Now is the time of year wear the state parks are bursting with avid campers. Most of these campers will probably go out hunting since it is the season for it. As for me it is pretty cold out there and prefer the fairer weather. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy taking a breath of that cold mountain air. Unfortunately, my years in the military taught me to never leave a warm bed in the middle of a very cold snowy night.
But here are soom good camping tips if your planning to leave sometime real soon.
Safety First!
Always be prepared and make a safety assessment. Properbly the most important is to check the weather conditions. Make a check list of all the important items you need such as knives, fire starters, proper camping tents to handle the current conditions, and other safety gears. A first aid kit is a required piece of camping equipment. These can be found pre made in pharmacies and outdoor sporting goods stores. Rope, a flashlight and waterproof matches are also important. Having a compass available will help in case you get lost and a whistle can help you call for help even if you are fatigued. If leaving the campsite, make sure you bring food and water supplies. This is always a must have for me 
At the Campsite
Make sure you have the proper equipment for camping. Know what sleeping arrangements are and where you will be cooking. If you are using a camper or RV, much of this will be supplied in your facilities but you will need to know any rules for the particular campsite. If you are sleeping outdoors, make sure you have tents and sleeping bags as well as warm clothing. Bring waterproof matches for campfires and cooking. Set up tents according to instruction. Always leave your campsite the way you found it. The best rule of thumb is to make sure it looks like you were never there.
You gotta have GOOD Food
Bring only the cooking utensils and very good propane camping stove that you will need to prepare meals and eat. You will not have a dishwasher and may not have trash bins available. So, make sure you can easily clean and dispose of food items and waste. Bring lightweight, non perishable and easy to cook and clean food items. Canned foods, trail mix, soups and stews are great nutritional meals that are easy to store and carry.
Take head to some of these great tips and most importantly HAVE A GOOD TIME!
