School is out and the main question on families’ minds is where will we go to enjoy the outdoors this summer? Some choose the national parks, which have reduced rates this year or in certain cases free admission.
Others prefer the state parks to camp for a week or even a long weekend. There is a need for people to escape the normal everyday grind to feel the wind in their face and smell the rain on pine needles.
But enjoying the outdoors takes a bit of planning, one does not just jump in the car and drive. If you are camping, there are things to be considered such as where to stay, what to eat and activities to do. If you are cooking over a campfire or gas stove, keep the meals simple and easy to make. A first aid kit is one of the most essential items you will need in case of injury.
Make a list of what you need to take with you, compare it to one that various camping sites have online in case there
