tent camping ground rules

Planning a rock climbing trip is the same as going for an adventurous trip. If you are a novice in camping and hiking, start with day adventure trips till you feel you are comfortable and skilled enough to plan a few days in wilderness parks.

Although some indoor rock climbers do not ever make the step into outdoor climbing, indoor climbing gyms provide learning and practicing venues for those planning on taking it outdoors. It is always better to go on a short trip to begin with, just to get the feel of the camping experience. Remember, you will be traveling over boulders and other rough surfaces at times and want to be able to press off the ground with confidence that your boots will provide the right amount of support.

When was the last time you went to sleep listening to crickets and bullfrogs, an owl hooting or the soulful cry of the loon. Share your breakfast with a chipmunk, all without leaving your campsite.

Their are gyms for indoor climbing, it is a physically demanding activity that not only serves as exercise but also sharpens other skills such as coordination and confidence. You will need a flashlight so you can see your way around after you've put off your campfire. For the seasoned backpackers and campers, the A-frame style tent and backpacking tent are the ones to choose because it is lightweight and simple to set-up.

No honking horns, no ringing phones, just the great outdoors. Campfire cooking will bring everyone together for an enjoyable evening of storytelling and great food.
