If you’re looking to venture into the Great Outdoors for the first time this summer (and you should), I read an article recently that offered a number of suggestions for ensuring your first experience camping is a positive one. Because, well, what part of sleeping outside on the ground far away from civilization doesn’t sound appealing?
Here’s the advice that outdoor expert Georges Seguin has to offer:
Memorial Day is here! Hopefully, you were able to get away and enjoy the fine Pacific Northwest weather this weekend. In fact, hopefully you’re still enjoying it…
One of my favorite Memorial Day pastimes is camping. I think this is a given when you live in the Northwest. Who doesn’t love everything about summer camping? The tent, the campfire, the food? It’s all good. If you didn’t get a chance to experience the Great Outdoors this weekend, well, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do so throughout the rest of the summer. And please do take advantage of our beautiful surroundings and three months of warmth and sunshine.
There’s nothing that epitomizes the camping experience quite like the campfire. Whether it’s singing songs, making s’mores, or simply staying warm, the campfire is an essential part of camping. To ensure you fully appreciate and enjoy your campfires this summer, the U.S. Forest Service has some great advice for building, maintaining, and putting out campfires safely. Spring is here, and it’s time to dig out your camping gear. If you’re looking to give a night in the Great Outdoors a try for the first time, Brooke Lorren offers novice campers some help by listing and explaining six essential items you’ll need for camping. Here’s a sneak peak.
With so many products now available on the internet, deciding whether or not to purchase your camping, hunting or fishing gear online may be an easy decision for you. If your previous experiences with online purchases have been positive ones, you probably won’t hesitate to order your new tackle from an online source. If you haven’t had good results in the past, you may hesitate to trust another online dealer.
When seeking out outdoor equipment online, it’s important to choose a dealer that has name recognition. Brand names are helpful so that you can do true price comparisons between dealers. A web site that has live chat with knowledgeable and courteous customer service representatives will allow your questions to be answered in a timely manner.
