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.
