How To Go Camping With A Baby

Camping with your baby can be a lot of fun, and can be a special time between you and your baby. Babies adjust easily and seem to enjoy the new sights and sounds of camping.

You can use the items made for babies on your camping trip. You want to make camping with your baby comfortable and convenient so you have more time to spend doing fun activities with your family.

Most babies enjoy the water, and many campgrounds have baby pools. Take your baby swimming and keep your eyes open for the excitement he/she will show. If there is a beach where you camp, you can take baby with you. It is important to protect your baby from the sun and heat. Sunscreen is a must to protect baby's delicate skin. Shade is always a good idea for baby when he/she is not in the water.

Backpack baby carriers are a good idea when camping with baby, since there are frequently places that are hard to push a stroller. If you like hiking, or going for a walk around the campground, a baby backpack carrier could be just the thing for you. Baby backpack carriers are used for babies who can sit up on their own. These backpacks are available with a hood to protect your baby from the sun. Most babies love the closeness of Mom or Dad while riding in their baby backpack.

Backpack diaper bags are also very useful when camping with your baby. These backpacks are comfortable to wear, and can hold more supplies than a regular diaper bag. Some of these backpacks are available with an insulated pocket that aides in keeping bottles and snacks cool for baby. Also, when walking long distances or hiking, it is better to wear a backpack diaper bag that evenly distributes the weight across your back and is better for your body and balance, than to carry a heavy diaper bag that hangs from one shoulder. Taking walks and/or hikes with your baby can be a fun, exciting, and interesting time together.

While camping with your baby, you may want to use a child locator. Child locators come in different styles. One style uses a fun clip device to clip onto the clothing of your baby/child and a small hand held device for you, the parent, to push a button, which will emit a loud, friendly beep from the device clipped to your baby/child. Another style of child locator has a fun device to clip onto your baby's/child's clothing and one for the parent, and operates by using a distance zone, so if your baby/child is outside of that distant zone, a continuous beep goes off. These devices are very helpful in helping you keep an eye on your baby/toddler during times when you may get distracted. As every parent knows, it only takes a few seconds for your baby/toddler to disappear out of your sight.

Camping with your baby can be such a wonderful experience for you, as parents, and for your baby, and with all the available items on the market which help make camping with baby so convenient, camping with your baby can be a very enjoyable, fun, educational, and bonding experience!

Planning Your Camping Food

Camping food for many people has come to mean granola, oatmeal, and more granola. Camping food can range anywhere from veggies or hot dogs – great for roasting over an open fire – to a steak-and-baked-potato dinner and one-pot meals. Freeze-dried camping food is great for hiking, backpacking, or camping meals because you don't have to keep it cold to avoid spoiling. Camping food such as Mountain House Brand or Backpackers Country brands can be a very convenient way to eat. Camping food benefits include your meals can be already. Camping food downsides include cost as meals can be more expensive, and you can lose your creativity for cooking while camping.

Camping Food Recipes

A search of the internet will turn up many online cookbooks and recipes submitted by people interested in camp cooking and are free for you to download. Things to consider when researching camp recipes include cooking for different travelers on different days, planning for large groups, planning for partial trip days, different guests eating different meals, large and small appetites, storage for ingredients, and much more.

Do not overlook soup recipes for camping and other meals that require only one pot or pan, so you can pack light, eat well and enjoy your camping trip.

You can create yummy gourmet meals with a little understanding of grilling and adapting recipes to the grill. You should learn how to adapt regular recipes to grill cooking, too, and you'll see that you can create some mighty tasty gourmet recipes that taste like you've spent hours preparing them.

Family Camping Food Ideas For Children

Children love to get involved, and the beauty of camping is that the recipes are usually simple, easy and fun. The kids will enjoy them even more if you let them modify the camp recipes and have some cooking fun. Before your next family camping trip, gather up some kid-friendly camping recipes. Camping dessert recipes are fun and easy for kids to make, and the whole family enjoys eating them.

