Camping Mattress – How To Find Good Quality

January 30, 2010 at 7:09 am · Filed under Travel

Camping mattresses are no longer available in standard weights and in only a few colours.  There are lots of different types on the market, but what type should you buy and what are the important things to think about before buying a camping mattress?Objectives issues for consideration are raised in this article, prior to buying.

Most camping mattresses that you buy now are of exceptional quality.  Yes you still can buy the very thin and cheap camping mattresses that do very little in terms of providing comfort and warmth, but overall, the world of camping mattresses has evolved significantly over the last few years.  Camping mattresses are now a multi-million pound industry and if you want luxury, then luxury you will have!

Before you splash out on one of the top of the range mattessess there are some basic things to consider.If there are two of you and your tent is very quaint and your mattress is larger than the standard then your quaint little tent will suddenly feel very small indeed.  So make sure that any mattresses that you buy will easily fit into your tents for camping.

Inflatable mattresses are very popular currently, but you need to have a means of inflating them.Comfort is essential when camping so the fact that you are effectively supported by air equals a pleasurable camping trip!  For those who are a little lazier, self-inflating mattresses are also available but these tend to be a little more expensive.

A good camping mattress should protect you from the cold or dampness, so really the thicker the mattress the better.  If you are laid on a thin mattress you will feel the cold much worse.  You may also find that you are pretty stiff the next morning, so thickness is a prime consideration whilst taking account of the space it will take up.

One very important issue is space.  If you are travelling by car then you don’t need to worry about weight or how much room your mattresses take up, but if you are travelling by bicycle or hiking, then do you really want to be carrying thick mattresses and a pump to inflate them?the weight of the mattress also has to be considered.

So a good mattress is dependent on a number of factors, balancing comfort, thickness, weight and how you are travelling.Be careful not to buy a super de luxe mattress that takes up the whole of your rucksack, buy the one that suits your needs.

Things To Think About While Looking For Camp Locations

January 6, 2010 at 8:37 am · Filed under Travel

Camping sites seem to be mushrooming across America over the last two years – particularly since fitness experts and New Age philosophers have been emphasizing that one should spend time with Nature. Our lives are so fast-paced spent in air-conditioned buildings that taking off on a holiday to sleep in another air-conditioned hotel room doesn’t do much for a rejuvenation of the spirit or body. Camping, therefore, makes an ideal holiday choice. You can find hundreds of camping locations depending on cost, activities etc.

But before you decide to camp out look into the safety and security aspects of it. There is no point in going off to a remote location from where accessing help may be difficult. Choose a campsite near your home if you’re camping out for the first time. Even if you are going out in a large group of with family, checking up on the safety features of camping locations should be the most important aspect of your holiday plans.

Price, of course, will be a crucial deciding factor for your holiday. Many campgrounds that do not have options for outdoor activities charge a smaller admission and camping fee.

If a campsite has been specially geared up for hosting families there will be options for  hobby classes, fun activities with children and more. Some camping locations are near  lakes and rivers so there are options for swimming, boating etc. Several camping  locations fall on hiking and cycling trails so you can also consider going in for a  cycling/hiking vacation while taking a break mid-way for camping out instead of spending.

If you don’t intend to camp out often, you may want to check out camping locations that  also lend out camping equipment like tents, flashlights, campfire cooking accessories and  other stuff.

A lot of information on all the popular camping locations in America is available on the Internet. You can check these out and also consider whether you want to choose your own site at a camping site or let one be assigned to you.

Camping List, What Is Necessary?

January 6, 2010 at 8:37 am · Filed under Travel

I am going to show you a simple easy camping list from an experienced camper. All of us like to enjoy the great outdoors, listening to the crickets chirp and the still of the night as you look up at the moon and stars. Camping is an affordable and easy way to do that.

Some campers have gotten the packing down to a science on what they can leave behind and what they can’t do without. How long will you be gone is the most important question you need to ask yourself before going on a camping trip. This will allow you to know how much food to take as well as staple supplies.

If your camping trip is going to be a small one then you will not have to pack as much. Packing simple things such as sandwich items, paper products and chips or individual snack foods is a great way to go. Any way you go you will still need to bring along a cooler so you can keep drinks cold.

Many avid campers go and camp just as if they were at home. They will pack pans to wash dishes in, dish soap, cutting boards and pots and pans just as if they were home. When we go camping we usually fix sandwiches for lunch and regular meals for breakfast and dinner. Preparing these items will make your list grow but really is no different than preparing them at home.

