For many people, summer is just not summer without taking a weekend camping or hiking trip. Sure, you want to carry just about everything when you are packing for a camping trip.
If there is an accident or mishap along the way, there will be more people to assist if you are camping or hiking with a group. A camping flashlight is one of the most important tools you will need. Pack tents and sleeping gear so you can gather around the fire and cook a great meal while telling ghost stories or playing games.
Changes in weather challenge your mental ability to plan in advance, improve, problem solve, and navigate, while physically challenging your physical conditioning and climbing skills. Be careful about not eating too much salty foods when doing heavy hiking in high heat or desert areas though, because you can become dehydrated more quickly. Rescuers will begin to look for you where you were last known to be, so wandering farther away could delay a successful rescue.
In the case of having a good number of campers like four to nine people, family camping tents should be chosen. Never use the gas lanterns in the tent. Some lanterns are designed so that mosquitoes and other insects are instantly repelled instead of being attracted to the light source.
Wet boots can cause serious foot problems, so get a good pair. Be sure the flashlight you purchase is waterproof, corrosion resistant and has a scratch resistant lens.
