Do you have a few days without anything to do or a weekend when you do not want to do anything? I know what I’d do. I would pack up the car and head for the wood. . Sitting by a camp fire with your favorite people solves many problems, so you shouldn’t wait too long between fires. My favorite thing to do on a weekend is to camp. Are you looking for an easy way to camp? How about car camping? I love it!
First of all, we must determine car camping When you can drive your vehicle right up to the camp site, that’s called car camping Even if you’re driving a truck it’s still called car camping. The advantage of car camping versus primitive or base camping is that you can take anything you want with you. If you want to take a hammock or huge grill or a stack of magazines, you can. Load your car or truck with food, clothing, shelter, bedding, games and anything else you want to take along and get going. It’s really that simple.
So where can you car camp? Just about anywhere. National and state parks don’t allow car camping except in designated campgrounds, other than that, you can car camp virtually anywhere on public lands. The internet is loaded with websites that can help. Start looking at macfor23.com for more adventure
Here are some things I take along when I car camp: hiking gear, bird watching binoculars and field guide, a radio for music and weather updates, tent, cot, sleeping bag, grill, shovel, fire starting gear, lots of food and drink, first aid kit, a stack of reading material – this can also be used for building a fire – such as newspapers and magazines, rain gear, hammock, dogs and dog food, folding chairs and table, stove, table service and utensils….you get the idea. I take all that I need to be comfortable. If you don’t have these things, don’t fret, all you really need are food, shelter and common sense.
Camping is an excellent way to replenish and enhance connections. Take your partner, your children, your friends, your friends. Without the disruptions of tv, phone, online and travel security lamps, you will have a amazing time. I’ll always remember something a beloved companion informed me years ago, “Time spent in our great outdoors is time added to your life.†That sounds like a good reason to go.
