Outside of hiking, your first camping trip is probably the first experience most people have in the outdoors. It is an amazing starting point that pairs well with just about any other outdoor activity. Popping up a tent, immersing yourself in nature, and relaxing is a great way to spend a weekend. Not to mention having a few drinks around the fire with friends before crawling into a warm sleeping bag for the night. Anytime you head outdoors you should do some planning ahead of time. This is especially true when deciding to head out on your first camping trip. Not checking the weather, improperly packing, picking the wrong campground, and other things can quickly ruin any camping experience. Don't fret because all of this is easy to avoid if you follow the advice I offer in today's episode. Just remember no amount of planning will avoid every mishap, but it will help cut down those odds. Your first camping trip (and all of them really) should be about fun, relaxation, and good times around a fire.