Camping Meal Planning

Meals should be planned around the "core" entry but like buying a car it's the extras that make it more enjoyable. Meals should be made as simple as possible. Meals or soups in a cup are definitely convenient foods but they may be too bulky for many backpackers and campers. Meals take more time to prepare at the campground but it's also one of the jobs that everyone seems to want to help out with. Meals around the campfire are just as much the centre of camping life as meals around the kitchen bench at home.

Freeze-dried Camping Food

A quick search of the web turns up numerous companies producing freeze-dried foods for backpacking, including many vegetarian options. One of the best types of camping food is freeze-dried food or dehydrated food. Nowadays, people climbing the Himalayas, exploring the Poles, competing in offshore races, canoers and all kinds of travelers and globetrotters take very light freeze-dried food with them, which in extreme conditions can be made eatable by adding water acquired from snow or even sea water after desalination. Dehydrated or freeze-dried camping food is great for hiking, backpacking, or camping meals because it doesn’t have to be kept cold to avoid spoiling. Camping, backpacking, or hiking food that's freeze-dried or dehydrated can reduce weight by sixty to ninety percent. With a little creativity it's easy to make meals better-tasting and healthier than freeze-dried astronaut meals!

With some tasty camping food in your pack, you can make sure you won’t go hungry. Take easy to carry, high energy camping food to fuel your expeditions and outdoor adventures. If you're used to eating at gourmet restaurants, no matter what type of camping food you pack you'll probably be disappointed but you’ll still have fun. You'll also want to consider animal and/or bear resistant camping food containers especially if you're going to bear country. Please check the local area for suggestions on camping food storage and how to deal with trash. Good camping food is easy, light-weight, and served hot quickly.

How to Load Your Backpack Correctly

Yes, there is a correct way to load your backpack. Some people try to be more organized than others, but it is important to make every inch count.

Besides having a proper fit, the other key to a comfortable trip is the correct loading of your pack. Everyone has their own system of loading their pack, there are a few universal guidelines about weight and gravity.

A very well designed Camping Backpack will keep the load close to your center of gravity, making it easier for you to move, change directions, and do what you need to do. A properly loaded backpack is considerable more comfortable than an improperly packed one.

First, start by loosening all the packs compression straps, and all internal dividers. Then put your sleeping bag in the bottom. Some hikers prefer to put their sleeping bag into a stuff sack. We do suggest using a compression stuff sack to compress the sleeping bag to its smallest size possible.

Next, place your tent body and fly, folding into a square. It goes close to your back. Above the tent, but no higher than your shoulders, should be your heaviest items: food, fuel, water filter, etc.

Next on top of this, but away from your back, should be lighter items, like clothing. Use the side mesh pockets for water or fuel bottles, tent poles and fly rods. Keep items which you need quickly or frequently near access points or outside pockets.

I hope this information will be beneficial to all my fellow hiking friends. Remember, correct packing of your camping backpacks will provide many hours of enjoyable and comfortable hiking.

Nova Scotian Hiking Trails

Nothing beats the rush of adrenaline when it comes to putting on your hiking boots and trudging off to hike. And what better place to go hiking than on a Nova Scotia hiking trail.

Try a walking junket to Kejimkujik National Park, only one of two national parks in Nova Scotia. The park is a hiker's dream come true. It is the only inland national park in Canada, and it allows a plethora of outdoor activities, from hiking its many trails, to camping, to swimming. You can also rent canoes and take off for a day or two weeks at a time. It may not have breathtaking mountain vistas, but it does offer thick woodlands and gentle rolling landscapes, and there are 14 different trials totaling roughly about 18 1/2 miles that you can explore-ranging from some secluded streams and waterfalls to some lovely beaches and rock strewn headlands.

