That magic word is Organization! So today we are not giving you master hacks but 2 primer tips from really organized people to help you enjoy your camping at its best.

1.-Write things Down and make a Schedule

For camping is essential to preview the place that you are going to:

The climate depending on the season so you know if you have to pack warm or fresh clothes.
What kind of insects or animals are more common and how to get them away?
How easy is to have signal or communication with the outside? etc.

You need a conscious list of things you may need...

But take your time for this. Sit down and try to think that you are already there and all the things you are going to do and need for the day.

Take your Schedule close and think: Ok for breakfast, I’ll have eggs.. and go deeper and deeper… “So to have eggs as I like I will use a pan, 2 eggs, salt, bacon, bread, a plate and a fork” write it down and keep going with the rest of the journey from a list of things that you may need to spend the time. Are you taking a book, a guitar, a soccer ballon?

2.-What you need and what you don't

Here is one of our biggest mistakes at camping: taking stuff that only overweights our trip and downplays important things that we fundamentally need at the time. To avoid this after going through the first step use all your creativity to reuse containers and try to take with you only what you will use. Don't take the whole bottle of shampoo and don’t forget the bags to clean the garbage after all!
