With so many magazines, websites, and buddies telling you which type and kind of camping equipment and gear to choose from when planning to head outdoors it could be enough to make your head burst! Well, our latest article will help making the decision-making process a lot less complicated and much more pleasant:
For many couples, spending a night out in the wilderness or a weekend in the woods camping is their idea of a romantic getaway. Unfortunately, most camping equipment available on the market today is built for the isolation of individuals out in the wild and not necessarily the fostering of a couple’s want to spend the time together.
Beyond the two room tents and large camping furniture that has come about slowly over the last couple decades, one of the more popular pieces of camping equipment that has come about over the last decade or so is the couple’s dual sleeping bag. This piece of equipment negates the need to try to zip a pair of sleeping bags together or create some sort of sleeping nest of blankets to ensure a couple can cuddle under the stars together.
Not only is the dual sleeping bag a great option space wise, but the extra insulation around many dual sleeping bags keeps the people inside of the coverings extra warm, which can be a great feature for a cold night out in the wild. So, next time you and your significant other want to plan a getaway to the great outdoors, consider investing in a dual sleeping bag.
That’s right. You can be in the greatest location on earth for hunting, fishing, picnicking, or camping, but if you don’t have the right equipment with you, you aren’t going to enjoy any of it…regardless of “hardcore” you may consider yourself. Check out our latest article which brings up some excellent points:
For many people who love to camp, the thought of cooking one’s food over a hand built open fire at the campsite is a nostalgic thought. Many people who have camped with open fires and tried to cook over them have often come back from their camping trip with stories of consuming under or over cooked food and often are ill for part of the trip or afterwards.
To prevent coming ill from poorly cooked foods, anyone planning on preparing a meal on a camping trip should use a camping stove. Besides the convenience of having a piece of equipment that will practically heat up as you need it to, the even heat produced by the camping stove (as well as the enclosure over your cooking meals) will allow your food to be prepared without the risk of the meal being tainted or undercooked.
In addition, a camping stove is a great way to prepare a meal that you otherwise would not be able to cook on a campfire. Stoves are great for making great prepared meat dishes, vegetables, and other foods that you could grill out in your own backyard. The inexpensive price of camping stoves and the ease of refilling the fuel supply make it a cheap and convenient way to have a wonderfully cooked meal on your next camping trip.
There you are, enjoying an awesome camping trip over the long weekend with your buddies, when all of a sudden one of you falls and suffers a cut. Well, not that you’ll bleed to death, but you can get a very nasty infection that could lead to a very bad and potentially limb-amputating infection (sorry, I’m not trying to get all “doom and gloom” on you). Well, here’s what to do in the case of suffering a wound:
First thing you want to do is stop the bleeding, which can easily be done by applying direct pressure to the wound with a clean piece of cloth, cotton, a towel, etc. Just make sure it’s not a prized possession of yours! I wouldn’t trust OxyClean to get that blood stain out.
You also need to clean the wound to avoid bacteria and germs from continuing to infest the area. You’ll want to use a method called irrigation, which you can do by placing some warm water in a syringe and squirting the area until it is completely cleaned. Once that’s done, apply a dressing to the area to keep it from being exposed to more germs.
Again, like I’ve mentioned before, you never know what may happen when you go on your next hiking trip you go to to enjoy you newest camping gear, so be prepared.
Eldorado’s National Forest’s system that affects travel routes that includes native surface roads and trails for non-licensed vehicles will soon allow more recreational activities to take place…..which means more opportunities to put your camping equipment and gear to use!
All motorized travel will be limited to designated areas under a new plan that was announced by the Forest’s Travel Management Plan. The new system will comply with the 1989 Eldorado National Forest Land and Resource Plan to keep motorized vehicles on designated routes.
Sounds like a good time to take your truck tent and have a good time outdoors!