Or try the Cape George Hiking Trail,with its panoramic view 600 feet above sea level. You could include a few challenging sections on the trail and then give yourself a break with some easy ones. All that and much more is available with the connecting loops of 20 1/2 miles worth of hiking trails. You can't help but gawk at the beautiful views of the red cliffs and the coastline as you walk along the trail.

Then there are the views of rocky headlands and a white sandy beach which can be had on the Taylor Head Provincial Park hiking trail, part of which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. It is made up of 4 different hiking trails, from novice to the more experienced. But with 10 miles of rugged coastline views, and a one kilometer sandy beach, this is a hiking experience not to be missed.

And if you get to the bay of Fundy area,you should give the Cape Chigneto Provincial Park a serious try.While there you can enjoy the old-growth forests, experience the virgin coastline, and the deep valleys, as well as discovering the sheltered coves hidden around the bend. You'll have plenty of sights to see, and the total mileage of all the trails come out to be 32.5 miles.

While there, be sure to find the nearby Wards Falls Hiking Trail. The trail is much shorter than that found in Cape Chigneto, totaling about 6.5 miles. But here you can feel the rush of a 20 foot high waterfall at the end of this little trail. And with its deep gorge, you get a spectacular view, small but still challenging.

Nova Scotia hiking experiences will leave you breathless in more ways than one. Get ready for an adventure and enjoy yourself!

7 Ways Why Hiking is Better Than Going to the Gym

Gyms definitely have their place. Let's face it, without health & fitness clubs, many people would never work out. There are certain people, and you may be one of this group, who simply need a gym-like environment full of people, machines & weights to motivate them to workout. A gym atmosphere does much to push some people into getting into shape. Whether it's the sight of people in better condition than we are, or maybe just the opposite, those who are worse off & make us feel better about ourselves; whatever the reason, health clubs do a great deal to help thousands & perhaps millions of people to exercise and achieve a better fitness level.

Treadmills, stair-steppers, spinning classes, aerobic classes, Tae Bo, kick boxing, yoga, pilates, the list goes on. All these aerobic exercises & classes each appeal to different people, and if practiced with intensity & commitment, will yield results. For the most part, all these aforementioned activities take place inside a building, usually a health or fitness club. Yet I'd like to mention an activity which I feel can be healthier & more physically stimulating than any of these other activities: hiking.

One of the best all-around aerobic activities that anyone can engage in is hiking. The best part, there's no fee where you practice this, as it's accomplished in nature's own health club, the outdoors! Yes, going to the gym and pushing the pedals, tramping the treadmill or straining on the stair-stepper will definitely burn off unwanted body fat and do your body good. But in my opinion, a gym simply can't compete with nature. Off the top of my head, here's seven benefits of hiking over indoor aerobic activity:

1.Breathing crisp, fresh air is healthier than the intake of body-odor-sweat-laden gym air. Tastes better too!
2.Hiking stimulates & sharpens every physical sense.
3.Increases brain function.
4.Gyms are crowded. Can't really be alone with your thoughts in a gym full of people.
5.Costs less. Once you've bought a good pair of hiking boots or shoes, there are no more fees.
6.You don't need to wait for a trail to hike, as you do for machines or weights in a gym.
7.Outdoors is more diverse. Gyms are all pretty much the same.

In 2004, results were released of a fascinating study involving how hiking influences the fats & sugars in one's blood. Austrian researchers announced their findings following an in depth comparison of two groups of people chosen for studying the effects of hiking. This took place in the Alps at a ski resort mountain. One group hiked uphill for two months, while the second group were transported by cable car to a higher elevation, then hiked downhill. The groups switched their respective programs after this two month period, repeating the experiment.

The findings revealed that hiking both uphill & downhill provides excellent health benefits. Both directions of hiking reduced LDL cholesterol levels, known as "bad" cholesterol. Triglyceride levels were reduced from hiking uphill only, while downhill hiking was almost twice as effective in removing blood sugars and improving glucose tolerance.

