Your Simple Guide to Essential Camping Skills
Camping is both thrilling and relaxing. It's a wonderful way to escape
from everyday life and to connect with nature. The beauty, the solitude,
the campfire, the wildlife--it's a perfect opportunity to recharge your
mind, body, and spirit. But if you've never gone before or if you've
only camped a few times, the idea might seem intimidating. Worry not;
you can get started with the right information. Expert camper and
outdoors enthusiast Johnny Molloy gives you all that you need to know in
a simple, concise, quick guide.
Make the most of your overnight adventures by putting Johnny's wisdom to
use. Pitch your tent in the correct spot. Deal with bugs, rain, and
other unpleasantries with ease. Johnny leads you through the steps and
considerations to maximize your experience, from choosing a destination
and packing gear to food storage and animal safety. His expertise comes
from more than 4,500 nights in a tent, in locations that range from
Alaska to Florida.
Special sections within this skills guide explain how to build a fire
and also provide a checklist of essential items to bring along. Perhaps
the most valuable part of the entire booklet is Johnny's "Top 10 Pieces
of Camping Advice." You'll learn about weather safety, what to do when
nature calls, the best practices for camping with kids and/or your dog,
and more.
Good camping skills lead to the best outdoors experiences. So take the
"rough" out of "roughing it." Keep Johnny's information on hand; the
pocket-sized guide is easy to bring along. Then enjoy all that the
natural world has to offer.
