Nobody is born as an experienced camper or hiker. There are times when I can hardly stand the hectic atmosphere of small towns.
Ensure that you are aware of insect bites and stings, plants and weeds that may cause allergic reactions, exposure to various climactic conditions. Carrying your maps and compass in water proof containers is very essential while on a camping trip. Hiking not only physically stimulates you, but mentally as well.
The first time I took camping equipment outdoor on a rock climbing trip, I found this out the hard way. Stocking up on food ration will be required especially on long trips and it is always better to carry a little extra especially when camping with children. These things will provide you with some of the necessities while hiking.
You will also not want to forget the flashlights for times where you will be going off and venturing away from your car. Boots must be water repellent or have a protective coating to keep them from absorbing water. Comfortable hiking shoes are a must during hiking.
The gear can run you some bucks, but the cost is nominal compared to most other sports. Camping is also a way for families to bond and for children to nurture new friendships.
