First Camptrip Review

-
Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:




 
Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much



I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger



I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag



I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it


  
Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome



A truck would make camping easier



Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them.


I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table



Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable
We LOVE smoores with cookies
Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a good idea for longer term camping

A labradoodle and water side camping is a GREAT mix. This is Bravo our 1 1/2 yr dog

Looks like a great camp kitchen setup. If I'm camping where I don't have access to running water, I take a couple of gallon jugs along to drain the melted ice water from my coolers. I use it to wash hands and dishes.

"Bears are fairly harmless." I spent an entire summer in Rocky Mountain bear country. They are anything but harmless.

Rock Art: Draw a line or spiral with a long stick and collect rocks and pine cones - place on the line in a pattern. Show them a picture of “The spiral Jetty” by Robert Smithson.   Camp Kitchen: Collect cooking gear from the thrift store, see if you can find items on small scale, find a flat rock, log or camp bench and draw in chalk a stove top (two circles with an “X”) Fill a pitcher of water and tell them to go to town making mud pies and cooking them. (keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures.
