RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD 3 IDEAS FOR THE ULTIMATE CAMPOUT

CREATE AN OUTDOOR MOVIE THEATER

Even though it’s almost peak camping season, you and your family might opt to cancel your out-of-town trip this summer, but don’t worry. Just because you don’t head into the mountains doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy time outdoors with a backyard campout. It might not be your favorite spot in a sprawling national park, but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn backyard camping into the best staycation ever with these ideas and more.

If you’ve been craving the big-screen experience that you thought only movie theaters could offer, you’re in luck! You can make your own big screen at your backyard campout. All you need is a large white sheet, a home projector, and some speakers. Then, snuggle up in some cozy blankets and pillows under the stars while you watch the best summer blockbusters or throwback favorites.

MAKE A DIY TENT

BUILD A FIREPIT

you can keep a firepit around when cooler weather rolls in too.

While pitching a tent for camping always comes with some level of frustration, making your own tent using household items like tarps, rope, blankets, and more can be a fun project for the kiddos. It’s an opportunity to let them exercise their imaginations and build something they can relax, play, and even spend the night in.

No campout — backyard campouts included — is truly complete without a roaring campfire. With a gravel base and a simple stone barrier (as well as some quick and easy instructions available online), you can build the ultimate firepit for warming up on chilly nights, telling spooky ghost stories, and of course, roasting marshmallows. As a bonus,

This is far from a comprehensive list of backyard camping activities. That said, these three ideas alone can make for several nights of outdoor entertainment. Why not explore the various ways you can have the best camping experience your backyard has to offer?

DON’T LET CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES STALL YOUR RECOVERY BE PROACTIVE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

As we mentioned on the cover of this newsletter, don’t delay your personal injury case just because COVID-19 might be changing the process, especially when it comes to the way insurance companies handle your claim. But even more important than pushing forward with the legalities of your case is the way you continue with your recovery. Medical professionals have advised patients to stay away from health care facilities like hospitals and urgent care units because of their increased exposure to the virus, but if you experience a medical emergency, then it’s vital that you seek the help you need. The risks of not doing so are too great. If you have ongoing treatment or services necessary to your continued healing of an injury you’ve already suffered, then it’s important to keep up with them to the best of your ability. For the sake of your health and your personal injury case, you must find a way to persevere. If you’re not proactive about regaining your health, then

insurance companies are simply not going to believe that you need the compensation you’re seeking. The damages you claim must match up with your treatment plan and the way you execute it. Your recovery activities can affect your health just as much as they can affect the value of your case. If you’re willing and able to leave your home and visit your doctor during this time, then continue doing so. If not, virtual doctor visits and telehealth practices have grown exponentially over the last few months thanks to the way COVID-19 has forced people to be innovative with their communication. This means you do have options for connecting with medical professionals from the safety of your home, and you can still get the advice you need to continue your recovery routine. No matter what happens, it’s important to keep your lawyer informed of your actions. If your health care plan changes, if you’re unable to receive the care you need, or if any other issues arise, then reach out as soon as you can. The Whisler Law Firm can help you figure out the best solutions for keeping your treatment on track and your case intact.
