When you are packing your backpack for a camping trip, you have to be efficient. There is no sense in packing things in a way that limits the amount of space you have to use or increases the weight of the pack for no particular reason. It's also important to pack things in a way so that the things that you will need more frequently or earlier in the trip are more easily accessible.

Camping in Newfoundland
by Bea April 3rd, 2012 | Camping
One of my friends recently got back from a camping trip to Newfoundland, Canada. To be honest, the idea of going to Newfoundland to camp never really crossed my mind until now. Even now, I am not sure if I would be able to make that trek up there from Boston!
After doing some research and hearing more details from my friend, the thought of making that long car ride up there would be a great thing to do. Whether you are looking for a hill, forest, or lake, there is something out there for you and your family!

In one of my latest articles, I wrote about camping with children, specifically infants. This time I wanted to switch it up a little bit and write about camping with pets.

by Bea January 10th, 2012 | Camping
There is no right time to bring a child with you on your camping trip. Only you can decide when you think that you are ready to take a child camping. For some people that means infancy.

Speaking of pests and animals, what you choose for your site is going

You Get What You Pay For
by Bea December 13th, 2011 | Camping
When it comes to tents, or really anything, you get what you pay for. There are many tents out there and some of them are great, while others are, well, not so great; however, it is all about what you are trying to get out of your tent.
If you are just looking for a summer fling, then by all means, spend 50 dollars on a tent that suits your needs. It is possible to find a tent that cheap that is just what you are looking for. Better yet, it may serve you even longer than your original intentions.
