A Campfire Ring

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011


For a lot of people the heart of a camping trip is the fire, as everyone gathers and another day of adventure draws to a close. It is designed to make it easy to create that great piece of camping tradition. For experienced campers they will more than likely make their own ring by using a shovel to dig a pit and put stones at the edge. Before making any fire local regulations should be adhered to especially in area where forest fires are a dangerous hazard.

At its most basic, a camp fire ring is a circular piece of metal, which will confine the flames a fire to provide safety. These can also be found with much more elaborate designs sometimes including camping sayings about the old traditions of sitting around the old camp fire.

Others incorporate certain cooking facilities and other equipment is also designed to cook food by using the fire of a camp. Portable ones are very useful for those combining walking with camping, as they are very lightweight but still do the job intended. Even static campgrounds will provide rings; in this case, they are usually more heavy duty, often steel. Concrete is a good option for the yard, and will last for very many years as well as being very cheap to make.

Planning Your Family Camping Trip

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Camping is a good way to spend time alone with your kids and to show them how wonderful nature can be. There are so many things to be discovered: flowers, insects, birds, and small animals just to name a few. Younger kids love getting dirty and experiencing the wild life. Kids really love the outdoors if given the chance. It gives them time to get away from all the electronics of today’s culture. One thing I have learned is the younger children love to go exploring. Camping can be a wonderful adventure for kids and adults.

When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking canoeing, swimming, boating, and bicycling to name a few. Select a camping spot that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Remember there is always a campground that will have some or all of the activities you will be seeking. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, kids love to choose what they want to eat. Doing all the planning as a family, keeps the kids interested and feeling like they are a part of the entire process.

When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own items. Each person should have their own sleeping bag with a duffle bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bag. Encourage the kids to put their items in a certain place and always return it when finished using it. This will help them keep track of their personal belongings. In addition, this rule applies for all camping equipment and supplies. Packing all the camping supplies as a family will teach the kids where every item should be stored. Better to know where something is, than spend valuable time looking for it.

When the planning for the trip is complete and you have arrived at your campsite, make all the camping choirs a family activity, this will also help teach children the importance of team-work. Everyone can have their own jobs sitting up the campsite. The younger ones can put the stakes in the ground while the older one’s support the tent. Everyone should pick out their spot in the tent and arrange it to meet their needs. Meal time can be a fun time. We all know kids love to help with the preparation of meals.

Although all of the holiday can create memories, memories that can be created with your family camping trips are numerous and will be cherished in a life time . By planning interesting and fun camping trip with your kids while they are young will put them on a path to a lifetime of outdoor activities.
