texas state parks camping

Don't add too many items that add to the weight of the backpack or you will tire out quickly. If you enjoy rock climbing, then winters can be problematic since most of your favorite climbs aren t exactly accessible, so ice climbing may just be the answer to your problem.

Ice climbing is an absolute blast once you get past the fact you are essentially climbing water. Ensure that you are aware of insect bites and stings, plants and weeds that may cause allergic reactions, exposure to various climactic conditions. By your third or fourth trip you would have gathered enough to offer beginner camping tips to others and could probably even graduate to longer stays and more rustic locations.

Some flashlights do not through a very strong light and they are subject to going out in a breeze. Not everyone has a perfect sense of direction, which may lead to some campers getting lost. I stopped getting blisters the moment I gave up hiking boots and hiking socks.

Camping is the perfect opportunity to do some star gazing. Make sure you always check your equipment.
