5 Camping Tools I Never Used, Despite Thinking I Would!

Camping is a fun and exciting activity that allows you to explore the outdoors and connect with nature. However, it can also be challenging if you are not fully prepared with the right tools and equipment. Oftentimes, people tend to overpack and bring items that they never end up using. Here are five camping tools that you may think you need, but you probably won’t end up using.

Church with a View

My town has a church where I had the pleasure of walking through the doors. Now this is a modern-day church and in a time where we are building a big mega church, this is really not that. It is a modern look with real taste and not just a square box.

So you would think it would stop that but when you walk into the sanctuary of the church you are faced with floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the woods behind the church. Now being the outdoorsy person that I am, this warmed my heart.

In a time we try to build a thing that takes away our woods and nature, it is good to see someone trying to not only blend in but show off instead of taking away.

Winter Prep For Spring Camping

Winter may seem like an unlikely time to think about camping, but it can actually be a great opportunity to prepare for your springtime outdoor adventures. There are a few things you can do during the winter months to ensure that you’re ready for your next camping trip.

Firstly, you can use the winter months to research potential camping locations. Look for campgrounds that are open in the spring and summer months, and read reviews from other campers to get an idea of what to expect. You can also research hiking trails and other outdoor activities in the area to plan your itinerary.

Secondly, use the winter months to check and repair your camping gear. Inspect your tent, sleeping bags, and other camping equipment for any signs of wear and tear, and make any necessary repairs. This will ensure that your gear is in good condition and ready to use when you head out into the wilderness.

Finally, you can use the winter months to plan out your meals and snacks for your camping trip. Research easy camping recipes that you can make ahead of time and pack with you, and stock up on non-perishable snacks like trail mix, granola bars, and dried fruit.

By taking these steps during the winter months, you’ll be well-prepared for your spring camping trip and can enjoy the great outdoors with ease and comfort.
