Look for a Campsite that Allows Cats

People can easily take their cats camping with them just as they would do their dogs but most caravan parks and camping sites do not welcome cats.

Therefore, if they plan to camp with their cat, they should contact the place and ask if cats are allowed.

In case they are not welcome, they will have to camp in a place far from tourist parks. There is no need to worry since the following tips apply for both camping types.

Perhaps, the most challenging thing to do when taking a cat camping is looking for a place to camp.

Bring a first aid kit meant for cats.

Cats are known to be tough and would probably not require surgery if ever they get hurt. Yet, it is still recommended to bring a basic first aid kit designed for a feline pet.

It is just a simple kit, which includes alcohol to clean wounds and bandage to wrap them. It is also a good idea to bring an irrigation solution.

There is nothing needed more than that and cat owners should not pretend to be a vet when camping with their pet.

They just need to put some bandage then bring their cat to a vet as soon as possible. This is the best thing to do if ever it is more than a small cut.

Bring a cat tent/playpen.

There are different ways to secure a cat during camping like bringing an enclosed movable playpen or tent.

A cat can be placed inside a carrier to travel to a campsite and move from one place to another. It is rather unthoughtful and even cruel to leave them inside a small, cramped up space during the whole camping trip.

Cats have a habit of stretching their legs so they need more space to be themselves, the amazing feline friends we love. For this reason, they should have their own tent or a transportable playpen.

When they decide to buy a cat tent like most people do or would rather get a portable playpen, it has to be fully enclosed to prevent their beloved feline from escaping. Nevertheless, they have to make sure that their cat will be able to see their surrounding environment so it would be nice to have lots of mesh.

Since cats love to scratch, it is best to buy a durable scratch pad or this might not last long.

A cat tent/play pen can include pillows, toys, ball of yarn, food, water, treats, a scratching pad and litter box, among others.

Including some of these will let a cat feel more at ease in a confined space.

Make sleeping arrangements for the cat.

It is not that hard to make set a sleeping arrangement for a cat and there are 3 alternatives.

• Make them sleep inside their own tent or playpen.

• Place them inside a cat carrier.

• Let them sleep inside the tent with their human companion.

Each choice has its own pros and cons but this will really have to depend on a cat’s temperament and what will make their pet feel most comfortable.

People can try all alternatives to see which is best for them and their pussy.

Termite Fumigation can cause some serious problems for certain individuals with Asthma and Allergies. Vikane is the usual chemical treatment method for dry wood termite problems. It is a gas that is used in relation to tenting homes for termites. What this means it that your entire home will be sealed under a covering that looks like a tent. Then they pump Vikane Gas aka Sulfuryl Fluoride inside and circulate it with fans for one day. The next day, the tent is taken off, and the house is aired out till the Vikane Gas is at safe levels to enter. It is safe to go back inside by the third day. Usually people worry themselves about termite fumigation and think that the gas will stick to furniture and counter tops, but the truth is none of this happens with Sulfuryl Fluoride Gas and it has been proven that after the house has been aired, the little amount of gas that remains is completely safe for human breathing.

The preceding statement is what the Termite Industry would have you believe is the total truth. I have had several clients who have severe allergies who could not go into a Sulfuryl Fluoride Gas fumigated house for over two months because they started having allergy problems as soon as they walked into the house. Most people who have allergies are very sensitive to this gas and must be very careful to avoid it till it totally dissipates in the home. Two months is the longest I have seen in 15 years but I am sure there is the exception.

Is there any way to rid your house of dry-wood termites other than fumigation? There are safer methods of killing Termites than using Sulfuryl Fluoride Gas. The methodology is the same, they tent the house, then they pump heat in instead of Vikane. This is a much safer alternative and you can go into the house the same day they remove the tent over the house. This heat treatment works good, it does have its problems but is safer than Sulfuryl Fluoride Gas which is toxic to people. The good thing is that the cost is about the same.

