Christian Outdoor Recreation: Reporting on: Camping Safety For Beginners:

If you are a beginner camper or if you have not been camping for a few years, you may want to stay close to home and iron out any problem you may have. One way of doing that is too consider camping out in your very own backyard to find out if you are prepared as you really have need of being; as it seems like we always forget something the first or second time out. This may seem childish but it’s far better to solve any problem in your camping routine now and it’s a cheap way to find out if camping is right for you. Before you head out on your adventure, remember camping should be about fun and safety. I cannot stress how important it is to plan and plan some more. Make yourself familiar with the area you will be camping at. Check the short and long-term weather forecasts. Be sure to make a detailed list of things to bring with you. Be Prepared, here are a few items to get you started. Be ready for accidents and bring a fully stocked first aid kit with the know how to use it. A sleeping bag and ground cover or sleeping pad is needful to keep you cozy as well as a tent and basic camping tools. Unless you have had experience in setting and maintaining an open fire, consider using a camp stove or portable grill. Plan your trip so that you arrive early with plenty of daylight to choose your location and set up your camp. Be sure to inspect you campsite for trees with dead or diseased limbs. There is nothing worse than a tree limb crashing through your tent at two in the morning. Also, keep an eye out for insect nests, both on the ground, and in trees or brush. You may also want to spot and avoid poisonous plants and Stay away from any questionable areas.

Christian Outdoor Recreation: Reporting on: Encounter with Nature in the Strawberry Wilderness # 1

A few months before my son,
Dean Graduated from High School, I told him about the Barrier that I found up close to the Strawberry Wilderness Area. Evidently He told 5 friends and got them Hyped up about it. So they decided that a trip up to high lake is just what they needed when they graduated; seeing they may be parting company with each other a few months down the road. None of the Boy’s Dad’s volunteered to come along and I was not all that enthused about it when I found out I was the only Adult going. I knew it would be tough backing out especially with my son being the one who got the others to go. With the day being set which was Saturday, they decided they wanted to go up Friday night and campout. I worked day shift at that time so I took off early and got home at 1: 00 in the afternoon. On the way home I saw dark clouds over the mountains. So I had my son call everyone and ask them if they wanted to walk a mile & 1/2 in the rain just to get where we will camp for the night, or would they rather wait and go up in the morning. They all agreed they wanted to go up and campout. There are two things I told them they would do, for there were some boy’s I did not know. 1. Obey me and do just as I tell them to do; where we were going was not place to play around. 2. make certain all your food and clothing and sleep bags and ground cloths and something to make a lean too out of or a tent are all wrapped up in plastic bags; and have spare plastic bags to put over you for walking .
