Fitness Tips

5 Easy
Camping Tips

1. Place your cell inside a ceramic mug to amplify your tunes.

2. Out of matches?
A magnifying glass or eyeglasses can ignite dry materials to start a fire. 

3. Night lighting
such as a lantern can make your camping evenings feel more cozy and inviting.

4. Try camping on a weeknight.
Many of us live near a campground and they're much less busy Monday-Friday.

5. Keep all your camping gear organized
in a box in your basement or vehicle so it's easy to hit the road.
