homemade tent heater - stick to the fundamentals

Family camping or hiking are some the most inexpensive vacations available. Do you need these hiking tips?

Locations are available across the country so there is no need to travel great distances to enjoy the outdoors with the whole family. There are some basic preparation and precautions to take when planning a hike. Bring a survival kit and first aid kit.

It does not matter if the wind chill is dipping near zero and a foot of snow covers the ground as long as you can stay warm. Some of the things that you can t do without are good quality hiking gear such as boots and waterproof, lightweight clothing to provide warmth and protection from the elements. There are some sport-wool fabrics that are used in long johns, next a warm layer of clothing that may be a fleece type material and finally a quick-drying outer layer from a material like nylon or goretex.

Our first spring weekend trip took us to a beautiful BC Provincial park. Never use the gas lanterns in the tent. These days I watch my daughters have a blast with family camping tents when we head out for a weekend with Mother Nature.

Be sure the flashlight you purchase is waterproof, corrosion resistant and has a scratch resistant lens. A good buy can ensure that you have a long lasting and dependable flashlight by your side at a very affordable price.
