Camping trips can be lots of fun for anyone who likes the outdoors. But there are things to consider when planning a simple outing for rest and relaxation. For example, trips that require you to carry all your camping supplies to the camp site can be a big headache and more effort than they are worth, especially if the hike to the camp site is a long distance from the car! Maybe you find yourself with a weekend without anything planned or maybe a weekend when you want to get away and don’t want to do anything? I know what I’d do. I would pack up the car and head for the woods. Sitting by a camp fire, listening to the night sounds is my favorite thing on a weekend when I need some R&R. So this article is about ideas for an effortless way to camp. First of all, let’s define the laid back approach to camping? When you can drive your vehicle right up to the camp site, that’s called laid back camping. Even if you’re driving a four wheeler it’s still called laid back camping. The advantage of laid back camp versus primitive camp is that you can take anything you want with you. If you want to take lawn chairs or huge grill or a stack of magazines, you can. Load your car or truck with food, clothing, tents, matresses, games, and anything else you want to take along and get going. It’s just that simple. So where can you do this kind of camping? National and state parks don’t allow driving your vehicle right up to the campsite except in designated areas. But Otherwise, you can "car camp" virtually anywhere on public lands. The internet is loaded with webpages that can help you find such camp sites. Here are some things you may want to think about bringing along when you go on your laid back weekend adventure: hiking gear, bird watching binoculars and field guide, a radio for music and weather updates, tent, LED Flashlight, sleeping bag, grill, [http://www.amazon.com/Pressure-Addition-Disaster-Emergency-Multitools/dp/B00CCFRFJ0 tire pressure gauge], fire starting gear, lots of food and drink, first aid kit, a stack of reading material – this can also be used for building a fire – such as newspapers and magazines, swiss-army knife, hammock, dogs and dog food, folding chairs and table, stove, table service and utensils... anything you can fit into the vehicle. Take all that you need to be relaxed. If you don’t have these things, don’t worry about it, all you really need are food, shelter, first aid, and some common sense. Many people actually relax more easily when they keep it simple and bring only what they really need. In conclucion, laid back camping is a great way to re-create yourself (that's why they call it recreation). Take your spouse, your children, your siblings, your friends, and/or anyone else you'd like to draw closer to. Without the distractions of television, more than one cellphone (for emergency only), Internet, and alarm clocks, you will have a great time. So, get outdoors and re-create yourselves and your family!
