| Home | Typical Practices The following are some typical practices that are second nature to seasoned campers but might not be so obvious to the rest of the populace. Book Your Site Always book your site as soon as you can. On the interior there are not many sites and they fill up fast. You can usually sign up 5 months in advance. Bring a Tarp Always bring a tarp and some rope. By tying the tarp up to the trees, you can essentially make a rain shelter which is essential in case it rains during your stay. Always make sure the tarp is tilted to one side so the water drains instead of pooling. The best play for this is near or above your fire pit as this will keep the area around it dry making it easier to make a fire later. Pack More Than You Need Obviously when backcountry camping you should pack lightly since you have to carry everything you pack, but you shoulw always pack more food than you need. This is because you may misjudge how much you eat and end up with to little. Its also good in a worse case scenario situation as the food will last you longer until help can arrive. Hang You Food From a Tree Hanging your food from a tree is essential to keeping the wildlife off your campsite. If it is not properly stowed, it can attract all sorts of pests and even in some instances bears. Continue to Equipment |