In conclusion, Termite Fumigation has serious problems for some individuals with Asthma and Allergies. I have personally known several individuals who were allergic to Vikane Gas residuals in homes up to two months after it was fumigated. There are safer alternatives such as Heat Treatments for Termites. The cost is similar in both cases. It is important that you check out all the alternatives before you make up your mind. Talk to the Professionals of both types of treatments and get the right answers for your case. If you feel that you have been affected by Vikane Gas, consult with your Doctor immediately.

You may have seen a yurt and not known what the circular tent was called. Originally the dwellings for nomad herders in Central Asia, they are now popping up in back yards and campgrounds across North America.

Also known as a ger, the yurt is a practical form of housing used in Mongolia, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan for hundreds of years by nomadic people. They require grazing land for their sheep, so they must uproot their homes and move to greener pastures whenever the grasses in one area have been cropped to the ground. The yurt can be disassembled, loaded onto a horse, camel or yak, transported to fresh grazing land, and set up again in a timely manner.

Constructed of felted wool on a wooden lattice frame, the yurt’s roof is supported by poles. Some of these round shaped tents may also have walls that are covered with canvas, which helps protect against foul weather. The design is easy to insulate to keep out the winter cold and on hot summer days the wall coverings may be rolled up to allow a cooling breeze to blow through.

Partly because of the above practical reasons, and partly because of their appealing shape, yurts have recently become popular in Europe, the USA and Canada. One may often find them being used as spaces for yoga exercising, meditation, as art studios, bodywork and aromatherapy rooms, and other purposes of a New Age or spiritual nature. People who promote yurts say they are not only economical and environmentally responsible to build, but they also have an intangible aura that makes them feel like special places. It has even been suggested that their absence of corners and sharp angles makes it impossible for evil spirits or negative energy to hide inside.

First adopted in the Pacific Northwest areas of Washington, Oregon and Northern California, yurts as unique accommodations have moved east through the mountain and plains states to the Atlantic coast. Many state campgrounds now offer yurts for rent to campers on vacation. While some of them are no-frills tents without any amenities, others come stocked like round hotel rooms with hot and cold running water, electricity, and even wireless internet connectivity.

The popularity of yurts in the western world has even spread back to their area of origin. Now there are some adventure tourism operators in Mongolia who offer fully equipped yurts as housing for travelers from around the world who want to experience the traditional dwellings as they learn about local culture.

Getting good camping gear can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Everyone that sells sporting equipment has the basics, but few have personnel on staff that can help you find what you need at a price you can afford. Looking online can be just as tricky – you can’t see what you are getting until it’s too late. The best way to get what you need is to know just what that is BEFORE you start the hunt.

TENTS

There is a tent for all seasons, but not all tents will handle all seasons. In other words, you need to know when you will be camping before you buy your tent. You need to buy a tent in preparations for the worst weather you could possibly face.

Summer Tents are typically light-weight with good ventilation. It is specifically for the hot weather camping.

3-season tents are more open with zipper mesh panels for ventilation in the warmer weather. They are designed for use in the spring, summer, and fall in temperate areas. Although they can do a good job protecting against wind and rain, they are not designed to hold up the weight of snow.

4-season tents are for the serious winter camper. They are stronger and hold up to strong winds and the weight of snow. They do not offer as much mesh for ventilation (a HUGE factor when it comes to hot weather camping) and they are typically the more expensive of the tent varieties.

COOKING GEAR

The way that you are going to cook will probably depend on whether you are hiking to your camp destination or driving up to it. A camp stove can be rough if you are hiking in. Cooking over the open fire does not have to be that difficult if you have the right cookware for the job.

Opening flame cooking is usually done with a grate or grill (to give you a surface to set your cookware on). The very best cookware is cast iron. It’s not light weight, so if you have to hike in to the site then you need to carry as few pieces as possible. This cookware can hold up to what ever you throw at it. Be sure you season it properly before you use it.

SLEEPING BAGS

When it comes to a warm and comfortable nights sleep, down offers the best for weight ratio. The downfall is that if it gets wet, it will take forever to dry and will weigh a ton until it does. Synthetic fill (or waterproof down) is the best choice if you think you might encounter water (condensation or dew). Get a bag rated for 10 degrees COLDER than what you expect to encounter.

