing or catch some birds in the forest, and that will be exciting.

Some campers like bring outdoor meals like beef jerky, biscuits and other junk foods, while others prefer not to cook at all, if you do not want to cook then it is not camping at all, it's just a luxurious outdoor. Always be prepared just in case something unexpected happens by having on hand a tool kit that includes a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers and wrenches; a repair kit that contains such things as duct tape, wire, nylon twine, superglue and rope. You can buy this stuff in the hardware find the smallest and lightest if possible. Do not forget to bring a first aid kit and never bring unnecessary things, because too much is not always good. If you are ready and all packed up then take a long sleep before the camping day so you will not feel slumpy and tired. Never forget that pocket knife, just like the TV series McGyver, your life depends on that little thing.