A few necessity items that you will need to pack is a grill, tarp, snacks, bath items, sleeping bags, comfortable cot and something to start a fire with.

Camping is an enjoyment that all families of any ages can enjoy. Your family may be on the high maintenance end and need more than this simple list. This list was prepared by an avid camper who has five children that tries to keep camping down to a bear minimal.

Camping Tents – How To Buy The Right One

September 30, 2009 at 4:43 am · Filed under Travel

An important element of an enjoyable camping experience is having the right family tent. Camping is a fun experience, but using the wrong tent can dampen the whole thing.

There are some questions that you should ask yourself to ensure that you choose the perfect tent for both you and your family.

First of all, a basic but very important question to answer is how many people will be sleeping inside the tent? This will determine the right style and size for your needs.

You might consider buying a tent slightly bigger than you need. For example, if you need a tent for 6, consider purchasing a 7 person tent. That way you should have plenty of room for everyone.

What kind of conditions should the tent be able to withstand? Will you camp in the summer? Spring and summer? Or are you going to camp year round? You want to purchase a tent that can handle the various conditions you’re likely to encounter.

There are family camping tents made mostly for fair weather and there are 3 or 4 season tents. How often will the tent be used? You want a durable family tent if you’re planning on camping frequently. If you’re camping with super active children, you definitely want a very durable tent!

How much interior space do you want or need? If comfort is important, you have to take sleeping space and storage into account. Do you want standing room? Consider buying a dome shaped tent.Will you be hiking or backpacking? You should look for a lightweight tent that you can easily carry around.

Shapes And Styles

Family camping tents are available in different shapes and can be small enough for 3 and large enough to hold 10+.

Family Cabin Tents

Cabin tents can be sectioned off to create two or more rooms and usually allow multiple entry and exit points.

Dome Style Family Tents

The rounded shape of a family dome tent adds strength, good wind resistance and good interior space.

A-Frame Style Tents

A-frame tents have a simple, lightweight design. They’re usually freestanding and easy to get set up. There’s good room at the floor but there’s less room at the top.

Umbrella Style Tents

Umbrella style tents have spacious head and floor space, can hold many people, and have good ventilation.

Different Season Tents

There are 2, 3 and 4 season family camping tents.

Two season tents are fair weather tents that are usually very inexpensive.

Three season tents are the most popular and are able to handle rain.

Four season tents have heavier construction to fight off wind stress and snow loads. They’re made of higher grade fabrics and contain more poles for added strength.

Four season tents can possibly feel hot and heavy if used in moderate weather.

Shop from a variety of family tents – you’ll find smaller 3 person tents and larger 7+ person tents

How To Buy A Winter Tent

September 21, 2009 at 3:27 am · Filed under Travel

Good four season tents (also called winter tents) are made to effectively protect you from wind, cold and forms of precipitation while enabling sufficient ventilation.

Before I get into some of the factors of choosing a good winter/four season tent, keep in mind that the usage of a four season tent is not necessarily restricted to winter conditions – they work just fine in good or mild conditions as well. Just remember that although you can use your 4 season tent in the summer, many of them trap heat and don’t have the ventilation to keep you cool (unless it’s a lightweight 4 season tent).

Now, the tent you purchase should…

• keep out the cold,
• ventilate well,
• stand up to strong winds,
• brush off heavy snow, and
• ward off all forms of precipitation.

If you’ll be backpacking, you want to buy a lightweight tent so you can easily carry it around.

Winter camping tents are designed to withstand extreme conditions, but here are three things to consider before you buy your winter tent…

Size Is Important

Winter campers spend lots of time inside their tents as compared to summer campers. For this reason you definitely want to choose the right size tent. There are tents made for 1 person and others made to sleep 8+. Think about buying a tent that is slightly larger than what you need.

For example, if you need to sleep 3, consider buying a 4 person tent to ensure you’ll have plenty of space.

Strong Frame

The tent poles should be sturdy. The frame should be made of extra strength aluminum or carbon fiber rather than fiberglass or customary aluminum which can easily fracture.

Storage

You want a tent with storage options for your gear. You want to be able to move around inside your tent without smashing anything.

If you have multiple rooms, you can designate a space for storing boots, wet outerwear, etc.

Storage pockets will also help make it easy to find handy items that you might need.

Armed with the know-how, the right equipment and a quality winter tent, you’ll be comfortable no matter what the weather decides to dish out.
