Don’t Forget a First Aid Kit

March 8, 2008


One of the things that everyone loves to do when camping is play hard. That why we always remember to bring a first aid kit when we go camping.

If it’s not the kids or grandkids falling down and getting scraped up, it’s me taking a tumble on my bicycle when I’m out trail ridding. Someone is always coming up with a scrape, scratch, bug bite or sunburn that needs some sort of first aid.

We picked up this handy All Purpose & Outdoor first aid kit for around $15.00 and it has just about everything you would need.

Here are just some of the things in this kit:

  • Bandaids of all shapes and sizes
  • Antiseptic wipes
  • Soap Towelettes
  • Sting relief 
  • Alcohol cleansing pads
  • Aspirin
  • Ibuprofen
  • Tape 
  • First aid cream
  • Blistex
  • Sun X with an SPF of 30
  • Tweezers
  • Scissors
  • Safety pins
  • Ice pack
  • Wraps
  • Emergency/Survival blanket
  • A small travel aid kit that fits into your back pocket

And much more.

So be sure that you take along a first aid kit on your next camping trip.

Happy Camping :-)

Half Price Camping

March 4, 2008


I recently came across a website called the Happy Camper Half Price Camping Club. It is a club that for a small yearly membership fee you can camp at over 1,200 campgrounds across the United States with a 50% discount.

The benefits that they offer are as follows:

50% off at 1,200 quality club campgrounds
Free camping guide with bonus coupons
Free member’s only club newsletter
Free online trip planner
Instant access membership card
Bonus long term discount at over 100 campgrounds

I haven’t yet tried this service, but I have read through all of the testimonials and even the complaints and feel that if you’re like me and love to camp at different campgrounds then this is an offer that is worth signing up for.

The only complaints that I could find were that a select few didn’t think that some of the campgrounds were up to par to their standards.

Most of the places that I camp at barely have a restroom let alone running water. And that’s just fine with me.

There are more than enough top notch campgrounds with this membership that makes it worth joining.

They do have a three month full money back guarantee. So give it a try this summer and if you don’t like it, get your money back.

Check them out at Half Price Camping.com
