campfire skewer - the way that dad and his friends used to do it

Fresh or dried fruits are especially useful if you have children on the camping or hiking trip. Camping and hiking both have there pros and cons.

It is essential that you first gather as much information as possible from park rangers and guide books, understand well the geographical conditions and interact with campers who have already been there. Just the family, some simple camping supplies, plenty of food, and we're good to go. It is better to hike in the cool of the mornings and evenings.

No matter how thirsty you feel, drinking water from streams and rivers can only compound your problems while camping. You will also want to take some time and research things like stoves and lamps before beginning camping. Snake bites are not a rarity on camping trips, neither are falls and bruises.

There are many websites that give you ample information about the best places as well as the best time for rock climbing. Wear or carry gloves and have them attached to your jacket to prevent losing them. Lightweight waterproof jackets and pants are good items for protection against rain and wind.

Hiking will not only make you more fit, it will also help reduce stress and allow you plenty of thinking time. Keep your back pack as light as possible and enjoy your trip.
