Preparing for a Family Camping Trip - with Yeomans

Preparing for a Family Camping Trip - First Aid Kit

It technically counts as part of the equipment, but campers should never underestimate the usefulness and valuableness of a good first aid kit, especially when going on a family camping trip. The larger the party is, the more important it is to have kit that covers all the basics and more. Young children are prone to picking up scrapes and scratches from all manner of things, so parents would be safe to assume that accidents are a very distinct possibility; depending on where you’re going, you won’t necessarily have access to first aid and therefore need to supply the plasters, insect repellent, bandages, disinfectant and any personal medications you or your family might need. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk

Preparing for a Family Camping Trip - The Right Clothes

It’s not easy catering for everyone, especially if you’re a big family to begin with, but bringing along the right clothing for a camping trip is absolutely crucial. For one thing, the right clothing will help to keep parents and children alike both warm and dry throughout the evenings, which is very important given how cold it can get when there’s only a thin layer of cloth to protect you from the elements! When you camp, you unfortunately have to give yourself over to the incredibly variable weather and attempt to be prepared for all conditions, from the blazing sun to sheets of frozen rain. Waterproofs are an absolute must even if the forecast is good, and you should also ensure that everyone is fitted with the right shoes. When camping, you need to account for rougher terrain that won’t suit trainers or flimsier shoes and everyone will benefit from a sturdier pair suited for walking. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk

Preparing for a Family Camping Trip - The Right Equipment

Camping as a family leaves you with a few options; you can either share a single tent or split your group into two, perhaps one for the parents and one for the children for example. Regardless of what you decide, you must ensure that the tent is both the right size and is waterproof. It’s easy enough to buy a single skin tent thinking that it’s waterproof only to have the rain leak through during a night’s downpour. If you have to buy a tent for the trip, ask a professional to help you identify which tents are the best size and the best quality; remember that you often have to go a bit larger just so you have some storage space for your luggage and the rest of your equipment. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

Preparing for a Family Camping Trip

If you’re going camping with the family for the first time this year, there are certain things you need to make sure you have covered to ensure the best trip possible. No matter where you’re going, whether you’re braving it out in the wilds or simply taking it to a family-friendly campsite, it’s important to be prepared for anything. After all, there are children to account for and there will be limited access to the things you formerly took for granted. Let’s look at some of the key things you’ll need to cover for a successful family camping trip. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

Great Gadgets for Caravanning - Portable Washing Machine

When you go on holiday the last thing on your mind is chores; that’s completely understandable. However, a portable washing machine gives you the convenience of being able to keep your clothes fresh and clean with minimal hassle. For example, a portable washing machine would definitely come in handy if you go out walking and the rain contributes to your clothes being caked in mud. If you were camping traditionally, you’d probably have to stick the offending clothes into a bin bad to wash when you get back home to your appliances. There’s an extra bonus to be found here, too: with a washing machine on the caravan, you don’t need to take as much clothes as you would usually. You can just wash them and re-wear them. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

Great Gadgets for Caravanning - Insulated Storage Kitchen Unit

An insulated kitchen unit is a perfect gadget when it comes to transporting and storing food. Taking along the right kinds of foods and avoiding as many perishable items as possible can be a bit of a pain to say the least, but an insulated storage kitchen unit is compact and multi-purpose so it’s no longer an issue; you just pop it away in the car and forget about it. Even better, the top table can be used either as a work surface or a small cooking area, and the size would perfectly suit a camp kitchen, which can sometimes get a bit busy. The best thing, though, is the insulation aspect. It’s hard to keep food cool without a refrigerator at the best of times, but the storage unit will keep the food in good condition whilst providing plenty of space for storage in the first place. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk/

GREAT GADGETS FOR CARAVANNING - SOLAR PANELS

Solar panels are everywhere nowadays, even on people’s houses, so what purpose do they plan in caravanning? Caravans are fitted with a 12v system that allows the water pump, toilet flush and so on to function, so as you can imagine it’s incredibly important to keep this running. If the battery goes flat, campers are left without a working 12v system which throws a spanner into the works in a big way. Caravanning enthusiasts, therefore, need to remember to charge up the battery every time they take a trip in order to prevent this from happening. A solar panel, however, gives you the chance to top up your battery any time, no matter how long the trip. You don’t even have to have it professionally fitted; you can keep it free standing if you want. https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning

Great Gadgets for Caravanning

Caravanning is a popular holiday choice, especially amongst people in the UK. It’s a great combination of camping and home comfort, making it a worthwhile opponent to the more traditional holiday of pitching a tent and sleeping on the ground. However, even caravanning has its drawbacks and frustrations, and this in turn has resulted in the development of some handy gadgets that caravanning enthusiasts can make use of to make their trips even more enjoyable and relaxing than before. Let’s take a look at some of the best gadgets to take on a caravanning trip (to follow). https://www.facebook.com/CampingAndCaravanning
