How to Survive when Lost in Another Country
By Viv James
A little forethought and organization will payoff in a great memorable
adventure for that next outdoors excursion you may have planned.
Gas lanterns give off bright light but are noisy and will be the most
expensive of all lanterns to operate. You will have to pack extra propane
bottles
Then you have the glorious Sunset and after that why not get together
with your neighboring campers for a story telling session and singsong
round the campfire. If you thought a Camping Vacation would be
'roughing it' and 'hard work' then think again, yes it will take some
planning but that's half the fun and it won't be that much work.
To go camping does not have to cost a arm and a leg. With the basics
found in your home you could go today.
In the Southern states, peak tornado season is March through May.
Northern states are more likely to be hit with tornadoes during the
summer. People know that during a tornado warning they should move to
an interior room with no windows, or in a basement. When camping,
that's not a viable option.
Check with the state fishing regulations for exact dates and detailed
fishing information, including proper license requirements. Some fishing
opportunities will require overnight backcountry use permits. It is always
important to respect the park you are fishing in, in order to maintain the
quality waters that protect the natural fish populations and food sources
for bald eagles, ospreys and otters among others. The only problem is
that camping in areas that are not designated for camping can cause
problems with the law. Many land owners do not wish campers to be on
their property and some nature reserves prohibit camping due to damage
it can cause to the environment.
Wisconsin for instance has no national park but has some of the best
state parks you could ever want. So, it is not so important exactly where
you go as long as the place you go has adequate facilities and is well kept.
Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time getting
reacquainted with your family. Great family camping getaways are easy to
plan and inexpensive vacation options. Revive Your Senses and Learn How
to Survive when Lost in Another Country
Traveling is one of life's greatest pleasures. But especially for trips to
another country, where everything is new and strange, traveling can be
quite a drag.
And if worse comes to worst, being lost in another country could be the
most horrible nightmare of your life. That is when learning the skills to
survive when lost in another country helps. Here are some tips to help
you endure the consequences of being lost in a strange place and live
through the means of survival until you can go back to your homeland.
1. Presence of mind
Being lost in another country is one thing, but not having presence of
mind is another and could be the worst thing that could happen to you.
It is still understandable that you might get lost in another country
because the place is totally strange to you. The only way to survive being
lost in another country is to have presence of mind so you can think of
ways to get a ride back home. Or if luck permits it, you can possibly
discover your way to your exact destination without having to spend
more than what you can afford.
Camping mixed with outdoor activity is a great way to get ourselves
involved with nature. National Parks can provide an excellent backdrop for
some of your outdoor activities.
Therefore in order to make sure that you have a pleasant camping
adventure, make sure that you are fully clothed against all odds.
You will need a lid for the ice box take another box and fold the flaps
inside and slide the box over the top of you food box. Remember to keep
this ice box out of the sun and you will find the ice will last about 4 to 5
days.
They offer camp sites, cabins, or day use facilities in 43 states. The online
system allows you to search by state or campground, lake, or forest
name. Be aware that the glass globe of all gas and propane lanterns get
extremely hot and can give you a serious burn.
The thought of camping alone can be very intimidating, especially if you¡¯re
a woman. Ideally, it is not something recommended to women new to
camping.
The U.S. National Parks offer some of the most incredible rock climbing
and mountaineering pursuits in the world. Rock climbing and
mountaineering are usually sports reserved for people with a bit of
experience.
There are many websites that cater to campers with information on
where to find the most affordable camp gear as well as the most popular
items to buy and use when camping. Get used to cooking over a wood
fire and sharing your space with wildlife, before you venture too far away
from the comforts of home.
2. Stay where you are
If you think you are lost, without the slightest idea where you are, or if
you do not have any clue how to head back to where you have come
from, stay where you are. Attempting to move further or trying to
discover ways to go back will only make matters worse.
Besides being a complete waste of energy, according to statistical reports,
nearly 70% of people who are lost cannot find a way to return to where
they came from.
3. Learn to provide your basic needs
If you really cannot think of a way to find your way back home, maintain
your basic needs by carrying an ample food and water supply as well as
clothing before you leave your place.
You never know what will happen next once you have arrived in another
country. So it is best to carry your basic needs with you in case something
goes wrong, such as getting lost. Keep in mind that traveling to another
country is not all play. You have to keep your senses with you and your
mind clear to anticipate the necessary things that you have to do in case
something occurs, such as being lost in another country. More on

Just like your old scoutmaster used to say, "Always be prepared". Make a
list and check it three times before you leave on your camping trip.
A definite upcoming trend is more and more people seeking untouched
locales and wilderness.
One of the most convenient and popular camping activities is hiking trails.
For some people a hike can consist of a simple walk around the park, while
others prefer a much lengthier hike. Regardless of what sort of hike you
will be taking, a little preparation will go a long way in ensuring a
comfortable journey.
Ventilation--It's better to face the tail of your tent into prevailing winds.
This will maximize air flow. Scrutinize the area--Check the area for sharp
objects that may damage your tent before setting up camp. Nutrition,
nutrition, nutrition. You¡¯re number one priority when you¡¯re camping
should be to have a good time and enjoy nature ¨C something that is
difficult to do when you¡¯re sick and exhausted. Be sure to take camping
food with you that will keep you well fed and your energy level up.
Energy bars and gels don't usually weigh a lot and pack a serious nutrition
punch, making them great for the trail. If you don't cook a lot at home
and don't plan to while you're camping, do yourself a favor and eat more
than candy bars and licorice. Just about anyone can boil water, so just
about anyone can take some prepared camping foods on their trip and
eat well.
Then once you purchase the tent, practice setting it up several times.
This will give you an idea of what tools you will need to take with you.
Doing this will also give you a great idea about the functionality and usage
for your tent. You may also need to take some spare parts for the tent
incase of breakage or damage to some parts.
Just the thing for negotiating the wilds of the West Elk Mountains. I
cruised south from Glenwood Springs, turned short of the road to Aspen,
and passed the beehive coke ovens of Redstone to the town of Marble.
In some ways, Marble is a modern ghost town, with dirt roads and
weather-beaten cabins, but as it hosts a Post Office and fire department,
it retains its "living" status. If you are walking at night never shine your
flash light at any moving vehicles. Your light may blind the driver and
which could cause an accident.
Instead of going up to other campers and saying, ¡°Hi, I'm Kerry and I¡¯m
here by myself¡± ask questions like ¡°How can I contact you if I experience
a problem¡± or ¡°is this campground regularly patrolled?¡±Don't advertise you
are by yourself by finding campsites away from walking trails
