Camping Gear Tips

• Be sure you have backup batteries of every size that you use, and that they're fresh.


• Use a rainfly. This is a large tarp that's erected over the picnic table for shelter from sun and rain.


• Always securely stake down the rainfly to keep it stable in the wind, even if it is calm when you set it up. Wind has a habit of rising up in the middle of night during a thunderstorm. If you secured it right, you won't need to get up and check on it during the storm.


• Folding lawn chairs are great for relaxing around camp.


• Tie a clothesline between a couple of trees, and hang your wet towels and swimsuits over it for drying.


• Hang up your sleeping bag during the day to air it out.


• You will sleep much better if you take your favorite pillow.


• Use lots of sunscreen. Most people underestimate the effects of being outdoors all day long on a camping trip. Also, remember the bug spray.


• Take your own toilet paper. Campgrounds often run out, and it's not always provided at remote camping areas.
