a-frame tents - these are the essentials

Don't you ever crave that break from the big city, smog, and crowds of people? There is always a first time for everyone to enjoy a great camping or hiking trip.

In general, if a higher quality camping tent is needed the more dollars should be allocated. If you are new to camping and have nobody to advise you on how to go about it you could spend sometime browsing through the various books and websites related to camping. If you are going to be backpacking in running shoes rather than hiking boots, you'll want to strengthen your ankles.

For these pursuits, you will need a survival knife or a folding pocket knife. Favorite fruits and veggies that pack well include carrot sticks, celery, raw broccoli and raw cauliflower. There are plenty of foods that you can carry along when you go camping.

It s always good to have a GPS unit with you so that you can avoid getting lost. Multi layered clothing made of wool and cotton is best suited for sudden shifts in temperatures during hiking. Depending on where you are going and how far you are hiking, you may be quite comfortable in a three-season tent.

Nothing is as relaxing as gazing into the hypnotizing flames, so get camping. Now go and sit around a crackling, warm campfire and sing some songs.
