What to do when you go camping

Many families who are fond of the outdoors will pack up their gear and go camping during the holidays.
Camping is not easy and is not for everyone and it is usually the little things that come to bug you the most.

Here are some things to keep in mind to prevent your camping trip from turning into a nightmare:
• Pack plenty of mosquito and other bug repellents.
• Pick a campsite wisely, stay away from dangerous areas or places that will be full of other campers.
• Bring earplugs – noisy neighboring campers tend to ruin a good night’s sleep
• Bring plenty of water
• Bring plenty of entertainment, there won’t be WiFi so bring card and board games.
• Bring your won lighting – a dark campsite is dangerous and someone is bound to fall and hurt themselves when going out at night
• Bring our own fire wood
• Keep a first-aid kit – small accidents tend to happen on these trips so ensure to bring plasters, antiseptic creams, anti-nausea tablets, anti-diarrhoeal medicine, water purification tablets, cotton swabs, hand sanitiser, pain pills, antihistamines, tweezers, eye drops.
