Camping Resolutions for the New Year

How many of you have made your annual resolutions for the new year?  Things such as losing weight, saving more money, and being less stressed, for example.  All good things, but not ones that should necessarily require a resolution to achieve.  

So we've put together a tangible, achievable list of resolutions that are sure to bring joy and a sense of fulfillment.  No, we are not talking about your weight or pocketbook - we're talking about camping.  So here you go:

The Celestial Navigator - January 2015

There are few things more enjoyable during a night in camp than gazing up at the night sky.  Now you can be a celestial expert and dazzle your campmates with your night sky knowledge. 


Tonight, if you have a clear sky, set a goal for yourself of seeing all five visible planets. In their order going outward from the sun, the five visible planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, (Earth), Jupiter and Saturn. These worlds have been observed by our ancestors since time immemorial.

Best of all, you don't have to stay up all hours of the night to see these five visible planets. You can catch Mercury, Venus and Mars in the southwest at nightfall, Jupiter in the east at early-to-mid evening and Saturn in the southeast before dawn.

Cooky Jason's January Recipe:
World Famous Double Action Chicken

 

Don't kid yourselves, folks. This is the best way to do chicken. This is for thighs (my personal favorite), drumsticks, wings, or even quarters. (excluding boneless skinless breasts) This is also great because I really don't like handling raw poultry at the campsite. 

 

So as always, some of the prep is done at home.

The Gear Doctor - 
Planning Tips for Awesome Trips

Throwing a sleeping roll and a tent into the back of a pick-up and hitting the road without a care in the world is one of the best parts of camping. But putting a little time and energy into planning your camping trip helps ensure that your precious vacation time is not spent driving around at midnight trying to find a safe, legal spot to lay your head.

 

Step 1  Match the amount of time you have with the distance you want to drive. Driving always takes slightly longer than you think. If your GPS unit tells you the drive is six hours long, give yourself at least an extra hour for impromptu coffee breaks, tourism and getting lost. Don't plan campgrounds too far away from one another or you'll spend too much time in the car and not enough time enjoying the scenery from your campsite.
