Prep II
So now you’ve got your destination picked out I hope. What’s next?
What time of year are you going?
Who is going with you?
Who is responsible for cooking?
What kind of gear do you already have?
Where will you be sleeping?
What is the normal temp range during this time of yes in this location?
What possible severe weather situations occur where you are going?
What is the limit of severe weather you are willing to live with before you pack up and go home?
All very, very important questions when planning a trip particularly if you are camping with inexperienced and/or young campers.
For people in their 20-40’s who have been camping several times you can pack lighter and not sweat the small stuff…but if you are going with complete novices and/or young children the amount of gear you bring increases exponentially.
You have to take some time and consider all eventualities and be as prepared as possible to avoid the novices and children from having a bad time and never wanting to go camping again.
