Camping
is not an easy task for beginners, and those of us who are slightly less
experienced than others sometimes need a few pointers to help us get started in
the right direction. This article of camping tips for amateur campers was a
great source of information.
Essentially,
the article covers a few basics of camping in three sections dedicated to
general outdoor tips, supplies that you should bring on the trip, and how you
should budget for each trip that you go on. It did not go into great detail,
but it did give some basic pointers about preparing for your trip, pitching a
tent, how to dress, and skills that you should have to be categorized as a “seasoned
camper”. The author gives you a list of some of the most important equipment to
bring, and what should cost you the most to the least in your budget.
For
people who have never formally been camping, such as myself, the article was a
useful overview of the materials, planning and expenses put into a camping
trip. It was not extremely detailed, so I would read more on the subject, but
it at least gave me an idea of the sorts of things I will need to be prepared
for the camping trip. I enjoyed learning what often separates an amateur camper
(me!) and a seasoned camper, and this made me reflect on what I can do on my
own to improve my skills and my knowledge before I actually go camping.
I
would recommend to anyone looking for beginner camping advice to read this
article, but to do some more in-depth research as well to look into some of the
concepts mentioned with more detail.
