making ready For Bad Weather When Camping With the Kids

It's piquant to look at what population think camping. As a previous Park Ranger for the National Park service and before I had children, I used to camp coyote style, which is basically to accumulate up some leaves to make a bed, and sleep solo out in the wilderness back country of the Rocky Mountains surrounded by Aspens under a ceiling of huge piquant twinkling stars. I loved it and felt a deep sense of free time in knowing that the whole world was my campground.

Other folks think spending the night in an expensive lodge with electricity, running water, a warm shower, toilets, beds and a full kitchenette camping. Now that I have young kids, I had to upgraded from my coyote style camping to accommodate camping with kids by bringing a 4 season tent, camping pads, -20 sleeping bags, extra food and water rations, first aid, and clothing to meet all weather conditions. We still speculation deep into the back country of the wilderness but rain, sleet, snow or shine, we all the time stay comfortable. An there in lies the key to a victorious camping trip.

Comfort is everything, especially with kids. I never hesitate to pay a dinky extra for higher potential rain and snow gear because this is a necessity that you don't want to skimp on if the either turns ugly, which happens a lot in Colorado. We have camped with our kids when they where only a few months old, and instinctively understood the point of having the right gear, a good tent, and proper clothing. I have all the time been the type of someone who plans for the worst, and hopes for the best. So far this method has worked for me.

Having an uncomfortable camping member in your group can not only ruin the whole trip, but also constantly taint the family memories. It's well sad when you think about past trips that had gone wrong. I remember going on a trip with an additional one family who claimed to be seasoned campers themselves. Our families went on a short camping trip together up to the mountains on a weekend that went from sunny and warm to cold and raining in a heartbeat. My kids were still pretty young but my family was ready and pulled out the proper clothing to meet the conditions. Our friends however, had only summer clothing, and were in no way ready for the sudden convert in weather. Their juvenile girls had sour faces and miserable attitudes which fast began to rub off on everyone else. They ultimately packed up and went home, while my family stayed and enjoyed the campground all to our selves. It was an piquant part that has stuck with me ever since.

I guess the same can be said for traveling straight through life with kids. We cannot predict the future, but we can put in order for rough roads ahead. With the world economy, job security, and stock store topsy turvy, it only makes sense to start saving money, conferrence supplies, medicine, tools, food, water, clothing, organizing your gear, taking care of what you have, and paying off the bills in order to be in the best position in the event that it all goes bad. Bad Weather can assault in our lives at a moments consideration with finances, condition issues, accidents, as well as actual weather or natural disasters. It's our duty as parents to put in order ourselves, protect our families from harsh conditions, so that we can be comfortable, safe, happy and ready for when the sun comes out again. Then we can try to teach others to do the same.

Happy Travels!