That's some pretty amazing information. I always knew that hiking was great for the body, but this particular study breaks it down and shares information that I didn't know. Researchers from the Vorarlberg Institute for Vascular Investigation and Treatment are those who performed this intensive study. Up until now, the benefits of hiking could only be theorized and no true scientific information was available. Hiking is indeed great for raising our fitness levels & keeping us healthy!

How to Camp - An Ultimate Beginner's Guide

Now I know what you are telling yourself.....I would really like to camp, it looks fun but I have no idea how to camp, what to bring or what to expect. There are a few things that you really have to determine before you can figure out what you need to do to get ready for your camping trip. Answering the following basic questions will guide you to finding your footing.

1. What type of camping have you decided to do? Did you want to RV camp? Camper/Trailer camp? Tent camp? Backpack/Hike camp? Canoe/kayak camp?

Determining the type of camping you want to do can aid you in what sort of equipment and expertise is needed. For example, you would need a vastly different sort of equipment for RV camping versus hiking camping.

Camping descriptions:

RV Camping (or recreational vehicle camping) is most like living at home because you bring a furnished vehicle that you basically live in with you. You can make your RV just as comfy as you like. Everything that you need from home can most likely be brought with you in your RV. All you really need to think about are what foods and personal items you would like to stock it with. This type of camping is generally for the people who do not like to "rough it" but also might like to be social since many times RV are parked fairly near each other or in similar sections. Though there are some normal maintenance items with RVs, you basically park them and live in them.

Camper or Trailer camping is just a step more rugged than RV camping. Many times campers or trailers do not have showers or toilets, unlike most RVs. Depending on the camper or trailer, a refrigerator may not be included either. Generally, camper or trailer camping is more for people who do not like to sleep on the ground or worry about severe weather but still want to get out there.

Tent camping is generally more for people who would like to "rough it." Tent camping requires you to think about all of your basic needs ahead of time (food, hygiene, restroom requirements, shelter, seeing at night, warmth). There are actually varying levels of tent camping as well. Some people like to bring a tent and shop for all of their needs while others like to camp in more remote areas away from people. Packing for a tent camping trip can be time consuming because you have to think of everything you might need.

Backpacking or Hiking camping is a bit more for the experienced campers. Think about it...everything you think you are going to need you have to be able to strap to your back and carry it for quite a distance. You have to be able to pack well and pack light!

Canoe/kayak camping is much like hiking camping in regards to packing but you have to add another element. You have to make sure that everything is waterproof. Canoe/kayak camping would be for the more experienced camper and of course, for people who know how to canoe and/or kayak.

Recommendations for camping situations:

RV Camping - Shop around and do research before you decide on an RV for purchase. Talk to people who already own them and ask them what they like and don't like about their particular model. Go to RV dealerships and walk through a bunch of them. Maybe, go as far as renting an RV on a small trip to see what you do or don't like about RV camping.

Camper/Trailer Camping - Because there might not be amenities like a refrigerator, more setup and forethought is required. You most likely will have to purchase a cooler or two to keep your food and beverages chilled. Also, you may have to think about generators if you would like to run electrical items. Though you might have beds in the camper you may have to put bedding in.

Tent Camping - Think about the type of tent camping you'd like to do. Does my tent have to be lightweight? Waterproof? Wind sturdy? What size tent do I need (family size or just for me)? What terrain will I be camping on? A good camping tent can make all the difference on your trip.

Backpacking/Hiking Camping - Look for lightweight supplies, as you have to carry them all. Equipment research into lighter weight sturdy hiking backpacks is a good idea. Always check ahead of time if the area you wish to hike and camp allows people to do so. Pay attention to "no trespassing" signs and heed them. Check your weather! You need to know what equipment to pack for the weather. It is also recommended that you camp with a buddy. In case something should happen, there should be someone who can go get help.

