Do You Love to Camp?

Camping is perhaps one of America’s favorite past times. It’s something that really builds a lasting impression on you and your children. Your children’s experiences growing up will drastically shape their childhood and as such these fond memories will help make them the people that they become in adulthood. Besides, there’s a lot to be said about going camping. It’s nice just to get away from the city or the urban setting and spend time outdoors with nature. And luckily living in Texas, we have a variety of places to go camping. You can go to the forest of East Texas, the beaches of the Gulf Coast, the sand dunes of Monahans, or the scenic area of Big Bend. This is just to name a few. When it comes to camping in Texas, the options are unlimited.

Camping Supplies

Depending on how long and where you go camping, will determine what you need to pack. There are a lot of supplies that you need when you go camping. A tent is, of course, a main supply that needs to be packed. Tents come in several sizes, and you will need one spacious enough to accommodate your whole family. This means that you need a fairly large tent that will be comfortable for five or six people to reside in no matter the weather outside. You also need a few coolers. If you’re camping for a long period of time, you want to make sure to have enough provisions and drinks to last you the entire trip. So, for this, you need no less than two coolers. You also need a couple tarps to lay on the ground for your tent or to block you from the sun. You also need a couple of totes to keep items such as food preparation items, paper plates, cups, a Coleman stove, forks for cooking s’mores or roasting weenies, fuel, etc. The list can go on, this will depend on family size, preferences, location. And all this doesn’t even include the miscellaneous items such as lanterns, hammocks, chairs, or tables.

The Right Vehicle for Your Camping Trip

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...
