Gearing Up For Your Travel Camp

Camping is one way to enjoy a travel. But, you must be prepared for it. Listed below are the things you must know and have when camping.

Protect Your Tissue

When in the wild, the weather can be temperamental and a quick rain can easily drench your paper towels. So, how to protect them? Easy, just repurpose a plastic coffee can—the Folgers plastic container is perfect for this. Just, make a vertical slit on the side of the can, where the piece of tissue comes out for easy access. You can also add a piece of tie in there for easy hanging of your waterproof tissue dispenser.

Tick Deterrent

As we have mentioned above, the great outdoors can be host to many disease carrying insects. So protect yourself against Lyme disease carrying ticks with this easy to make spray. Just mix 2 parts water and 1 part tea tree oil in a spray bottle. Spray these on pant cuffs, socks, shoes, and entrance to your tent. Repeat this process daily just before wearing your gear and going out on your daily activities.  

Get to Know Poisonous Plants

As I have mentioned before, there are poisonous plants in the wild and by just brushing your skin against these leaves; it can cause an allergic reaction. Further, to eliminate any worrying, get to know the poisonous plants in the area, as some of these may not be around your geographical location—so there is no actual need to worry. One of the best ways to protect yourself is through prevention by getting to know these poisonous plants.

Water Repellant Clothing

When going camping, the type of clothing best used and packed are water repellant because even though it repels water, the material is still breathable which allows air circulation.  

Layer Your Clothes

When camping the best way to be ready for any temperature change is to layer on clothing. You can just remove layers of clothes if it is too warm or pile on clothes to keep you warm during inclement weather.  

Sunblock

When you are outdoors, do not forget to protect your skin with sunblock. Likewise have protection for your eyes with an appropriate sunglass and an appropriate lip balm for your lips.  

Waterproof your Shoes

If you are wearing canvas shoes during camping, you can easily waterproof them by covering it with beeswax. Do this by rubbing beeswax all over your shoes. Once it is sufficiently covered with beeswax, blows dry your shoes. This will melt the beeswax and create a transparent shield all around your shoes.

Happy vacation!
