Leave your campsite with 3 thing

Many activities that can be done during holiday or weekend with family.

Camping is one of the most fun and relaxing activities you can do. It brings you closer to nature and allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But once your camping bliss nears the end and it is time to pack up and go home, you need to understand how to break camp without ruining the camping experience for the next group.

Although breaking camp does not have to be difficult, there are some things that should always be done before you head home and leave the campsite.

1. Pick Up The Trash - There is nothing worse than arriving at a campsite that is full of trash left by the previous campers. Although it is never "fun" to pick up trash, you should always take the time to do it. Try not to leave a trace that you were even at the campsite. It is the polite thing to do.

2. Put The Campfire Out - Making sure the campfire is out is one of the most important things you can do before you leave the campsite. Forest fires are serious and you don't want to have to live with that burden on your conscience. Use the excess water from your cooler or find another water source, but just make sure that the fire has been completely extinguished before you leave.

3. Do A Final Walk Around - It only takes a few minutes, but it can save you many hours if you have to make another trip back to the campground because you left something behind. Simply look around after you have packed up everything and make sure there is nothing that you may have forgotten to pack.

Camping can be a fun and memorable experience. Don't spoil it by forgetting to do these simple tasks before you head back to civilization. Keep your campsite a clean and desirable destination for all of your fellow campers!

4 Man Tent - How to Sleep Comfortably

Anyone who has ever purchased a 4 man tent knows that it isn't always comfortable trying to sleep 4 people in them. It's a really cramped fit in some cases. Usually the first person to fall asleep in the tent, is the one who is the most well rested by morning. If you happen to miss being the first camper to sleep, here are some tips to help you get a restful night's sleep.

If you haven't purchased a tent yet, then you're at an advantage, because you can shop around, and compare the square footage of the tents. When considering tents, you also want to make account for the ceiling or height of the roof. Don't just look at the center peak height, also look at the height from the sides of the tent.

Many first time campers complain about the space after they've purchased a 4 man tent. They report that the four man tent rarely comfortably sleeps four people. So my advice is use the four man tent for two or three campers if you're hiking, and use it for four people if you're traveling to the campsite by car.

If it is a car camping trip, then advise everyone to leave their supplies and gear inside the car. Only allow sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and inflatable mattresses inside the tent to make use of all the space efficiently.

If you're on a backpacking, or hiking trip, then it would be moderately uncomfortable trying to get 4 people inside the tent, with all the food and gear. I've read countless reviews, of travelers complaining about this very issue. A lot of readers see that a tent may have a center height of 4 or 5 feet, and feel this adequate for their needs. They don't take into consideration that the sides slope, and the corners of the tents basically are unusable, which really lowers the useable square footage of the floor.

If you're on car camping trip, you can fit four people inside, but you have to be strategic. The way you align your bodies inside the tent, will make all the difference. Angle your bodies starting with all four heads in one corner. Spread out like a pyramid from the one corner, adjusting your bodies to fit. Everyone's head should be facing the same direction. Adjust bodies according to height, and everyone should have enough space.
