First Camping Trip? Here are some things you should bring!

 

    Going camping for the first time is always exciting! There's so much to see, do and experience on your trip. However, without the right gear, you won't enjoy the trip as much as you can, so here are some essentials that you need to bring to enjoy your first camping trip.

    Tent - Depending on how many people are tenting with you, I would recommend the TETON Sports Mountain Ultra 2-person tent. This tent is very durable and most definitely will last you a long time. This tent is also cheap compared to other tents. If you're tenting with more than 2 people, then I recommend finding a tent on the TETON Website, or by searching for them on Amazon.

    Sleeping bag - Depending on the type of weather that you're going to experience on your trip, I recommend the ECOOPRO  sleeping bag for summer and the RIOYALO sleeping bag for winter.

    Stove - Buying a stove is completely dependent on what you'll be eating on your trip. If you want to buy a nice stove that will last awhile without breaking the bank, I would recommend the Camp Chef Explorer 2-Burner Camp Stove. Although you'll have to buy (or bring) pans, pots, or a griddle to cook on it, it's still worth the price, and you can even buy a carrying bag to allow it to be portable!

    Day Pack - If you're interested in buying a day pack that also has a hydration straw built into it, I recommend the LUNiDry Insulated Hydration Pack. Though small, this pack can hold 3 Liters of water while still having storage for other small items, such as a first aid kit.

    Water Bottle - If you're going to be camping a lot, I recommend a Nalgene water bottle. These water bottles are extremely durable and are recommended by most other people who camp a lot. They also measure how much water is in them, so you can make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day.

    Headlamp - I recommend the Energizer Vision HD+ headlamp as it get many good reviews on Amazon. This headlamp lasts for a very long time, especially with the energizer batteries. 

    These are all the things beginner campers should buy. If you're looking for some more things that more advanced campers should buy, or some things that are not essential on your camping trip, but a recommended because they're nice to have, you can check out other posts on my blog at https://the-camping-guide.blogspot.com.

It's Tick Season! Here are some tips to stay safe from them.

    Tick season is a time of worry about many people. Tick's can appear and every U.S. state, and some can carry Lymes  disease . All ticks are different, some are more dangerous than others, and others are completely harmless. It's important to take the same precautions for every tick so that you don't get hurt or sick, and it's also important to protect yourself from ticks, which is what I'll be discussing today.     Like discussed earlier, ticks are dangerous. However, it's important not to panic if a tick bites you. If a tick does bite you, you need to; 1; Remove the tick - Grab the tick close to your skin and PULL , not twist. 2; Clean the Area - Clean the area of the tick bite with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. 3; Save the Tick - Although it sounds weird, save the tick in a plastic container in the case you need to show it to your doctor.      If you take these precautions, you should be fine. However, if you develop rash, fever, ...

Going camping again? Here's some gear that advanced campers need.

       Camping is very fun, and if you're reading this, who've most likely gone camping a couple of times. The items I'm going to review are items that are not needed to go camping, although they are recommended by me to make your experience a lot better. Sleeping pad - If you've gone camping more than once and plan on going camping again, I recommend getting the Wakeman Foam Sleeping Pad  because unlike an inflated pad, it doesn't deflate or run the risk of popping. The only downside to this pad is how bulky it is, which is worth it to me because it has lasted me a long time.  Pillow - As much as I agree that a regular pillow is perfectly fine to bring on a camping trip, I believe that the NEMO Camping Pillow  is a good choice if you're regularly camping. This is because of how compact this pillow is, unlike a traditional pillow. This pillow even comes in a built-in bag, so you won't lose it and keep the pillow compact. Camping Chair - Camping chairs ...
