Tips For A Camping Trip

Outdoor camping in Northern Ireland can be a pretty exciting experience. You get to spend quality time away from the hustle of home life and the same old views. Do you want to see a spectacular sight and explore the delights of our country? Sit or lie down under a night sky complete of dazzling stars, they seem close enough to reach out and touch them.

Whether you are planning a short or long trip away, you never know what you are going to run into or what you might need. Let me give you some helpful pointers to planning and packaging for a trip into the wild.

1. You need to find a suitable area in your home and put all of your camping gear in that location prior to packaging. It is best to start this process a few days in advance of your camping trip.

2. Take a good look at your camping gear laid out and take a coffee break when you have everything laid out. Spend some time discussing your outdoor camping list of equipment you wish to bring and double-check it. There may be too many items, so you can streamline your actual requirements for the camping trip.

3. When you are done packing your equipment, the next action must be getting your clothes together. Try to stay away from cotton as it dries fairly slowly and provides little to no insulation when it gets damp.

4. Check all of your camping equipment. Be sure you know how your camp stove works and bring plenty of fuel. Do you lanterns work? Do you have enough batteries? Is your tent water tight?

5. Bring along several nylon bags to store your gear, and remember the water purification tablets and a water bladder in case you are not near a good source of drinking water.

6. Plan your meals ahead of time. You will need to ensure that you have adequate food supplies.

Outdoor camping is a pretty special experience. I hope these pointers will help you to enjoy the benefits of a camping trip.
