On any camping trip, whether it be a single night or a multi-day trip there is an ulterior motive as to why we are camping. It may be to get from point A to point B, it may be for that special fishing adventure, or it could be for just a short escape where you do nothing but just relax. Doing some planning prior to starting your adventure, even just the basics can make a big difference between having a good trip or having a great trip.

Do your research! The longer the trip the more research is needed. The internet and fellow campers are just some options to help with your planning.

In this podcast we provide a brief overview to planning a safe enjoyable camping adventure.

In any recreational activity or hobby there are pros and cons. Recently we talked about why people camp and in that podcast epsiode we discussed reasons that we go car camping with the focus being more about the positive aspects of the camping experience. Having said that how often do articles focus on the negatives aspects of camping preferring instead to talk up the positives? In many cases we pretend there aren’t any negatives. So why wouldn’t you camp?

So why do people camp? In answering this question there is no one single answer, whether we go camping as individuals, as a couple, as friends, or as a family, the reasons will often vary and while there may be similarities everyone will have their own 'why'. In recording this podcast episode Gill and I didn't have to think to much about why we camp, we have very clear reasons for opting to go camping, but are other people this transparent in their motivations?

In the following podcast episode we discuss some of the reasons we go camping with a focus on vehicle based camping. Some of these reasons you may have an affinity with but others won't!
