The Best Way To Camp
Innomax Solutions
Tent camping is a way to be one with nature and take time off far from
the madding crowd to rewind and rejuvenate your senses. There are many
things you could do while camping, you could choose to fish in a
stream or lake, go boating, play ball or just spend some quiet time
bird watching.
There is actually no dearth of activities you could choose to do during your tent camping trip.
There are many places you could go to pitch your tent and enjoy a few nights under the open sky. Westchester County camping grounds are a welcoming spot for many campers as are the New York City camping Parks. You could also choose to camp along the rocky shores of Maine's Acadia national Park or along the Wild River in the Alaskan Peninsula. What I mean is that there is no limit to the places you can take your camping gear and pitch your tent for an enjoyable tent camping vacation.
One will notice I am using the term 'tent camping' in this article, this is because many camping enthusiasts feel that their favorite pastime has been hijacked and given a new meaning by the many people who do not with to put in the required effort and foot it to the camping spots. They would rather drive out there in their cars and campers complete with their equipment that makes for an apartment on wheels. Conventional campers feel that this is not a true form of camping.
However, we do live in a free state and people are free to choose their activities and name them too. So lets just stick to the form of camping better known as tent camping.
Tent camping involves basic equipment such as a tent that needs to be pitched on two rods and tied to four pegs driven into the ground at the four corners of the tent. The tent is typically slanting to the ground on either side with the two opposite ends forming a triangle with the ground. Then there is the sleeping bag and sleeping rug or 'trap' used to keep the moisture and water out of the tent. Finally there is the cooking equipment complete with a compact stove. All this is packed into a back pack and carried to the camping spot on foot.
Setting up a tent and spending some time in the lap of nature, cooking your food on a wood fire and moving on as and when you wish is a very exciting way of unwinding and rejuvenating your senses.

The Best Way to Camp
For those of us who are experienced campers, this is good information. However, our family found that,when possible, we would camp in our pop-up camping trailer. This afforded us the same as tent camping, without sleeping on a wet canvas floor and wet sleeping bags, when there was a downpour. Also, it was healthier for little children, not to sleep in wet sleeping bags, as the canvas floor, after a few days of rain, would be wet and soaked through. We enjoyed camping on the islands at Lake Champlain, The Thousand Islands, Lake George and others (reaching there by our boat). In some cases, you could take a shuttle boat back and forth to the islands. This afforded a lot of privacy, nature, and swimming was a few yards away. With cell phones today, you are never far from contact with family, etc. Happy Camping! Lee

What was the point to this story? A grade 4 student could have written it. Did I learn something? See something from a new perspective? Of course not. Just a waste of everyone's time to read it. Why do you post useless nothing like this?
