Planning a Camping Trip

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Albert Hedgepeth with Expert Village and today we're here to talk about planning for a camping trip. One of the first components is figuring out who's going to be going with yeah. Sometimes you want to take your family, sometimes it's your friends, sometimes you want to go solo, but each trip has its own set of expectations and planning procedures so that the trip goes smoothly. With a family, it can be a lot fun to get the entire household involved in the planning process. Figuring out where you're going to go, figuring out where you're going to sleep, figuring out what food you're going to take, what activities you're going to do. If you set it up as a date and it's a new relationship, you might want to have your partner just a little bit so that you're both on the same page whenever you get out and you're camping. A lot of the amenities of the "real" world are not there. It is really important if you're planning on doing this new experience with a new partner that you're both there and involved in the planning process. Whenever you go solo, you definitely better know what you're doing because you can really get yourself into some trouble, especially if you're going into really wilderness areas. A lot of people these days are also camping in RV's. They're bringing the amenities of their home with them to the campsite. RV's have showers, they have TV's, and they have satellite radio, satellite television, all of the above. There's also boat camping. A lot of boats are just like RV's. They have the same resources and amenities and they're a great place for a family to get away, enjoy the water and to enjoy camping at the same time. Long distance trekking, we're hiking over long distances, is a different story. At that point you're carrying everything in your backpack, your water, your food, your sleeping supplies, your tent, your sleeping bag, and all the resources you need to stay alive have to be carried on your back. While your planning these camping trips, it is just important to remember who is involved, how much experience they have, and where you're planning on going and what the terrain is like. As long as you plan appropriately for a camping trip, it can be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
