How Camping Can Be A Responsible Camper While You Enjoy...

Camping is a fun, low cost way to enjoy the summer with family and friends. Here are a few tips that will help you be a responsible camper while you enjoy the wild. 1. For bug repellent try citronella candles and Avon Skin So Soft instead of toxic chemical insect repellents. 2. Wear long sleeves and long pants at dawn and dusk when insects are most active. 3. Stay on trails to protect habitat and avoid snake encounters. Snakes sense vibrations, so walking with a buddy or a group is not only wise, it will announce your presence to snakes who just want to avoid encountering YOU! 4. Invest in a good sleeping pad, or at the least, put an exercise mat under your sleeping bag. 5. Block ice lasts longer than bagged ice. Make your own at home by filling milk jugs or water bottles. The less you open the cooler, the longer the ice will last. 6. Never hang lanterns on trees because the heat can cause serious harm. 7. Pack a small plastic bucket for dish washing and never use the bathhouse sink for this task. 8. Hungry critters can be very clever and destructive. Keep food locked in vehicles or tied up in trees. 9. Freeze chili, soups and stews in zip lock bags, then heat them after they thaw. The frozen bags help keep ice from melting in the cooler. Rice and pasta can also be cooked ahead of time and reheated on a camp stove. 10. Pita pockets keep their shape better than loaf bread. 11. Disposable water bottles make great dispensers for salad dressings and sauces. 12.Show MoreRelatedA Brief Note On Wildfires And Its Effects On The Environment2061 Words   |  9 Pagesfires not only affect the land and the wildlife, it puts the lives of other camper s, in jeopardy as well.
