Camping in cold and cool weather conditions that makes challenges for campers, particularly when it comes to eating and drinking.

These are the few useful guidelines for keeping the body fresh on camping winter season in nature.

# Pack a water bottle inside a backpack, it helps to prevent from freezing. Consider filling the bottle with hot water before it setting out. Screw the lid on tight and pack it upside down. Before you need a drink, hot water will have plenty of time to cool.

# Carry plenty of food, eat often. During winter, a person can burn up to 8,000 calories/day.

# Drink plenty of hot soup and beverages. It loses water on the body through physical exertion and the dry, cold air. The other options of good drinking include instant cocoa, decaffeinated coffee or tea, instant breakfast drinks and fruit flavored drinks. But, avoid the caffeinated drinks which contains the diuretics.

# You should plant meals that boiling, because that food takes longer to cook when you gain altitude.

# Consider toting an extra plenty of stove fuel and stove, and up to 1/2 cup per person in a day. Melting snow can produce drinking water requires a lot of fuel.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said that it will waive day use and Camping fees for active military personnel and Department of Defense Civilians who are on a mid or reintegration leave from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, said on Monday.

The Corps operates almost 2,476 recreation sites nationwide. The waiver applies to all immediate family members who accompanied them on their visit. In order to get the waiver, Department of Defense civilians and active service military personnel on leave must show the identification and leave orders/forms when they arrive at the recreation sites.

The waiver will be applied to day use and fees of camping. It will be walk-up and space available basis of fees, and also for reservations made through the National Recreation Reservation Service Call Center. But, through Recreation.gov, the fees will not be waived for online reservations.

Located on Corps lands such as state, local and other managing entities of recreation areas are encouraged to comply with this free waiver, but not required.

The Williams Ranger District of Kaibab National Forest will offer free-fee camping on Sept. 27 in recognition of National Public Lands Day. Only Sept. 27 will be free for the overnight camping at each of the district’s four campgrounds.

No fee campsites at Kaibab Lake, Cataract Lake, White Horse Lake and Dogtown Lake campgrounds on the Williams Ranger District. The camping will be available on a first come, first served basis. The Camping Free does not apply to reserved and group sites. All campers should be check in with the hosts on each of the campgrounds.

This year marks as the 15th Annual National Public Lands Day event. Today’s goal is to educate Americans about the environmental and natural resource issues, based on interests to build partnerships in restoration of America’s public lands and improve public lands for outdoor recreation.

The Campgrounds on the Williams Ranger District are managed by concessionaries, so there was no requirement to offer camping fee-free. However, Concessionaries Southwest Recreation is affiliated with the Public Lands Interpretive Association, chose to join in National Public Lands Day to allow more people to experience recreating on the Kaibab National Forest.

The busiest season on camping is Summer, plenty of campers who prefer to camp on cold season, and there are some do it in the snow. Every season has its own benefits and attractions to hikers, backpackers, and campers.

What is best for you on camping season?
1.) summer
2.) spring
3.) fall
4.) winter
5.) any season

Police started to enforce a new city law that camping restricted in public parks overnight, possibly more than a hundred people staying at Kapiolani Park. Some homeless sleeping at the park and they’d rather wait and see if the police start evicting people, than move into a shelter.

Homeless people camping overnight in Kapiolani Park face eviction from police. A man who pushed his cart along Kalakaua Avenue at the park yesterday evening. He said “I’m usually not here”. He has been without work and/or a home for about two years. He answered to the police that he recycles trash and helps clean the park by sweeping the sidewalk.

Chuck Mailo, resident in Kapiolani Park for about two months, he moved to Kapiolani Park from Aala Park. He said “it seemed safer. It’s kind of a hard situation, there are lots of people medically disabled. If the police come, he will comply that they need to give home people another place to camp. It’s pretty callous”.

The camping law was passed about a week ago and the authorities delayed enforcing it so the homeless at the park could find another place where they want to stay. The Honolulu Police Department said the camping law may be enforced at any time now. From the news release, the department is not restricting its efforts to any specific locations or parks on the island. The enforcement will be done in a fair and impartial manner.

Darlene Hein, a directory of Community Services fro Waikiki Health Center, she said the focus at Kapiolani Park, where there have been complaints about the homeless living in tents, which appear something like mini-villages in the vast park. She said, more than 100 people live at the park and they has been notifying to help them from Health Center on the law.

Hein said there is a room for homeless people at the Institute for Human Services and in Kakaako Next Step but some homeless don’t want to live in Shelters because of the regulations, scrutiny and crowds. The homeless people said “It’s the sleep we need”.

The Citrus Heights City Council proposed to ban public drinking and camping in the city. The proposed ordinance will be heard at meeting council ’s 7 p.m. at City Hall, 7117 Greenback Lane, hopes Police Department’s anti vagrancy push to add new teeth.

Staff report to the City Council that “In recent months, city residents have complained about unauthorized campsites in the community”. The complaints include concerns about drug and alcohol use, health concerns, unsightly accumulation of bedding and other materials, fire hazards and the presence of drug paraphernalia.

Under the ordinance proposals, the Police Department would have powers to remove unauthorized campsites and arrest or fine those caught drinking in public or in city. An offender could be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of maximum $500 and/or up to six months in jail. According to a memo from Jeff Mackanin, a Citrus Heights Police Lt who heads the department’s community-oriented policing project, banning in the city open containers would reduce “reduce the number of calls for service for police, keep unwanted loitering and drinking away from the parks and other public places”.

If there’s no ordinance, the city police officers have no charge against someone caught drinking in public. The ordinance which the city would dispose of property found at transient campsites in order to head off possible lawsuits from the advocates homeless. According to proposed ordinance, items of value such as jackets, bed rolls and duffel bags would be held by the city for 90 days before being auctioned off or disposed lawsuits.
