Camping

Have you ever went camping? A lot of people have but some people haven't. If you have went, you know what I'm talking about but if you haven't you don't know what your missing!

Camping is totally relaxing and fun. It gives you a chance to get out in the outdoors. With our busy lives, they move to fast. Camping slows this down and gives you a place to get away, plus is not that expensive.

You must pick a camp site that you want to go to. Look at all the features of the campsite. For example, I like to make sure they have some place to swim plus I like hiking trails. I have noticed if you find a campsite that has more woods, it is more peaceful then in a camp ground that has less trees. State park camp grounds usually have a fine assortment of trees.

You must have something to camp in, like a tent or a camper. A tent is the cheapest, and you usually buy a camper when you figure out that you really like camping. Sometimes camping in a camper can be to much like living at home, you may just want to use a tent because it's really camping.

You must plan on what food you are going to have and how you are going to cook it. You are going to need things for cooking over the fire. Whether it is using a tripod for the fire or just a pan.

Get wood to build a fire. Building a fire can be sometimes difficult so here's a quick tip for building a fire. Start out with smaller piece of wood so they can start on fire faster, keep adding small piece until you really get it going and then you add a big piece of wood. We all think we need a big piece first but we don't.

Sitting around the fire is relaxing. Talking around the fire having a few drinks. It can get you in a good conversation. Watching the flames go this way and that. You can also add a little bit of copper and it will make the flames different colors.

Now what you do throughout the day is up to you. You can go swimming if they have somewhere to swim. I like to go hiking on the hiking trails that the camp grounds have. They have so many things to look at because so many things are growing that you may have never seen before. Fishing while your camping is awesome to. Plus if you want you could catch the fish then fry them up at the end of the day.

If you have had a lot of stress lately, then camping would be a good idea for you. It can get you away from things that are stressing you out making you able to have a good time.

If you haven't went camping ever, you must try it!
