Preparation is the key to having a memorable camping experience, whether you are just pitching a tent out back or jetting off for a trek through the Rockies. You can find out how to be prepared for camping with the following advice. You will surely be grateful for the information you found here.

Find your best place for camping shelter long before nightfall. If you wait until after dark to set up you will find it to be nearly impossible, even if you have decent light. That is particularly true if you aren't used to the blackness of the wilderness. Do whatever you can to make sure that you find a safe location for your tent and pitch it before you find yourself in this sticky situation.

Pack and carry a survival kit on your person for the entire trip. Don't forget things like knives, waterproof matches, flares, first aid, and a water purifier. If you are injured or lose your way, this will give you a greater chance of survival. Never leave the kit behind, even for a short excursion.

Be sure that your tent will comfortably fit everyone that you will be sharing it with to have a good trip. Being stuffed into a tent can make it almost impossible to get any sleep, and you certainly do not want to be stepping on people if you have to get out during the night.

Affirm that your insurance is intact before you leave on your trip. You may need an additional policy when you are traveling on your camping trip. If you are camping outside of your own country, it can be even more critical. Be sure that your insurance will cover you, no matter where you are.

Dryer lint can make great kindling for creating campfires. A month before your camping trip, begin collecting the lint from your dryer's lint filter. Hang a plastic bag beside your dryer and toss the lint into it. Your kindling will be ready for you to grab on the way out the door for your trip.

Make sure that your bags include oranges, since these double up as both a handy and healthy snack but also serve as an organic and natural repellant of mosquitoes. Rubbing orange peels on your body will function as a perfect insect repellent.

Always set up your camp before nightfall. If you driving an RV, you should locate a safe parking spot. Pitch your tent on land that is flat and dry. If you do it before nighttime, it is easier to get familiar with the area. This will also let you avoid the frustration of doing it when it's not at easy to see what you are doing.
