This was one of my first posts about preparing for your camping trip. I wanted to re-release it because I feel there is a lot of good stuff in it. I have learned so much more now so I may have to rewrite it but here it is: Preparing for the trip!
So you’ve decided you want to go camping but you don’t know where to begin?!! The most important part about your trip is where you are going and who you are going with! First, take into consideration the weather. If you are going somewhere hot is there shade or a river? If its cold can you build a camp fire? I also like to look at the pattern of weather one week ahead of time. In Southern California you can have it be 90 degrees one day and tomorrow its 60 degrees- I know 60 degrees isn’t cold for any one else in the United States but for Southern California it is!

I am a girly-girl VERY much so and I plan on keeping it that way- I like myself! But when I’m camping, I still have freak out moments at little bugs and cold weather so from time to time I have to remind myself to get over it! It doesn’t help to sit there and complain about it- DO something about it! Here are some tips on “Preparing for the Unknown” and “I can’t believe that just happened” moments!
– Cold weather? Be prepared! Always look at the weather report where ever you go! I always keep a jacket in my backpack no matter how hot it is! Another idea- get moving! Don’t just Continue reading

Eton Scopion Hand Crank Weather Radio
We just recently purchased this weather radio from REI. THe Eton Scorpion Weather Radio is AMAZING on so many levels! First off, we get NO service where we go and this found a few good stations that came in clear. We were happy to get a range of music that came in- country, hip hop, oldies, rock- it was perfect! It is solar powered and has a hand crank if it runs out of power. Need to charge your cell phone? Continue reading

Ok, now that we’ve covered the big stuff in “Packing Part One…” we can move on to the fun part: clothing, accessories, toiletries, and other stuff! Clothing is mainly divided into two categories: warm weather and cold weather. Now remember- I live in Southern California! I am not experienced with extreme cold weather and I will be the first to admit it BUT I am a wimp and I have been FREEZING on camping trips so let me tell you how I avoid it. Always check the weather on where you’re going ahead of time. Being prepared is the number one thing you can do! I ALWAYS bring a big chunky scarf in my pack no matter what. If you are going into super cold climate invest in a down jacket- they are pricey but totally worth it! Look into Patagonia for a down jacket. They roll up into a pouch and zip up for easy packing.
