The food you bring camping largely depends on how long you will be camping for. A cooler may work for a couple days, but if you’re planning on camping for a while, you may have to do a little more planning so that your food won’t spoil.

For an overnight trip with your car nearby, you have many options for food. With the right equipment, it’s even possible to prepare a dinner similar to what you would make in your own kitchen. A large camping stove can make your camp-site a home away from home. Many prefer to be a little more traditional in camp fire cooking. Load up your cooler with cold drinks, hot dogs, and marshmallows for a dinner that’s fun to prepare. Make sure you remember to bring something to hold your hot dogs over the fire with! Many stores sell prongs for this purpose. An easy alternative is to unbend a wire coat hanger.

**Always prepare for rain! Make sure to have some ready-to-eat snacks in case an outdoor campfire is not possible.

For long trips, keeping food cool may not always be an option. However, that doesn’t mean you have to eat peanut butter sandwiches for a week! Many camping supplies stores sell freeze- dried dinners that are easy to prepare. A camping stove and a pot to boil water in can open a whole new range of foods. Mac and cheese, oatmeal, pita-pizzas (pita topped with sauce, mushrooms, and any other toppings that won’t spoil), hot chocolate, and tea are just a few possibilities.

People who love to travel, enjoy every aspect of traveling. Whether they have to travel by train or travel trailers, they are game for it. Even bus travel is fun for them. And a sea floor cruise is heaven.

Taking children camping is a great way to spend family time and introduce your children to nature. However, keeping your children safe and comfortable is crucial to making your stay enjoyable.

Remember the small things! Make sure children have on bug spray and sunscreen. Although evening is the worst time for bugs, the woods are generally cooler during the day and keep the threat of bugs consistently throughout the afternoon. Make sure you bring anti-itch cream and a basic first aid kit.

It may be easy for you to find your way back to camp, but a large area or many different campsites close together may be confusing for a little one. Make sure your site is well lit and easily identifiable. It may be beneficial to have children assist you in making a “fort sign” or other banner that will distinguish your campsite from the surrounding area.

At night, make sure you can tell if your child leaves the area. An ideal camping situation would be a large family tent, but if this is not an option it is easy to make the openings of two tents face each other for easy access. Even if your child is used to sleeping alone, the noises and unfamiliarity can be scary. Easy access to each other is very important. Make sure your child knows not to wander alone. It may be helpful to have a list of rules posted somewhere as a reminder.

Camping is a great way to bring families closer together and instill adventure into a child. With careful planning, many dangers can easily be avoided.

Coleman stoves are more efficient and look more dazzling when it’s in clean, and in spick and span shape. Proper cleaning and caring for your Coleman stoves would ensure you that it stays in top shape, looking brand new and will reap you benefits including better fuel efficiency, control of flame and absence of rust and oxidization.

Fourth tip: Store your Coleman stove properly after cleaning. Place it inside a plastic bag and seal it so that spiders or other crawling insects that can block fuel and airflow will not be able to crawl their way through the stove. This is also important to keep it dry and prevent rusting of the parts..

Fifth tip: If you have a liquid fuel stove, it is important that you transfer as much fuel as possible from the fuel tank to the fuel can to avoid the build-up of on the fuel tube of the tank. This is necessary to avoid fuel build-up on the fuel tube which can restrict the flow of fuel to the generator and burner.

Sixth tip: Oil the pump cup on the tank’s pump plunger with machine oil at least two times every year to allow the cup to seal against the inside of pump barrel and keep the pump working smoothly.

We just got back from a weekend at Dogwood. Well, kind of a weekend at Dogwood. Sherry had a meeting Saturday morning, so Andy and I went and set everything up on Friday night. As we were setting up, we could hear a marching band nearby. Dogwood is walking distance from Rim of the World High School and they were having a varsity football game against the Diamondbacks (who trounced them 45-7). We enjoyed the game, caught some zees and drove home Saturday morning for a shower and to pick up Sherry.

On our way back up the mountain, we stopped at the huge RV show at the fairgrounds. There was a bunch of cool rigs to drool over, but nothing worth mortgaging the house over. We did spend some money in the accessories tent. We got some gadgets and gizmos and a cool fitted picnic table cover.

We got back into camp in the afternoon and then headed into Blue Jay for groceries and dinner. Because there was a campfire restriction, we decided to spend some time in town before an evening hike around the campground. This is a gorgeous campground that reminds me very much of Sequoia National Park. The Valley Oaks and Cypress trees outnumber the pines. The hookup sites are all pretty nice, but Site 89 has the best combination of level, view, and proximity to flush bathrooms.

One of the things I really like about our trailer is that it was very easy for Andy and I to move it around the campsite to get it just right. In this case, turning the trailer ninety degrees to the front eliminated the slope and oriented the door to the picnic table and campfire ring.

Just before midnight Saturday night, the temperature dropped to freezing and we were getting 40 mph gusts. At dawn on Sunday, Sherry and I walked to the bathroom and watched everyone who was camping in tents packing it up. We lasted a little longer. We ate breakfast burritos as we watched pine cones swirling around in dust devils. We packed it up and were on the road by 9AM.