This is only beginning, but it will help you get started. The more camping you do, the more time you will want to invest in finding the best gear for your going (and the more money you will probably also invest). Keep in mind that you will probably use your gear the most if it is comfortable and easy to use.

Even if you know the weather forecast during your camping trip, there’s always a chance that it will rain so you always have to come prepared. If it does, the fun doesn’t end there. In fact, there are plenty of ways you can make your stay comfortable and even more fun even though it’s pouring outside. Remember, don’t think of it as an inconvenience, think of it as a challenge!

Try these awesome tips for camping in wet weather:

Invest in the right tent

The outdoors are unpredictable so you always have to be prepared no matter what the weather is. If you plan to go camping during the rainy season, buying a good quality tent with built-in vents. The vents will help prevent condensation inside. If purchasing a new one is out of the question, you can opt to re-proof your old one. Use a tent proofer spray to restore your tent’s ability to repel water.

Bring a gazebo

A gazebo will help greatly when you’re camping in wet weather. It will shelter and protect you, your tent and your gear from the rain. This means that you can still enjoy being outside of your tent without getting wet.

Think about storage

Resealable plastic bags will be useful for storing clothes, toiletries and other small items when you’re outdoors. They are waterproof, too, that’s why they’re ideal for the rainy season. Don’t forget to store wet and dry items separately and make sure you have dry clothes to keep you warm when you’re inside the tent. Seal food items tightly to keep them fresh and to avoid water from getting in.

Don’t forget to protect yourself

Your gear is all set, but you also need the right clothing and accessories for yourself – nobody wants to catch a cold and be unable to enjoy while out on an outdoor trip. Arm yourself with a waterproof jacket, trousers and boots. Keep bug repellants ready (many tend to come out in wet weather) and pack a microfiber towel – they’re compact, absorbent and dries quickly.

Plan fun activities

There are still some fun outdoor activities you can do even when it’s pouring. Play board games, bring out the guitar or tell ghost stories with kids to keep them entertained.

Camping in the rain doesn’t have to be a hassle – with the right gear and attitude, you’re still sure to have a memorable trip!

A lot of campers get their first taste of camping when they go a music festival such as Glastonbury. Thousands go to these events every year, taking basic camping gear with them. Lots of camping outlets now produce and sell specialised camping packs for music festivals which consist of a two-person tent, two sleeping bags, two camping mats with a lantern and stove chucked in.

 

You often have this vision that camping at a festival means roughing it without washing. In part this is true; a staggering fact is that many of people who camp at a music festival actually abandon all their camping gear in the mud when it is time to go home. This is due I believe in the sudden rush of when it is over, folk just wish to leave as quickly as possible.

 

Another big issue at music festivals is crime, predominantly theft. Many a time I have friends tell me that after seeing their favourite act they have gone back to their tent and it has either been hijacked by some unscrupulous person or the contents have been removed in their entirety. What has become very popular now is Day-Glo paint to personalise your tent to make it stand out from the hundreds even thousands of other tents. There are even tent suppliers in the UK that offer a tent package where you can paint your own tent, it may seem a novel idea but it does have a serious use.

 

You do have to take precautions when camping at festivals; it can either give you the camping bug or turn you off for life. Never leave anything of value in your tent, if there is a large group of you going and you all have different tastes in music then try and arrange a rota. So if half you want to go and see one act the half stay at the tent till they return and vice-versa.

 

There are other options than camping at the festival, you can stay in a local bed and breakfast if camping is not your scene, but camping at the festival is certainly the cheapest way to stay at one of these music events and for me it only adds to the overall experience. Glastonbury and the other large festivals have experienced high crime rate within the last ten years. Due to their increased popularity, police presence has also increased, so I do believe that they are a safer environment now. For example one of my friends takes his young children to Glastonbury every year and he swears by it saying that it is a great place to take your family. A bit different from all of the horror stories that used to turn up in the tabloids about drugs and persistent thefts.

