Camping Safety Tips You Need to Know

April 24, 2017 in Entertainment

The hot days of summer are coming and that means that it is time for camping. Families love to get away for a weekend or even a family two-week vacation. While camping is a lot of fun, there are some precautions you should take.

Wild Animals– Many camping spots are surrounded by wooded areas, which means you may encounter a wild animal such as bears, mountain lions, cougars and coyotes. You want to avoid getting near wild animals and do not feed them either. You can watch them at a distance while they are in their natural environment.

 

Mosquitos– Oh those pesky mosquitos! You are trying to enjoy a nice campfire but instead you find yourself swatting mosquitos left and right. Mosquitos may carry the West Nile Virus, so it is important that before you head out to the campfire, spray everyone with bug spray that contains DEET. DEET is designed to deter and repel mosquitos.

Sun Protection– It is important to wear sunscreen when you are outdoors in the summer. Even if it is an overcast day outside, your skin can still get sunburned in a short period of time.

Campfires- Campfires are great for roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories or just relaxing with family. However, they can also be dangerous if you don’t take a few precautions. Make sure the fire pit is not on grass or close to trees, bushes and shrubs. Never use things like diesel fuel, lighter fluid or gasoline to start a campfire, as these may cause serious injuries. Also, always keep a pail of water close by, just in case of emergency.

Swimming– Depending on where you are camping, there may be a lake or river. If you plan on going swimming, be sure you check the weather forecast first since weather conditions can change rapidly. Also, be sure to swim only in designated areas, usually marked off with ropes and buoys and enter the water feet first, rather than diving in, until you know the water’s depth.

    Mosquitoes are bad news around here. They are always the source of West Nile and EEE in the summer.

    Mosquitos around here can lift and carry you off. 🙂 All kidding aside, we have to take extra creams due to the allergy effect of mosquito bites on my skin. They can turn into welts in minutes.

    My boyfriend and I love camping! As I learned the hard way, mosquitoes are no joke! I once went camping with just a little patch of skin showing between my jeans and my socks, and after being up late telling stories with friends around the fire, I woke up the next morning with blown up ankles full of bites from the little mosquito buggers! Now I know bug spray is necessary thing.

    Mosquitoes love me. They see me and think that I am a tasty snack. I will need to take extra care when we go camping. We are planning to do some of it this summer, if we can get it all worked out.

    Very helpful tips about how to make sure your kids are safe when camping especially when you’re not there to look after them. Making a checklist of the things that they need is important so that you know that you have all the safety measures covered.

    I remember wanting to see some animals when we went camping. Not that I would want to run into a bear. Camping can be really fun if you plan ahead and keep safety in mind

    Great tips! I love a good campfire sing along. But please do be careful! My son was accidently set on fire by his cousin a few years back. Very scary! He’s fine now but doesn’t like fire!

    I hate mosquitos! But I also hate bug spray! I always try to find a natural bug repellant but more often than not, they don’t work as well as chemical-filled ones.

    This is perfect. My son and husband are thinking about going camping this year. Neither are really what you would call outdoorsy types. They definitely need some safety tips! I’m worried they’ll get eaten by bears!

    We have a lot of mosquitos in FL, so I always wear something to protect against that. I personally dont like to go in the water if I cant see whats in there LOL, I’m deathly afraid of being eaten by a gator. I love camping though, its such a fun thing to do with friends, or family

“Results over time, not overnight.” Wise words “Results over time, not overnight.” Wise words, mmhmm.  Not sure what it was, but I had a couple of setbacks. And, honestly I think (ok, I KNOW) it had a lot to do with my mindset.  What I realized the most this past year is that I NEED me time. If I do not carve that time out for myself, I start to lose that motivation. Big time!  I recently started working out with a personal trainer once a week to hopefully Inspire me a little more..to push me a little harder...and so far, it is helping! 

So, what do you do to motivate yourself?  What do you do to keep that momentum going?  Help a sister out with some suggestions. I’m listening...
