If you are a lover of fresh air, colorful landscapes and tranquility, then outdoor recreation is for you. But the lack of familiar conditions can scare off a city dweller. How to relax in nature without changing your favorite habits, and what to put in your backpack so that your mood is not ruined?
First of all, think about an overnight stay. For these purposes, a tent or sleeping bag is suitable. You can, of course, spend the night in the car, but this is rather inconvenient. It is better to give preference to a tent - it is dry, calm and there is where to put your things.
You can put a blanket on the floor, but it will still be hard to sleep. An excellent option is an inflatable mattress. An inflatable double mattress fits perfectly into a double tent. Do not forget the blankets, even if you go on holiday in the summer, spending the night almost outdoors will still be cold.
By the way, inflatable pillows are also a good option, they take up little space, and sleep on them is just as comfortable as on ordinary pillows.
Now there are many places specially equipped for camping. These are various campsites. There may be a parking lot, a shower, a toilet, possibly a tent tray, a table.
You will be charged for the stay, payment is made for every day, in some places and for each resident. Be prepared for this. The amount is usually small, much cheaper than a hotel room, but everywhere, I repeat, in different ways.
What kind of outdoor recreation is complete without a fire? To do this, take coal or firewood, liquid for ignition, paper, matches with you in advance. If conifers grow nearby, pick up cones - this is an excellent fuel for a fire, they get a lot of heat and they burn for a long time.
For cooking, take with you a brazier, a barbecue net (it is very convenient to cook on it), a metal pot, and a metal mug. Small portable gas stoves are now on sale, the kit includes a can of gas, a very convenient device.
Take plenty of water, it is useful not only for drinking, but also for washing your hands, vegetables, fruits, dishes … If you cannot do without a mobile phone even on vacation, you can purchase a portable charger. Thanks to him, you can always charge your phone. Of course, it is extremely difficult to think over everything to the smallest detail, you can put the necessary things together in advance so as not to forget anything.
