camping tent southern california

You may be miles away from home so make sure you prepare for your camping or hiking trip. When planning for your camping trip, check for the basic necessities and do away with the oddities.

Irrespective of the duration of your trip, you should ensure that your camping gear has the essential items packed away and easily accessible during the trip. Judging by the many accessories in today's RV's, roughing it may not mean the same as it did years ago. Cotton does not dry quickly and retains the water against your skin causing you to become even colder with the added risk of hypothermia developing, so don't wear it on damp days.

Favorite fruits and veggies that pack well include carrot sticks, celery, raw broccoli and raw cauliflower. Rope, tarp and sleeping bags will be necessary especially if you are camping out. If you're unsure, try a few beginners' trails in different areas and decide what you like about each and dislike.

Now go and spend some time hiking in nature. You might want to ditch that old tent your father passed along to you, and upgrade to a contemporary one.
