4 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND ON YOUR NEXT FAMILY CAMPING TRIP GONE CAMPING
KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY. Keep a close eye on the sky and monitor the weather on a radio. If a storm appears, seek shelter immediately and stay out of low-lying areas. When you’re in mountainous or hilly terrain, a little rain is all it takes for flash floods to occur. If you’re in a ravine when it starts raining, get out immediately. ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER. The “buddy system” is always the best and most fun way to enjoy outdoor adventures. When hiking, walking, and biking, keep a whistle handy. Have plenty of water and snacks. Look for landmarks and be aware of your surroundings. Create a trail of “breadcrumbs” to find your way back. Now, go and enjoy the Great Outdoors!
TEACH FIRE SAFETY. Know the rules of fire safety and make sure everyone in your family follows them. Choose a spot away from brush and hanging branches, surrounded by rocks. Keeping a bucket of water and fireplace tools nearby at all times will keep your campfire under control.
With summer still in full swing, many families take a camping vacation. As with any trip, “Be Prepared” is always great advice, especially when braving the great outdoors. Here are four tips to ensure a great experience. ALWAYS HAVE A FIRST AID KIT. A good rule of thumb is to keep one in your car at all times. You never know when you’ll need it. Kids may get a few bumps and scrapes while out hiking, or you might encounter poisonous plants, such as poison ivy or poison oak. Having quick access to cold water, soap, antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol), and calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream can keep infections at bay.