Canoe/kayak Camping - It might be advisable to take some canoe or kayak lessons (and swimming lessons) before attempting a camping trip in this way. Perhaps you may wish to rent a canoe or kayak to make sure you like the activity before diving in.

2. Where have you decided to go camping? Are you going to be camping in the Desert? Beach? Forest/woods?

This is a very important question to answer in order to figure out your main needs. You'd prepare very differently for desert camping than you would for camping in the forest.

In Desert camping temperatures can have extreme ranges from the heat of the day to the cold of the night. The biggest threats (most of the year) in the desert are the sun and dehydration. It is very important to protect yourself with sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Due to the dry air you are not aware of how much you are perspiring because it evaporates so quickly off your skin.

Beach camping is very nice but you should prepare for it. Due to the nature of sand it is difficult to weigh things down with normal tent stakes. There are tent stakes that are much longer for this specific purpose. You also must be prepared for the possibility that sand could get into everything. Depending on how deep in the sand you'd like to go you should think about the vehicle you are using to get there. Again, with the nature of sand it may be difficult to dig yourself back out. You may wish to bring a shovel or random piece of wood.

Forest/woods are usually great for shelter from rainstorms and sun. They are also great for hammocks but you have to be aware of biting insects and certain itchy plants. Bug spray would be a huge recommendation for camping in the woods.

3. When or what time of the year are you going camping?

Figuring out what type of weather you are going to have to deal with while camping is key. Personally, I think this is the most important information required to plan a proper camping trip. Of course if you have an RV, this information probably doesn't help you because you aren't exposed to the elements.

Colder weather camping obviously requires warmer clothes but you may wish to consider a warmer camping sleeping bag regardless of what method of shelter you are using.

Wetter weather camping means that your terrain may be more difficult to deal with. If you are tent camping, it would be recommended to lay a tarp under your tent, look for slightly higher ground to pitch your tent and always use your rain flys.

In hotter weather always make sure to keep yourself hydrated. If you bring your water with you, bring lots. If you are hiking camping, you may wish to consider a water treatment or a camping water filter.

Congratulations on taking your first step toward camping by answering these preliminary questions. You are now on your way to planning for a camping trip tailored more to your specific needs and desires.

Camping Made Easy

Summer is here, or so it seems. Summer means something different to everyone. I love summer for all of the camping opportunities that it offers.

I get really excited just thinking about being outdoors for days on end with family and friends, playing games hiking or just sitting around the campfire talking. Some of my most cherished memories are of my family camping when I was small. You will make memories that you will never forget. Before the fun can begin you will need to prepare for your outing. You will have to choose what type of camping you want to do.

There are many different types of camping. From a camping RV park with a camp host running water and flush toilets and hot showers, to the deep woods off the beaten path camping under the stars. If you are just start out and this is your first time camping I suggest option number one. You will find it more relaxing camping at a park with host at first. You will forget something and it is much less hassle to just stroll over and ask the camp host where you may get the item that you swore you packed but just can't find right now. The best way to prepare for camping is to start a list of basic items you will need, here is my basic list for beginners:

1. Tent
2. Sleeping Bags
3. Bug Spray
4. Warm and Cool Clothing
5. Sun Screen
6. Flashlight
7. Rain gear
8. Matches
9. First Aid Kit
10. Food
11. Toilet Paper (trust me on that one)

One main section of your list should be about shelter. For people who prefer roughing it a bit, this will include a tent of some type. There are hundreds of tents to fit everyone's needs, from giant multi-room tents to little tiny one man tents. The next important thing you will need to consider is your bedding or sleeping bags. the type of sleeping bag you choose can be the difference between having a good camping trip or an awful one.

Make sure that it has the proper temp rating for the weather conditions that you will be camping in. There is nothing worse than being to hot or to cold while you try to sleep. To make the best choices for your needs speak to the sales person at your local sporting goods store and you should walk out ready to try your hand at camping.
