Yesterday in my post, Camping Simplified, I gave a couple ideas on how to take the ‘difficult’ out of camping with your kids. Here are a couple more to rummage around in.
* When you do your regular grocery shopping pick up the things you’ll need for the camping trip and set them aside when you get home. I’m still working on this one. We usually find ourselves hitting the store on the way out of town. It’s frustrating for the kids because they just want to go Go GO!
*Look for something that will store food in an easy organized way. Fussing with dinner when everything is scattered around camp takes away from the whole experience. Here’s an example of smart storage…The Kelty Duo Bin.
It holds dry food on one side and cold food on the other. When you take the two apart there is a nice workspace in the middle. I haven’t personally used this. If you have let me know. I’d like it to be our next gear purchase. The Kelty Binto Bar
is also a good option for keeping all things ‘kitchen’ in order.
*Don’t overload on the clothes and shoes when packing. Kids and their clothes will get dirty…it’s okay. If you pack light you wash light when you get home.
*It’s okay to forget something. Sometimes it makes for a more memorable trip. Just don’t forget diapers and wipes!!!
If you have other ideas this is the place to share it. Leave a comment!
