Fire And Water: The Most Important Things For Camping!

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....
When it comes to taking a camping trip, there are plenty of things you will need to make sure you remember to bring with you, but regardless of whether you are going backpacking into the middle of nowhere or are simply taking a camping trip with your family, the two most important things you will need while camping are fire and water.

There is a good chance you will be spending a lot more time outdoors than your body is used to when you take a camping trip - which also means that you will be exerting yourself physically a lot more than you are used to. When you take a camping trip, it is easy for you to become dehydrated, and you will not realize that this is the case until you are already sick; because of this, it is important to stay extra hydrated while you are camping, and the best way to do so is to always have water with you. When you embark on your camping adventure, make sure you have a Camelbak Hydration Pack, as this will allow you to easily sip on water throughout the day; also, you should always keep a Nalgene bottle with you as well, so that you will have a backup supply of water.

You should always bring matches with you when you go camping, as this will be the easiest way to start a fire, but you should also bring a backup means by which you can start a fire; by bringing a Scout Model Swedish Firesteel with you, you will be able to make a fire even if your matches get wet!

Finally, make sure you keep in mind the fact that you might encounter wet wood, which means that you will need some dry tinder to help your fire get started; consider keeping a baggie of dried leaves and grass in your pack at all times, or keep some Tinder Quik Fire Starters on you.

As long as you take these steps, you should have no problem ensuring that you are fully supplied with the fire and the water that are both so important for camping!