If you’re taking a trip outdoors, the most important thing to keep in mind is: Be prepared. Even if the weather forecast says that it will be mostly sunny on the date of your camping trip, know that the great outdoors is a very unpredictable place and it could rain any time.

For your comfort and safety, it’s better to come prepared and bring some important things so that your trip won’t be ruined even if the weather changes.

Here are 4 important things to remember to prepare for camping in the rain:

Bring layers for your clothing

No matter what weather it is, always bring rain gear and clothing with you. A sweater (preferably polyester or wool), a poncho or a water-proof jacket and a pair of wool socks are essentials. If you have extra space in your luggage, you can add some rain boots. These are all important in keeping you warm when it starts to drizzle – keep in mind that it can get very cold outdoors, especially at night!

Waterproof your tent

Before your trip, make sure that you spray your tent with waterproofing spray. You can also use a seam sealer to seal your tent’s seals for extra protection. Rainy or not, do these things occasionally as part of your tent maintenance.

If you can, it’s better to invest in a 4-season tent which is designed for all types of weather. If this is currently out of your budget, you can get one with a proper rainfly that completely covers the windows and all mesh vents.

Pack a waterproof bag

When you go to camp, pack important stuff inside a waterproof bag. Place your valuables here, add some dry clothes, some snacks, some food (for meals) that don’t need to be cooked and some entertainment in case you get stuck inside your tent. This way, your valuables are protected, you’ll have dry clothes, food to eat and something to do when rain gets everything else wet.

Tarps tarps tarps

Tarps can be very useful around the campsite, they’re also very handy for unexpected rain. Bring extra tarps (plus rope or paracord) to put over your tent, under your tent and on the floor inside your tent so you won’t have to sleep on wet ground. You can also use a tarp to cover your dry wood and kindling.

Don’t let the rain ruin your fun outdoors – follow these tips for camping in the rain!

When beginning your decision process on going backpacking you would think that your tent and other gear is most important. However, there is something that is more imperative that you do first. You can look at gear and different weights of tents, but if you are not physically fit then the weight of your tent is going to be irrelevant. For this reason instead of starting out with selecting tents, the different fabrics, etc. I have decided to begin with preparing for the hike. In future articles you will find information on tents, fabrics, and other essential information. It would be great to say go out, buy a tent and go backpacking. However that would leave out the preparation stage. It would be like constructing a building without a blueprint. Let me provide you with some of the ground work.

One of the greatest ways to be prepared is to get physically fit and stay in shape. Physically fit includes getting a clean bill of health from your doctor including but not limited to the condition of your heart. This is vital because once out in the wilderness there will not be an option to call 911. Do not think that you can strengthen yourself physically on the day of your hike, because you will be greatly disappointed finding out you cannot endure the hike. Whether you are a beginner or are experienced in conditioning make sure you have stretching as part of your routine to avoid injuries when exercising. For those of you who are not in shape, begin slowly by creating a routine for exercise. Walking, swimming, cardiovascular, and weights are a great place to start. For all backpackers do not lose sight of the importance of your preparation for the hike.

This includes the comfort of the backpack you will be carrying. Insure that the backpack you are purchasing will be a good fit. Start off by making your backpack five pounds heavier than what you expect to carry on the hike. Now put the pack on your back and walk for several miles, maybe around your neighborhood to see the comfort level. Once satisfied repeat the same exercise again, but this time by going for a day hike on a trail and see if you get the same satisfaction.

Take further precautionary measures in your training for possible adversities that you may encounter out in the back country. Observe how you lift because improper lifting can cause injury, always lift with your legs. Your backpack is a piece of equipment you will lift often. Slinging it onto your back can cause injury. Instead, try having your companion hold the pack while you slide your arms into the shoulder straps. If you are going solo then find a place to set your pack down, for example on a stump. Then squat down, put your arms through the shoulder straps and then stand using your legs. Our next article will contain essential information and first aid tips while on the trail.
