The thought of camping alone is a bit daunting, especially if like myself are a woman who is single with young children. It isn’t something women should be told to do when they are first getting used to camping. Women must have both experience and common sense in camping. However, the majority of campers are friendly friends who want to be one with nature. You can take some simple steps to ensure your camping experience with your children is secure and enjoyable. Here are some guidelines that will help you camp in peace with your children. If you’re female or male and if you’re camping in solitude, then unless you’re a hardened outdoor enthusiast who has become accustomed to the wild, you should stick to designated campsites that allow you to be with others. There are dangers when out in the wild particularly if there’s no one else around. If you’re camping with a woman, the best thing you can do when you get to the campsite is to introduce your self to the camp owner. Let them know that you’re traveling by yourself. Request them to stop by your camp if they go through. If you’re content with your privacy, make it your business to try to pitch your tent in an area which is fairly close by to other campers — particularly an entire family, a couple or a group of women. Introduce yourself to your friends. My girls often assume this role when they’re out exploring and meeting new people right away. This way, you’ll feel less vulnerable and more likely to reach them should you find yourself in trouble. Always keep your mobile phone on you at all times and it is charged. If you camp without an EHU, most campsites will permit charging your phone in the office. Request the number of the person on the line during off hours when you get to the campsite. You can save the number immediately to your mobile so that you don’t need to hunt for paper any longer. It was a huge help this past season when all electricity went out in the area and the field, causing a complete blackout. I contacted the campground groundsman who came quickly and gave my children and I lanterns and reassured us. Be careful not to wander around the camp grounds alone after dark. It is important to be aware of people who could be out and about late at night. It’s best to be as quiet as you can during this late night. This is essential especially for my girls, who love to sing and dance in the torchlight. Be more careful about having lengthy conversations with other people. Just go about your normal work, and then go back to your camp. The idea of carrying a personal alarm as I do might seem extreme but will give you an added feeling of security too. Tips for safety include making sure your vehicle isn’t in camping sites if you’ve travelled by car. This will enable you to quickly escape if you’re uneasy. And, if you have driven to a campsite and are nervous, don’t forget you’re able to change your plans to sleep in a tent or in your car with the doors shut. Being the determined and dependable camper I was, I pitched my tent in an unexpected storm in April, with two of my daughters… I felt confident that, if we needed to, we could take shelter in the car since my daughters were cozy and sound asleep.. We stayed in our sleeping bags in our tent until morning! When they awoke they didn’t have any memory of the storm at all although they enjoyed putting their shoes off and playing in the muddy puddles behind our tent! The best safety advice is to let your family members know of your plans, and staying contact with your mobile phone at specific dates. Even if it’s only sending texts, you should arrange to call or text messages at specific intervals throughout the day and stick to the program. If you are camping alone and you are unable to find someone else to join you It’s a great idea for you to explore forums or message boards Treasurehunter For web camping. There you will meet female campers and could have the opportunity to make new acquaintances. These simple tips will aid you in conquering the fears of camping on your own and will provide you with a sense of accomplishment. At first I was apprehensive however, there’s no turning back for me because I realized I could have a camping trip on my own and developed the camping bug! The girls together and I have shared a lot of experiences and adventures on our trips and created memories that I’m hoping will be forever etched into their memories for many years to come! We’re not stopping! We are a team and explore new places together. In the meantime, we love all that nature and camping has to offer.
