Camping Safety Guide - Plants, Insects, Food, Equipment, First Aid

Camping is a fun-filled activity for many individuals and families. However, proper planning and preparation for camping safety is too often not given enough emphasis. The result is that the anticipated joy, excitement and exhilaration of the camping trip is many times disrupted by unanticipated events--poisonous plants, insect bites and strings, spoiled food, tent area issue--just to mention a few. Many of these could have possibly been avoided or diminished if a few camping safety tips and guidelines had been followed.

Poisonous plants include poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac. Abiding by the leaves of three leave it be" rule is a good way to identify these plants that cause itching and other skin irritations. These plants can range from yellow/orange to yellow/green to red depending on the time in the growth cycle of the plant. During the winter small berries can also be seen.

Pictures of these plants as well as treatments for the skin irritations can be found at the website http://www.outdoorcamping101.com/.

Insect bites and stings from bees, wasps, yellow jackets, spiders, and ticks can result in painful itching, swelling and redness. In some individuals these bites and stings can cause an allergic reaction which should be treated immediately, especially if it is greater than a mild reaction. If swallowing and breathing become difficult, or fainting/dizziness occurs, or the tongue swells, immediate emergency medical attention should be obtained. Further discussion on this topic can be found at the website.

Wilderness animals (bears, etc.) should not be treated a friendly beasts. Children especially should be taught that they should not attempt to feed or go near these animals. These animals are particularly attracted to food. Therefore care should be taken to keep food at a distance from the living areas. Also the food should be stored in elevated areas not readily accessible to these animals.

Food safety is a very important aspect of camping. Food poisoning or spoilage can occur very quickly especially in warm temperatures. However, there are many foods that are non-perishable that can be taken on camping trips without worry. These include most can foods, nuts, some fruits, dehydrated meals that can be prepared with water. Special care must be taken when bringing meats and poultry. Refrigeration is the greatest concern. If there is no refrigeration, especially in the warmer temperatures, meats and poutry, unless dried, are better left at home.

Tent safety can be practiced by adhering to a few tips:
oDont pitch your tent in low lying areas with poor drainage where rain and water can collect:
oDont store food in close proximity to the living areas (less than 100 feet) this can be an invitation to unwanted visitors (animals):
oDont store flammable liquid fire starters near the living areas:
oDont pitch your tent under trees where damage can occur from falling limbs, etc.:
oMake sure that the tent is not flammable

The following general camping safety guidelines will also make you trip more pleasurable:
oBring proper clothing. Sometimes the temperatures change unexpectedly especially at night:
oProtect you eyes and skin with sunglasses and sunscreen:
oInsect repellents will help keep away pesky insects:
oBring your own drinking water the streams and creeks may be contaminated:
oA first aid kit:
oFlashlights:
oCandles/laterns:
oPocketknives:
oCell Phone:
oSignaling device:
oMaps

How To Find Inexpensive Ugg Boots Online And Off

When one is looking for a version of a product that is cheaper than the original or the brand that the product is most known for you can find two different classifications, one the one hand you will have a product of relatively high quality but at a much lower price than normal and on the other hand you will have a version that will be of lower quality and of course still lower in price as well.

Ugg boots are traditionally found from manufacturers in Australia where the Ugg boots originated but now you can find them all over and if you are willing to take the time to do a little research you can find them at lower prices, just know that because they are very popular you will have to invest some time into the exercise of finding the right vendor to buy from due to the fact that there are large numbers of dealers selling the footwear these days.

If you are looking for Ugg boots locally you will probably have a more difficult time unless you look for them in the holiday season when stores are more likely to be holding sales on them. This is true with nearly any item, you will find the best bargains at certain times of the year and during certain seasons. The problem with this is that you may not want to wait the length of time necessary to get a good deal locally.

Of course the simple solution is to use the internet, thats what I do for just about anything and everything. There is virtually nothing that you cant find online and because of the competition you will be able to find great prices as well. In addition to multiple online vendors you can also try some of the various online auction sites like eBay. Just remember when you are bidding to add in the cost of shipping and dont get so carried away with the frenzy of the auction that you overpay. Have a price that you will stop at and dont change it.

If you are merely after the look of Ugg boots and arent concerned with the quality of authentic Australian sheepskin outers with the warm pure wool inside then you can always buy some cheap knockoffs for next to nothing, just remember the old adage, you get what you pay for or in this case what you dont pay for.
